Invisible Walls...

So, a few weeks ago I somehow broke a piston on my Crawler which I was going to enter to CC07, but it was too unstable, so I had to leave it there, anyway, when I was still working on it, I heard a crack, since I didn't care for the thing much, I just started deleting it, and when I highlighted the area again, I found a strange thin layer square. I couldn't make it a thick-layer object though, but I saw several uses for it, though I haven't done anything with it yet.

Also, today, I was messing around with MM objects, such as boss-creatures. But one of them, namely Oni the Terrible had some strange blocks down it's feet, which upon shrinking became invisible! I smashed all the other parts with a large metal block, and then saved it as an object, and removed the rest of the parts. Now I got this "invisible" material object. Interesting, really, I tried turning it into dark matter, which made it completely invisible, no matter the size, I haven't tested it with other materials and hazards though, nor pistoning it, but it's quite amazing and you can use as thin or thick layers, and even shape it.

So, I was thinking if my finds are old stuff or not. I have previously found stuff which turned out to be old discoveries already, so I'm just wondering about it. Sorry if this is the wrong section for this, I'm quite new here and my english isn't good either...

I've not come across this before, maybe some other members could say whether they have or not.

And don't worry about your English - it's excellent! :)

yeah i think its called piston matter.... i dont know much about it but it comes from copying and pasting something

Thank you both for the replies and answers. But what's the material under Oni's feet? If shrunk it turns invisible...It doesn't seem to have any negative sides like not being able to add stickers or decorations on it or anything.

yeah theres a glitch similar to that called sharp materials il ltry to find the link

"Sharp materials"? Would that mean the object's shape? The invisible object under Oni's feet looked like a simple block, and did not have any pistons or motors or anything attached to it...

its a glitch called sharp materials that becomes invisible

Shrinking material, then smearing it, then shrinking it again, etc, will make it invisible no matter what size it is. Works with anything. Before it goes invisible, it starts to 'mess up,' which makes rounded corners sharp (sponge, dark matter).

Really? Would you mind breaking that down in a thread in the tutorial section? Something like this would be very useful to me. I assume it's not too complicated, but I really am dense sometimes. Does it allow for large squares of thin material, or just strips?

:)

Its a thermo hog and its unpredictable, unfortunately. But I once found a glitch that was incredibly cool and useful. If I took a square and copied it and used it to cut a hole out of something that something would get thin, sharp spikes all over that were random, but perfect and looked super cool :)

Smearing it will make it invisible? I just shrinked the square object and it became invisible....Also, when I changed the material to dark matter it became completely invisible no matter the size of it like when it was in it's "original material".

Okay, so I was messing around with my newly found "invisibility material" and I found out if you will try to smear it, it doesn't allow you to, however, you can copy it and paste it inside the object itself, which would COMBINE the two same blocks! This is like the combining glitch I saw in a level, but much simpler! I think I'll make a level with this material as a prize, so we could learn about it and it's functions a bit more, if I don't find a level about it existing already.

Sorry, paintballs really can't go through it, he just made it really thin and tought they would go through, can't blame him, sorry for the confusion.

You can make selectable invisible thin layer of gas.
1. First make thick square.
2. Attach it to thin square.
3. Put brain on the thick piece and tweak it vulnerable.
4. Put wheel on thick piece.
5. Create wall of gas.
6. Drop creature at it.
7. Quickly pause.
8. Destroy all pieces. Leave the invisible thin piece.
9. Save it as object.
10. Emit with endless life time.
11. Save it as object.

The material I found works more simply. You can add an hazard to it, then shrink it only a tiny bit, and you will have a large hazardous invisible block! I'm making pictures at the moment, I'll send them in a jiffy.

Bump. Sorry for the double-post.

There is a demo level now, it's made by BaronYrth42. You could just search "dragon matter" and you should find it. You can get it as a prize from my dragon matter tutorial.

isnt that a bit you know obnoxious calling it dragon matter? when it was found ages ago by another member, im telling you its called PISTON MATTER!!

The name sounds cool, but it has nothing to do with dragons lol....

BTW, are you DraggyZ ?

I found piston matter before discovering this new matter...Actually, finding piston matter was what made me look for a new material in the first place!
I was pretty surprised to find a matter capable of many old glitches but more simplified, I tried finding if anybody else had found this before me but I found nobody to claim it...

I call it poop matter lawl.

You can call it whatever you like. =p
