The Probe

[paul_nicholls]

Hi all,
I am wanting to add into The Probe some sort of liquid/goop/acid, etc. that will over time damage and then destroy crystals/rocks/the probe? that are touching it.

I could just put into the game liquid as static 32x32 tiles (possibly animated) like the rest of the tiles in the game, but it would look silly if the ground got blown up underneath it and the liquid didn't fall, or an object exploded in it, destroying some of the liquid - leaving a hole.

Thinking about it, I want to have an outlet somewhere and have liquid coming out of it.

The liquid should fall down, and fill up tile squares once it has hit the bottom.

So I guess I might need to use particles?

Any ideas?

EDIT: I guess if I didn't use particles, I would want to do something similar to boulder dash rocks! in this video:



See 1:02 minutes onwards for the first bit of falling water...

cheers,
Paul
