#(JustinS) Particle wave over surface?

Hello again. I'm trying to find out how to make this wave of dust/wind that appears right over the surface after an explosion.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

see gif for reference

#

basically that initial wave over the surface, is what I want to make using some particles

#

I haven't tried anything so far because I have no idea how to approach this. Spawning particles in an increasing radius is pretty easy, but how do I make sure the particles climb over the surface properly? The individual particle would probably have to stop when approaching a barrier higher than 1.5 blocks to make it kinda realistic

#

and probably as well for a 2 block drop in height

this might help:

#

!t locationtag.flood_fill

prisma nimbusBOT
# vestal tulip !t locationtag.flood_fill
Tag: <LocationTag.flood_fill[<limit>]>

Returns the set of all blocks, starting at the given location,
that can be directly reached in a way that only travels through blocks of the same type as the starting block.
For example, if starting at an air block inside an enclosed building, this will return all air blocks inside the building (but none outside, and no non-air blocks).
As another example, if starting on a block of iron_ore in the ground, this will find all other blocks of iron ore that are part of the same vein.
This will not t...

hm interesting

#

I guess that would work if it's in a perfect grass biome

#

But I'll be using this a lot in deserts too, and other weird worlds with varying substrates where it's not always 1 unique top layer on the surface, so I guess then that might not work?

Maybe I should just spawn a few invisible npcs and make them pathfind in the directions away from the origin at high speed, and have particles follow them

#

npc's automatically walk up blocks I believe. So, I can also check when their velocity is 0, then remove them

#

extremely cursed, I hope there's a better way

bump 😦 This seems too difficult, but it would look so sick

if i understood what you want correctly, you should be able to use this

#

ooooohhhh nvm ceilings

#

well why not build a logic with .above and .below?

#

like,
-> with flood_fill, "spread" the particles
-> check if <[particle].points_between[<[particle].above[1.5]>].distance[0.1]> are all air, to check for a "wall"
-> check if .below is accessible too, as to make the wave follow the ground even downward like a real shockwave

my oh my i forgot you like to be pinged @languid spindle

languid spindle
#

particles aren't entities

#

afaik

elfin parcel
#

flood fill returns locations so that'd be it

And flood fill requires a material
