The colors would determine which way the bars spin, leading to lots of fun and useful mechanisms, traps, and puzzles.
#Add Color Crystal functionality to Firebars for a new variant.

Why was this rejected, lmao?
kind geyser
I think color fire bars have been rejected before, don't remember if a reason was given that time haha
hallow niche
Well, I hope Julian graces us with a reason eventually.
jaunty hound
Because there are too many permutations of it

Because there are too many permutations of it
wdym?
hallow niche
Too many? Do you mean having color changing as a changable aspect of base firebars instead of their own thing?
Because I'm okay with them being it's own version.
hallow niche
the fuck is a premutation
(genuine question)
From looking at the definition, it seems to imply that Julian thinks there's too many fiddly bits when it comes to firebars, like the individual flames and such?

cant we already reverse a firebar via conditions?
i felt like we can
then again i havent played in a minute
hallow niche
Looking it over, the conditions apply to turning the firebars on/off.
Guess I can kinda see why Julian thinks it could be a problem, in that regard.
That's a LOT of nuances for the game to keep track of.
upbeat hare
hmmm
yeah maybe if he turned the entire firbar into a single entity that rotates on the center maybe it would be easier to do
right now i think each individual fireball is a seprate entity
might be wrong

I think he means there'd be too many variants?
like red version for single/double/triple/quadruple fire bars and then 4 more for blue ones
hallow niche
Considering each line of a firebar can go up to 10 in length, and you can have up to four of em, and you're supposed to keep track of which ones are on/off, and you'd have to keep track of direction...
Well, yeah, I can imagine the system might bug out at some point.
hallow niche
Ohhhh. It’s just too big of a project at this time.
smoky canyon
would it be possible to turn "number of bars" into a property that you cycle through instead of selectable variants? 🤔
Or is it too late for that
jaunty hound
not a fan of that
smoky canyon
Alr fair

Come to think of it, last week update, instead of getting two new things, we actually got 8 instead lol.

What about just a "Color" version, along side the Spectral and Metal versions
Like, instead of adding a blue and red version, make it switch between the two colors and directions.
hallow niche
I suppose making CC functionality a base feature could be an option, should it be fine with Julian
slim stratus
Photoshop is amazing
guess I'll have to mod it in when support becomes availiable XD
worn rose
I don't think you could mod that kind of functionality like that.
hallow niche
You’d be surprised what modders can do
slim stratus
what do you mean? taht's totally custom music I added
worn rose
I know, I made a whole different game from a mod once xd, but in this case, the modding support is only meant for visuals only, if Julian would want that kind of capabilities (That changes another aspect of functionality) that would be something that need to reconsider.
worn rose
what do you mean? taht's *totally* custom music I added
C'mon that, kind of thing is easy 😏
Even so, it is clientside, that's a whole different story
slim stratus
have to wait and see exactly how it's handled, but I personally would allow modded content with a small caveat. you go to a seperate place to make dungeons with modded content, say in world " the Black market" and thats where you make and play modded dungeons, and it's all Steam workshop handled, so mod.io has nothing to do with it
worn rose
Perhaps, I hope that's a thing anyway, since the vision for Modding Support now is being clientside only xd.
But we'll see how it goes rip.

Why not to make just an option in the conditions of the bars to be colour-switched and just change the "base" colour, not the entire bars.
kind geyser
Why not to make just an option in the conditions of the bars to be colour-switch...
wait yeah couldn't it be another slot in the "Rotation direction" property? "Direction set by color"
it would still need some visual indication though
polar pewter
yep
