Vulnerable creature brain and plasma

Archive: 5 posts


I'm tring to get a creature to be killed by touching it's leg on plasma. So I set the brain to vulnerable, waht a leg on it, then move the leg into plasma, using a piston. Should result in a nice plasma-y death.

It doesn't. Yesterday, in a separate experiment it did. Today it doesn't. I've barely used creature brains so I'm pretty sketchy on them and I just don't get this at all.


Edit. It's currently looking like moving one into the other using a piston, or even attaching a piece of string to them, stops the effect from happeneing, but I really don't understand exactly what the factors are Any thoughts?

If it worked yesterday, it's most likely something wrong on your part. Unless you weren't using the piston yesterday, in which case it could be a bug that makes it so that plasma balls with things attached to them don't have an effect on vulnerable creature brains. It sounds very specific though. Does the plasma ball on the piston still kill the player? Are they in the same layer?2009-08-23 01:54:00

What's the piston attached to? Remember... dark matter is indestructible.2009-08-23 03:08:00

I'd say axe the piston. Just fire the plasma ball from an emitter at the "creature's" over-sized leg.

Bingo, bango, bongo

Well here is the thing, I've tried various combinations of:

leg on piston, plasma ball held with Rod
leg on piston, plasma ball suspended in mid air
leg and brain on piston, plasma ball in mid air.... etc.

leg directly attached to same part as creature brain, plasma ball in mid air with something stuck to it to make it fall. This works.

It seems that as soon as a connector is involved, in any capacity, it doesn't work.

@comphy: ypu that was the solution I was heading towards. It's annoying because I'm working on an oversized version on the contraption to shrink it down later... and emitters don't play nice when you do that


RAAAAARRRRR Now even the test cases that did work, don't work and the emitted plasma ball doesn't work. This has to be the dumbest thing ever. I'm about read to give up unless someone actually understands this.



Re-edit - OK, so now if I attach a brain and a leg, and hit the brain with a hazard, it dies. Can someone please explain to me exactly how this whole vulnerability thing works....

Oh whoop-de-do. That doesn't work now. Great, I give up. This clearly isn't a feature that's stable so I'm just not gonna be using it.
