Post subject: Negative settings.

I was wondering just how many different things can be set negative to get a different effect (i.e. Afterburners, turret speed{every ship that get's on makes the turret go FASTER}, negative wormhole speeds can push you away, etc etc etc)?

TIA

Im almost sure wormholes cant be negative.
But it would make drs hypertunnels so cool

basically all that can be set to negative are repels, (bomb, bullet, repel, ship, aft, turret) speed settings.

Even though not on topic, breakables tiles would be awesome

Yes, the are not possible, not with - numbers, not with overflow errors.

Spawn a few flags on top of the tiles

, but ya, repeatable would be nice.

Putting neg numbers for bomb speed and bullet speed makes a fun ship. Especialy if there is lots of recoil with the bomb.

shamsh into a wall and end up shocked by your own emp. either that or you can dish out wimpy bombs with negaitive bomb thrust (instant speed boost)

Just try negatives in each set and see what happens.

Not every ship, that only gets counted once

Well, I geuss I didn't mean wormhole, but I think that's what it was. I had a zone where I toyed with the wormhole settings, maybe gravity too, and sooner or later I wound up with the wormholes not letting me get near them, or get away after that. You couldn't rocket in either. You'd get maybe a tile or two closer, but then it was like hitting a wall, but with no bouncefactor. I think it was probably gravity on the ships, but the gravity never effected them until they were say, 30 tiles or so from the wormhole, and then it started slowing them down.

Thats easy to do, grab a flag, and set the wormhole's additional speed to 60000.

I belive a negative(or overflowing) additional speed is what you want to get that. Happened to me once too.

Ya, i know that 60000 will do it, i never really experimented to find what else made it break, as I wanted to fix it.
