Terra Blocks: Terraria Styled Block Engine

[DerVVulfman]

Terra Blocks
Terraria Styled Block Engine
Version: 1.0
Based on RD12's April 2013 release

Introduction

This system is a sideview platform engine that lets the player eliminate and re-apply map tiles, similar to Minecraft or Terraria. It is a basic engine, not including any ABS-like battle system which Minecraft or Terraria uses. Nor does it allow the player to create operational event objects such as doors, furnaces, or other objects that can be triggered.

That would be up to the end-user.

The use of a Dynamic Maps script, a script that allows the recording of map conditions and settings is advised. Without such a script, any changes made by the player would not be saved when moving between maps or within recorded save games.


Features

• Actually DESTROY map tiles!
• Actually PLACE map tiles!
• Detects if the map is a Terra-Block map or normal map when teleporting

Requires

• Compatible mouse system that includes 'press' input
• Dynamic Maps script to record/save changes
