I found this idea on the Scripters subforum.
Basically, instead of only making unions by manually selecting the bricks and clicking union, we could have a script to union or negate things. Negate could be added to the properties of a brick as a bool value. Here would be an example:
game.Workspace.Part:Union(game.Workspace.Part2)
> So you find the part, then call an event 'Union' and in the parentheses you put the brick that you are unioning it with. This would allow for multiple bricks, and this below could work too:
for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
game.Workspace.Part:Union(v)
end
> That would union every brick in workspace together.
For negating things, we could do this:
game.Workspace.Part.Negate = true
Simple as that.
We would also need a method to separate it, so we could do this:
game.Workspace.Union1:Separate()
Simple as that.
Do you like this? If so, please post a support below! Any ideas to improve it? Post them!

improve idea:
use tables and services
in an union, there's no priority between part 1 and part 2 at all |
|

I love to script unions......
Anyways support! |

Sounds good, but "Negate" isn't a variable of "brick".
It should be :Negate() |

We need API's to do CSG operations with scripts! |

"Negate could be added to the properties of a brick as a bool value."
We would have it added. |

1/2 Support.
I would love to have that implemented, but there the lag would increase intensly... Especially if you made something like a gun make negating bullets which made holes in walls etc. But, it would be fun to experiment. Maybe, we could have it like DataStore. We would have a union limit. |

@power
Well, doing negates for bullets would mean that they look red in mid air and the first brick it touches would have to union to it. Unions really don't cause more lag though. |

@Dev
Most times these days we just have bullets be invisible so I don't think it would matter either way.
Also, a lot of guns use raycasting so the bullets being actual propelled objects may not even be considered up-to-date anymore. |

True but it'd be cool for a bullet to makes holes in buildings lol. |
|
|
OMG SUPPORT.
But it should be game.Workspace.Part:Union(game.Workspace.Part, game.Workspace.OtherPart)
And same with Negate and Seperate
Please take this model - http://web.roblox.com/Dead-dogicorn-item?id=202541510 |

The issue with doing separate that way would be that when you union something, it all goes into one 'Part' named 'Union', so it couldn't find individual part names and remove them from the union. Also, negate seems like it could easily be a property of a part since it only changes that individual part. You could just as easily set multiple part's negate property to true. |

Guns could realistically make holes in parts. |

kinda support, but with guns making holes can just destroy the entire place. |

@Tix,
true but what if the holes refilled after like 5 seconds? You could do this by separating and then deleting the bullet.

Using bullets to make holes is the dev's choice.

Support. I can already imagine the possible collision damage and crafting systems that could be made if this was added. |

--Manual Union
local Union = Instance.new("Union")
Union.C0 = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Part0")
Union.C1 = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Part1")
--You can add more, continuing like "Union.C2" etc.
--Simple Union
--Could be a rough sketch on how you could make a gun make holes
game.Workspace.Bullet.Touched:connect(function(other)
if other == "Part" then
game.Workspace.Bullet:Negate()
other:Union(game.Workspace.Bullet, other)
wait(5)
other:Seperate()
end)
--This would make lots of lag in the server, I would make this client sided.

Yeah I agree that is nice, but it would be 'if other.isA("Part") then' |
