What would be neat is if instead of CanCollide=true/false, there can be something like CanCollide=0.5, and anything that goes over 0.5 (Density) will fall in, but anything under 0.5 will stay up, or float. I have been thinking about this for a long time, and it would be a great idea for Roblox, so there is no need for scripted water. Anyone in support?

@Hido You know transparency and reflectence? And when you set it, its on a scale of .1-1? Well, the OP is saying that a brick with .5 density will allow bricks to float on them, and bricks with density under .5 will, will make bricks that land on them sink. Hmmmm, I guess its a good idea.

EPICNESS Support :3 It would be easier to do boats that float and water that is water :3

This is one of the few good ideas I seen. Good job! The players would have to be under 0.5 density or else we can't swim. :D -Virtualdarks

I really hope that this becomes an official feature, I hate having scripts in a game just so I can float. Thanks for the feedback guys

BTW, this will finally make the Density value have a purpose >_<

Not terribly hard to script, but I do think it would be a neat idea :P Support.

Fire was scriptable, and they still made it. So why not this? -Virtualdarks

This might improve some of Roblox's physics, nice idea!

75% Support. 25% Non-support. Were are they going to put the density thing How are kids going to find out how to use it Overall, this is an EXELLENT idea.

@Pilot Everyone will get how to use it. Because the ones who don't, don't even know how to open properties.

We need this! ROBLOX with liquids would open a door that has been closed for who-knows-how-many years! The door could lead to MANY possibilities! It would be like a less blocky Mine craft. :D -Virtualdarks

Just saying, this wouldn't be EXACTLY water, just something more along the lines of Jello. Jello keeps its shape, but things can go in it. It wouldn't flow, but would sit there, not moving.

Correction - Adjustable jello that can become rocks? O.o

I know, just was hoping to implement a first form of "Passive/Resistant" objects, then Mine craft - like water. This would be the first step torwards that, because real water would need a rework of the physics engine.

@Robloxian1997 100% agreed. I love the screen-bobbing in Mine craft though. :3 And the water effect makes it fun to make rivers. -Virtualdarks
