'Preview'

Just thought it was slightly interesting, so i'd post it here.

[14:08] <@Tiy> we have like
[14:08] <@Tiy> object previews in the game right
[14:08] <@Tiy> so when you select say.. a table, and mouse over a spot it can fit in
[14:08] <@Tiy> it appears
[14:08] <@Tiy> faded out
[14:08] <@Tiy> ghosted objects
[14:09] <@Tiy> and so I have this thing of placing my cursor behind the player and running along a flat surface
[14:09] <@Tiy> so it looks like my player is being chased by a table
[14:09] <@mollygos> pfffft
[14:09] <@Tiy> it amuses me
[14:09] <@Marketh> lol
[14:09] <x-adam1234-x> lol
[14:09] <Dtb290> Haha xD
[14:09] <x-adam1234-x> inspiration of a table mob
[14:09] <@Tiy> the table's coming noooooo

 

COME AT ME BRO

On topic - that sounds very useful for looking at placement. I remember in Terraria I would sometimes have to constantly place something, look at, move it, look at it again, etc...

 

I hope other people can see the "ghost" too. 1: So they can see you placing something where they are and move(maybe only needed if theres a lot of people in one place). 2: So you can chase other people .

 

Simply mentioning the cursor alone makes me stare at my avi for 20 minutes

I do wish that there are place-able missile decorations- combine that with your epic sound effects; pshhhhheooooowwwwwwwhhooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeoooommmmmmmmmmpow

 

are you in love with the cursor?

ot: might be fun if someone lifts a table and you go sit on it. but then again he/she could throw you with the table in a dangerous liquid (lava or something)

 

That's an idea, maybe you should be able to carry objects.
Memories from watching the 300 have told me that if this was implemented, someone would be carried atop a mobile monument.

 

Carry....things....... OH MY GOD THAT IS F***ING BRILLIANT!

 

Not in the inventory, but such as on top of you, lifting things and manually carrying them :U
I was always disappointed that I couldn't do that in some of my sandbox games, especially in multiplayer.
Drive, human cows, drive!

 

Don't you think that would get confusing though? It's client side only.

 

I guess it depends whether or not Tiy wants someone else to chase him with a table, or to keep doing it himself. =P

 

Sounds good to me! It#ll make it a lot easier to place everything exactly where you want it instead of accidentally placing it incorrectly and then having to move it.

 

Three people trying to place tables in the same room.....
If they all see the ghosts, it's confusing. I see what you mean, Entity.

 

how lovely, this will make decor easier.

 

LoL that makes me chuckle hard. :whistle:

 

It could be handy tool for modding if that is implemented. I think its a really cool idea.

 

So, music from homestuck. Gameplay mechanics like the game in homestuck. I THINK THIS GAME IS GONNA BE SPURB!

 

i agree

 

Did someone say Ghost?! o3o Meghosta! Also Tablemonsters FTW.

 

yeah, would be a new sort of mimic monster

 

Well, I know what I'll be doing for the first twenty minutes of Starbound gameplay.​
