To answer 1 from a game dev standpoint: Terraria uses continuous collision detection, as opposed to discrete. This makes it so, on top of checking if the space you are going to occupy the next frame is free, it also checks if there are any solid blocks along the way to that location. If there are, you won't get moved to the other side of the wall but instead stop right before it.
That's a really understandable answer to the question; I just assumed that it would use a collision check similar to that of, say, Super Mario 64 where collision checks only see if the coordinate the player will occupy on the next gametick is a valid tile.
@@thatgi3817 continuous collision detection is somewhat more computationally expensive, which makes it much more common in newer games than older ones. It's also what absolutely needs to be used for very fast moving things, such as bullet projectiles in games that use actual projectiles and not just hitscan. This includes all guns in Terraria.
Well, idk what sorta detection they use for world borders, but when moving fast enough you can exiy the left or right borders of the world which is kinda cool.
isnt it the same as in windows in shooters? like the window lets you see through the the code has to go back where the bullet came from to figure out if it penetrated any windows or even doors
I really thought you can pass through blocks, since with inner tube and portal gun you can reach so much speed, that you somehow pass through the ceiling of the speed-up chamber
I was gonna say this too, I think it’s just a matter of speed. I don’t know of any other way to go that fast so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not able to be done any other way
i'd personally enjoy this as an occasional series. kinda hate the concept of shorts in general (and didn't even know you'd made any lol), so it'd be nice to get a compilation like this whenever you think you've got enough random tidbits to add to one.
In older versions (particularly mobile) it was possible to use a jetpack to launch yourself through a one block thick ceiling. I know because I designed my house around it as a kid.
I'm pretty sure it's possible to get through the block. But in a very specific condition. If you modify the speed of the minecart in multiplayer you can fly through the blocks if they do not have time to load. P.s you need to be mid flight to do that.
Personally I like this a lot more than shorts. Just five small fun questions answered in a short and quick vid. If you got other small time ideas this I wouldn't mind more of these 5 questions videos.
Btw, wdym by "start with a miner build"? Do you use that one mod that allows you to change what you start with, do you give yourself stuff at the start, or do you just mean you focus on mining stuff/getting mining gear at the start?
@@venomousslime6797 First thing I do is make an underground farm to grind mining gear and bone pickaxe, find an ancient chisel, and make mining potions/get the slice of cake buff
I actually found the answer to question 1 on accident using a large tower of water, the pool floaty ring thing, and the Portal gun. I went straight through the top of the tower.
Mining speed boosts are hard capped at 70%, because of that it is probably safer to use more protective gear, as great as 30% is towards that cap 6 defense is not very great.
I don't watch shorts (they hurt my brain and my eyes and my ears), so thank you sincerely for putting this into a full video. Some of these (like the mining range) I had asked, but not tested properly; others (like the piercing of luminite bullets) never entered my brain, but all of it was interesting. Maybe we could see some more Grabbler-esque "too short/boring for its own video" content down the line?
did it possible to vent through block moving fast enough? yeah, remember infinity damage machine through water, inner tube, lance and bunch of teleports (above this machine is alotta block which provide you to do not accelerate out of machine)
Hey Terrasteel, I have a question. Can the same results for question 5 be reached using the nightmare pickaxe with the same buffs?(And the mining armour set, i grinded for it and added it in armour group 2) Because if so I guess I discovered that answer without realising it... Cool video dude.
No. The Nightmare Pickaxe has a tool speed of 15, reduced to 12 with the Light Reforge. With a maximum 70% mining speed boost, this is reduced to a tool speed of 3 (20 strikes per second).
They're definitely better here, many people (granted, sample size of 1) don't care for shorts because of the UI. I wouldn't know these things if you released this as 5 shorts.
i passed this video up on my recommended about 3 times until i finally gave in, and it was so worth it. the thumbnail made it seem really unappealing for whatever reason
1:25 I assume they draw a line between positions that has the ability to collide with blocks and use that to see where you collided. 2:50 show us the unedited script please 5:01 rockets have the most range though
I'd assume terraria handles collisions with a sort of hitbox smear behavior where if you're moving really fast and creating a large disposition every tick it's checking everywhere between where your hitbox was and will be to calculate the collisions... that's not worded well but I'm just assuming anyways so whatever.
phasing through block is possible but i dont know if its because of a mod or old version of terraria. in 1.1.2 when i was playing The Story of Red Cloud mod, at the end of the game there was a beam weapon that was pushing you the opposite way of shooting at the very high speeds and could cause you to phase into mountain and get stuck.
I've got one although the answer is quite obvious and less about terraria but, you'll see..... It is: why does basically every terraria video have the glowing mushroom biome, regular OR otherworld, soundtrack in it? 😂 The answer, becasue they're the best soundtracks in the game lol
cant the max mining speed be even higher using other accessories that boosts melee speed like the feral claws and other accessories reforged to violent?
No, that doesn’t affect swing speed. It halves the swings needed to break blocks - this means the Bone Pickaxe would take one hit to break stone instead of two, but the mining speed in strikes per second is unaffected.
It's possible to phase through blocks, and you need to be moving fast (Hermes Boots only), but also need a slope or one-block gap. You can fall through a 1-block wide gap if you run into a wall while holding S.
@Terraw does moving fast enough to clip through a block only work vertically? In mappygaming's first video showcasing innertube plus lance, he clips through the block his portal is placed on while only moving at 270mph
I still got ejected through blocks by mappy's railgun, can you explain how? I am pretty curious why did that work like that, thank you! Edited : It has not much range, I am guessing that might be teleporter doing something? In the same condition, I got blocked with 5000mph, but go through blocks with 6000+ mph🤔
how do i increase maxinum screen size in mobile terraria related to resolution (oh boy phone managing stuff, its near impossible to have an answer not being "you press zoom out button" but increase maxinum zoom.)
