User:Mr. Fataled/Building Bricks
From Worms Knowledge Base
Building Bricks is a construction utility, that is to some extent a mixture of a Girder and a Blowtorch. After activating, your worms will start building a road out of bricks. With up and down arrows, you can change the direction, so worm will build stairs up or down. You can change direction at any moment. If your worms hits the ground, it will stop building.
You have 12 bricks, each of them will be 1/9 of the girder in length and 1/2 in width, so you can build a road 1/3 longer than a girder.
The advantages after girder are that your worm will move while building, so you can not afraid that it will be killed before you use your bridge, and that you can change direction at any moment, so you can create more complicated constructions. The disadvantages are that bricks are thinner, so you it will be easier to shoot through them, and that you cannot choose specific length, and there's also less control over the angle of building.
There's required some new code for this weapon. Movement and changing the direction are already exist in the Blowtorch code, but other code parts will be new. Additionaly, animation would require some work too: the moment at which worm places the brick and the moment at which it becomes a part of the ground must be synchronized.
