Replacing the Hammer

Hey, I was playing with some legos yesterday and had the idea of removing the hammer and replacing it with the lego brick remover. We only really need a model, if anyone is up for it. I'm not sure if the ldraw parts library contains a brick remover.

Wouldn't that be a big and unwieldy in the hands of a 1.5 inch figure? And since we have an editor gun, do we really need the hammer at all anymore?

The original hammer was actually a mallet, so we could use the real hammer. It should be on LDraw's part list.

The question still remains as to what, precisely, we need the hammer for.

To quickly destroy things Razz

I could see it being used for minecraftesk random levels if we can get the brick count up that high.

Also I'm sure we can come up with a use for the brick remover, maybe a master hand like bad guy or boss for some game mode that a modder may come up with.

Actually The Orange Block had a minecraft-like brick mining mechanic with melee weapons before there was even a minecraft.

Before there was infiniminer, there was legos.

By the way, if we have a hammer, what for is the magic wand then?

We really shouldn't have separate tools. The hammer should just use proper permissions.

The way the wand worked, if you hit a brick on the ground, and there were no other bricks linking the model with the ground, the whole thing would collapse. I'm not sure if you could do that with TBM models built with totally open positions and rotations however...

Well instead of the bricks just exploding, they could collapse with a physics effect, but yeah, it's just ginger anyway.
