Hexal's particle spell lets you make arbitrary lines, which means with enough code you can make entire models appear out of thin air. Do note that these lines are made of particles and so more complex models won't appear completely when cast by hand. Use a wisp instead. For the model rotation functions I also used moreiotas.

model iota
The model iota is a nested list. The first element is a list of all the vectors in the model(the vertexes). the second element is a list with lists. Each innermost list has two numbers which represent the indices of the vectors in the first list(the edges). the display function display all the edges of the model.

incorporeal reflection

pushes an empty model iota

Code: Select all

Vacant Reflection

Single's Purification
Numerical Reflection: 2
Flock's Gambit
//[[],[[]]]

modelmaker trinket
This is a trinket hex.
It needs a sentinel as the origin for the model.
The model will be written to the offhand.
Select a first vector by looking at it, then the second and a new vertex is made, so a string of edges would need you to select the middle blocks twice. make sure you only have complete vertexes when doing operations on the model!
If you select the same vector for a different edge, it will assume you want the new edge to connect to the same vertex.

But models arent very interesting if you can't change them, so here are a few macros that let you change what the models look like when displayed:

move model
model, vec--> model
displaces the model by vec

Code: Select all

Prospector's Gambit

{
    Flock's Reflection

Bookkeeper's Gambit: v-
Numerical Reflection: 0
Jester's Gambit
Surgeon's Exaltation

rotate model
model, vec, num--> model
rotates the model along vec by num radians, with respect to the origin
keep in mind that vec need to be normalized to work like a normal rotation!

Code: Select all

as a final curiosity here is the triangle wave macro I used for making stick bugs. the full stickbug hex I leave as an exercise to the reader.

triangle wave
num --> num
base period of 4, amplitude of 1, oscillates about 0 and sqwave(0) = 1

Code: Select all

Numerical Reflection: 4
Modulus Distillation
Numerical Reflection: 2

And that's all for now! I'm either going to wait till 1.20 to keep going or code all the operations in lua so computercraft can do them.
