Items [IDEA] Hoik wand

[ED209]

As building hoik rails can be very tedious, especially big ones, I thought it might be nice to have a wand/rod that you could run over the blocks and convert them into the type of sloped block you wanted.

The slope type could be chosen in a similar fashion to wire colour on the grand design.

It could also be handy as it wouldn't accidentally remove background walls like a hammer does.

Let me know what you think.

This would be a wonderful edition whether or not it's used for hoiks.

That sounds pretty convenient, although I dont think the devs would be too happy about making a glitch easier to manipulate

Eh, if they cared that much, then they would have fixed the glitch instead of allowing it to remain.

I think the 'glitch' is a side effect of how the movement works, which would require a rewrite of the code, certainly too hard just to fix a well liked glitch. I could be wrong though, this is going off of some vague memory from a year or so back.

And while I don't really care for hoiks, too much space when I can spend less time (unless you count the AFK money farm) with a teleporter system (unless it's long distance, then I use rails, so I suppose I could use hoiks there), I do sometimes have a lot of blocks to slope, and if it had a long range like the Grand Design it would forever earn a place in my hotbar (I bet it would replace my Cell Phone).
Or we could combine the two and get the Great Grand Design, or something.

I could rename it to the "sloped block wand".

That's a good idea, I was just thinking of hammer range.
