Level deformation in Cube2

Hello guys,

I'm curious about Cube2 capability of in-game level editing. I'm thinking about creating a gun that, depending on the left or right click of the mouse, puts or removes a BSP block on the level. Is that possible? Similar to minecraft, to be honest.

If you are thinking about modifying the map while playing, then it won't work at worst, and won't work well at best. This is because the lighting on the map is pre-calculated prior to loading, and changing level geometry will destroy the lightmaps. It will also wreak havoc with the geometry, too.

A better alternative might be to have the gun create a model (similar to the grenade or rocket) and have it drop the block directly in front of the player.

If you looked through the few recent threads, you would notice real-time-deformation is impossible (shoot a gun, bullet hits ground, ground makes hole)however in say co-op editing modes you may be able to, but it won't work in FFA or anything else, and you may as well just stick to flying around and editing.
