DamagingBlocks

Goal:

To allow modders to create blocks which cause damage to players upon physically touching them or destroy objects which land on the blocks (i.e. Lava or Cacti)

Usage:

The DamagingBlocks module uses a component and a system. For more information regarding components and systems, please check out https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/wiki/Entity-System-Architecture

Essentially, the custom block's prefab would have a DamagingBlockComponent attached and the DamageSystem would apply the damage or destroy the item.

DamagingBlockComponent

Defines the rate and amount of damage which would be inflicted on the player.

public class DamagingBlockComponent implements Component {
    public int timeBetweenDamage = 1000;        //The rate (value in milliseconds) at which the damage is inflicted
    public int blockDamage;                     //The damage the block inflicts to the player
}

DamageSystem

The DamageSystem is the code which applies the damage to players or destroys blocks if on DamagingBlocks.
