Condensation Technique

[astraelis7]

*I DID SEARCH FOR THIS IDEA ELSEWHERE = DID NOT FIND SEPARATE THREAD WITH THIS NAME*

This idea has cropped up with various waterbending move threads but I couldn't find a separate thread on it (with this name - which is the wiki term). I'm not saying my current version is perfect - it's more to open a discussion and get input.

A separate ability could be made so that, when click shift, 1 water bottle will fill up without a source.

I personally don't think this is particularly OP. I limited it to water bottles for practicality. This technique is shown various times in the show - particularly by Hama as I'm sure you all know. It could perhaps have a long cool down and/or only work during rain. Perhaps you have to wait a while for the bottle to fill up (but this charge time is reduced in rain). I hope you get the general idea - please post your own variations and suggestions This would bring a great aspect to waterbending - particularly pvp on land I think...

This makes perfect sense, I really like this idea!

 

[Gahshunk]

It could be like cooking with heat control in terms of time intervals holding shift. I like this.

 

[astraelis7]

Yes I had another idea on my way to school similar to Gahshunk's where the skill is passive (i.e. hold shift on any slot) but the slot must have an empty bottle for it to fill up :3 Does that make sense?

Personally, to stop waterbenders being able to just have water sources everywhere (which kinda breaks down the limits of the element, which are there for a reason), I'd have it in a state where they can use this in rain ONLY. Besides that, great idea

Orion stated a while ago that you can't properly implement such a thing, because measuring if it rains on a block is very unreliable. You'd be able to fill bottles underground in a cave, whilst it is raining outside.

Hmmmm, true...

Who waterbends in a cave?

Who waterbends in a cave?

People who play minecraft. OH WAIT!! That's right, that's what this plugin is for, the game about mining and crafting.

That came across as rude but, you get the point :>

 

[TheOneAndOnlyApple]

Cross made the waterbending in a cave example to show the unreliable ways of identifying if a player is in a rain block animation. As Vidcom said, the player would need to do this in rain, so being able to fill up your bottle without rain inside a cave while it is raining outside would be unpractical.

Why not make it so you can only collect water from certain biomes?

Why not make it so you can only collect water from certain biomes?

Or check if any blocks are above you blocking the rain.

I suppose that could be done but that would be a complete pain to walk around to find that one right biome just cause you got stuck in a desert for a bit

I'm fairly sure that if this could be done, we'd have implemented rainbending by now :c

Don't forget that there are water sources in deserts (The bushes and cacti), you just wouldn't be able to pull water out of the air in the desert.

We COULD make it with elevations. Like you cannot use this move below y:60 or something like that. I know that some biomes will go way over that and you could bend underground, but that would be closer to the only above ground thing.

I think this ability should only work in the rain, so that waterbenders can't just bend water out of no where in the desert.

I'm not trying to be rude, but condensation is using when it's RAINING.

In your thread, you said, "and/or when it's raining" I'm just adding on to that...

Actually, in the series and in Physics, condensation (of water) is from water vapour in the air to liquid water ; not when it's raining. I just added that for practicality and not to make it OP

Yeah, but condensation will be way too OP, maybe have only few moves allow the technique without needing a bottle.
