Vortex Blocks

[TwitchTheAussie]

Im confused as to what they are and what they do. Ive checked the Wiki and found nothing anybody going to enlighten me?

[Mr.Russ]

Ive been researching about vortex blocks recently, and i think i know a fair bit about it. Are you talking inline or full?

[TwitchTheAussie]

Both indulge my mind

[Mr.Russ]

well yeah do you have msn? if you do we could talk about it on there, it would be easier. If not ill just explain in here

[TwitchTheAussie]

You have an animation of an inline vortex block? Im interested as well.

[noname]

That's not inline, it's a normal one. An inline block does the same thing, but it's not in the T.

[Mr.Russ]

and it works better. as of the smaller vortex hole, there is less length for it to travel.

[TwitchTheAussie]

I lke the diagram its alright but not as helpful as Id like it to be

[noname]

Not true, Mr.Russ. The first inline vortexes used the full hole, exactly the same as the original. I started using a little over half a hole, and it seems to work better. What you said is true, but just saying, not a lot of vortex guns use the half hole (3 to be exact, your's, and 2 of mine).

[Mr.Russ]

I honestly did not know that. I thought inlines only had like 1/2 to 3/4 of the hole.

could you make a vortex out of a straight piece or does it have to be a "T" shaped?

[Mr.Russ]

You just need a straight piece of pipe.

yes this is the goal of an inline you take a half of an inch material, (e.g. plexiglass, acrilic) You just cut a hole for the vortex then a hole for the barrel and input, same concept as t-type.

P.S.
Im pretty sure noname has a guide in the how-to section
