As a player and host, I sometimes feel like NPCs should be impacted by the gravity NPC the same way players are. A placed or thrown bomb should immediately drop if not supported by a blocking tile. Having the option to even toggle this during events could make stage building a lot more interesting.

Nope.

Would be nice as an option. But it probably would require lots of scripting?

I wouldn't think so, unless we wanted bombs to behave exactly like people. I think just having them fall when they're place or when they land after they're thrown would be good enough, and that would be as simple as a wall check.

The issue here is that bombs (and the placement of their explosions) are Serverside, whereas movement / wall detection etc is Clientside.

Prior to the wipe I made fully Clientside bombs where this would have been "achievable", but they didn't work very well for a host of reasons.

but if bombs reacted to gravity, you couldn't use them as stepping stones

That is why it should've been an additional option, not default.

I originally envisioned this as an option for Fort Builder. I was thinking of making Plinko style levels where a person from the top of the level would drop bombs down onto players below. When a player below was killed, they would get the option to go on top and help rain bombs.

It might just be that this deserves an event of it's own with a custom bomb.

Your plinko idea could work with people shooting arrows, and just make the blocks destroyable with arrows

Less plinko more space invader

Instead of making something custom like that, just make it so that Fireblast is enabled instead of some fancy arrow.  I'm pretty sure Fireblast is working in it's current state.
