I think ROBLOX should make a new object called a "G-Zone". A GZ would be a changeable point of gravity in your place.

Your place would have a default GZ called "Global G-Zone" or something along those lines. If you deleted the Global G-Zone you're place would have no gravity.

A normal GZ would be placed in your place to make a small point of gravity, an example of a use for this would be in a planet. A GZ has set able radius of gravity, and a settable force of gravity. An example, you want to create a moon, but you want it to have low gravity, yet you want it to have a large radius of gravity, you set the level of gravity, and the radius to create it. As you get further away from the object with the GZ the gravity gets weaker, even if you set a large radius (unless set to a GGZ, in which case you cannot set the radius).

An example of an amazing use for this would be realistic planets. I will attempt to explain:

You remove the default GGZ to get zero gravity. Then you create planets of differing sizes, the biggest one (the sun) has an extremely high amount of gravity, and a large radius. You then create planets around that, on the edge of the GZ, with their own GZ. To simulate orbits, you give the planets a nudge using a script or something, and the ROBLOX physics should, in theory, take it from there, simulating a real solar system. If you were to knock a planet out of orbit then things would get interesting.

This would be an amazing tool for space themed games.

I'm sure I have not talked about all things this needs, and I'm sure I have not talked about all of it's uses, so feel free to add and support.

Tell me what you think.

Can be scripted.

"Can be scripted."

First of all, practically everything can be scripted. Second of all, from what I've seen those scripts aren't very effective (however, that's from what I've seen).

Zukaro,
Not effective?
Then re-script it more accurately so that it's more effective.

I don't know how to script yet (I do plan to learn however).

Anyways; as for the idea, it's not about whether or not it's scriptable. Car seats for example are scriptable but ROBLOX made them anyways. The point of this suggestion is to add another tool to ROBLOX.

Zukaro,
I would say it's still unnecessary.
The majority of players don't care about gravity. They're fine with the current settings.

The point of this is so people can make more realistic space games. And I'm sure that if this was added people would use it.

The reason I suggested this is because I think it'd be a nice feature to have.

Zukaro,
You see, that's the thing.
The majority of people don't make space games.
The minority of people who do, can learn how to script. Or use the Free Models.

Not to mention, every update costs ROBLOX a lot of money.

Script it yourself if you think that way.

Anyway,
I have an Add to this suggestion:

Epic? I've heard others use it.
It's a saying,
You need help.
