Are there any Agents that...?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right topic placey-thing but, I was wondering if there was an agent that allows the user to use MW room edits to actually CHANGE the length and shape of the boundaries (like, to change length or shape of floors/walls/ect.)? Because I'm using garden box, and I put a bridge over a pond of mine, but it's not technically a floor (just a decoration), so things fall through to the water anyways. I really would think that there would be an agent like this, but if there is, then I haven't heard of it. Lol.

Here's what I mean: http://prntscr.com/4qp0vt

If you know of an agent that does this, please inform me. Thank you. :D

You can change permeability with Magic Words, if you don't mind having to relocate your bridge a little. Changing the actual boundaries is less easy, though.

I know it can be done because a few agents, like the warp chamber in Docking Station, change the shape of the rooms (eg. when you open and close the door). But I've never been able to do it myself successfully, and unfortunately I don't know of any agents that will do it on the fly.

Changing the sizes of those is not that easy. AFAIK you can not just say "expand room X by 10 pixels" or something. You had to delete and redefine every involved room.

EDIT to answer Ghosthande: The warp chamber actually just changes the PERM of the boundary too. It also is an agent with an inventory which grabs all objects in that area.

Eeeghgh. Well, I hope somebody makes an agent that can successfully Edit the lines fully, by moving them around and such, not just editing the permeability alone. But thank you guys for the answers, I was just curious. :D

After looking at it again, you're right.
I swear I've seen something that does this, though. I wonder what it was...

How does the eggernator work in regards to that?

Eggernator 1 does not do anything at all. I's just a normal vehicle agent with a freezer function.

When you refer to Eggernator 2's minimize function: somewhere in the world it creates a tiny tiny metaroom, the size of it's chamber. Upon minimizing, the Eggernator 2 empties itself into said room. Upon returning to original size, it grabs the creatures again.
After creating that pseudo-metaroom once, it does not modify rooms anymore.
