Not to be confused with the pulsers we already have now; I just couldn't think of any other way to describe my idea.
A pulser would function similarly to TNT, but when they explode, the lava "ripples" out (sort of like rings) as opposed to the usual explosion-shaped pattern. Also, the ripples would only be on the same layer (height-wise) as the pulser, and maybe only one "wave" of ripples would appear at a time.
It would probably make more sense with an aerial-view diagram of at least the first two "rings":
R = block placed for the pulser
L = lava
A = air
...and so on. The amount of "ripples" might be upgradable, of course.
A pulser would have a longer horizontal range than TNT, which is the point, and possibly would initially "activate" faster (i.e. the first ring would appear after 1-2 seconds instead of 3).
In case this is too weak, a pulser could alternatively release all the rings at once, basically ending up with a square-type pattern, like:
Again, this would be sort of like TNT but with a better horizontal range and only a height of one. Or maybe this could be an upgrade to the first version?
Hopefully this makes at least some sense. xD
