I have a few ideas but I want to know if there possible:
1: Make a construct that can float stuff. 2: Make construct glue (A construct that objects stick to). 3: Make a construct wall. (A physical wall) 4: A constuct that you can look into and it will show you a place. (Scrying)
I have more, but my other ones are more outragous. If these aren't possible, then what are some cool uses of programming. (Or practical for that matter!)
Some general examples I hear are stuff like "Have it follow your dog" or "Have it sit there" If you can't make it make sounds, or make it visible. What are the uses?

Respected Member I will deflate your theories and claims with ye olde pointy stick of logic.

1) it's called a force bubble, I've not heard of anyone making one that's actually floated anything. 2) again force bubble there's plenty of ways for making other constructs stick to constructs, but I've not heard of even Rainsong pulling off glue. (Note: Rainsong has been doing this a very long time and is the strongest I've heard of at TK.) 3) See above 2 answers, only harder. 4) this is called remote viewing and is a separate skill.
Psiballs are a basic practicing tool. Shields are a form of construct. Also some people find it easier to program a construct with something they want another psion to inspect (such as a signature or new structure) Rather than project it directly or construct a 'full' version of the application. You can, by means of other psionic skills, program the ability to report back to you into the psiball. Healing and shields are my primary uses for constructs, things like having it follow your dog or send one to a friend and have them try and locate it are good ways to practice both scanning and construct creation in ways that are unlikely to get negative reactions from any psions in the construct's vicinity.

psionlinebb.proboards100.com/index.cgi?action=search <<< A good place on information on uses of constructs. Otherwise, you can always find the link on top of almost any forum page. Just want to mention (if DA has not done that yet) that to pull off any force bubbles requires lots of energy and great TK skill.

Are force bubbles actually PHYSICAL? So non psi things can stick? Like you can throw a ball (NOT a psiball!) At it and it will bounce back. Im sorry if I'm posting too much questions... I've only started psionics last wednesday...

They're not really physical object, rather they can cause physical effects. Simulating a physical object isn't that difficult, just have something that exerts force in response to having force exerted on it. Beyond the cosmetic appearance as showing up as a tangible object, that's all a basic physical object is. So, since a force bubble can exert force, it can kind of mimic of a physical object if programed right. Although you probably won't be able to see it Flaring + PK would be an ungodly energy drain, I sincerely doubt both could be sustained a the same time.

A force ball is a psiball + psychokinesis. You take some time to program psychokinesis such as "push outwards" into it, and it'll make like a outward force emitting from it. This however requires energy from some kind of source. Hopefully not from you, because if you wanted to do something such as block something, that would require enormous banks of energy.

Yes. I agree with everyone else. All I'd like to add is about #3.
A physical wall would be hard to make. (Making a wall that would actually stop something). You can make something small (maybe a few inches/centimeters across) that will provide some resistance pretty easily. That's the basic forcebubble. It wont do much, but be cool.
Also, on #4: I have made a pair of "twin" construct that are linked together. One acts as a camera and the other acts as a monitor. You put one construct wherever, and then "look" through the other one.
You have to be able to RV at some level. You just RV the monitor and it shows what's going on around the camera.
I haven't used this method much, because it is more work than just RVing the place, but I did use it when I had trouble focusing. I'd use the other construct as a "dock" for me, so that I could stay in place (rather than drifting away, or something like that)

Well, I think there is an easier way, though still not practical, it might be easier. If you create a force bubble, which actually diverts light. Diverting light will result into something more physical. Or at least make it a better imitation . Now, how easy it is is arguable, due to the fact that we do NOT know what light is (might be photons, yet again this is another theory of science).

I don't think that it would be all that hard to make a force bubble that bent light in some way.
Specifying the way is where it gets more complicated.

Also, due to it's speed, while you can bend light, it's hard to do it on a scale you'll notice (it's moving really fast, so it might bend a little but the curve would be huge and still seem straight from our perspective).

Thanks for clarifying that innerfire. I really had not put too much research and thought into bending light with TK . I don't want to get off topic...
