Train Levels
Archive: 5 posts
| How can I go about making moving rails, similar to Death Rail (DefMunky666, sp?)? I've already thought about the trains; they'll be attached to dark matter via invisible rods and the wheels bolted, with horrible gas at each end if Sackpeople fall off. | 2009-12-11 17:17:00 Author: Grimdour  Posts: 142 |
| Quite a few train levels are actually illusions. It's the endless-level technique (I THINK Gilgamesh was the first to use it) - The train is sitting still, but the scenery is emitted onto a big conveyor system and moved to the left. So: Use a REALLY LONG piece of dark matter (or separate sections stuck together). Put wheels on it and set them to turn to the left quickly. Off-screen to the right use an emitter to emit the landscape onto the conveyor. Set the emitter timing to .1 and the # emitted to be the # that you need to roll off the left of the conveyor. The conveyor will move the scenery to the left, giving the illusion that the train is moving. The faster the wheels turn, the faster the scenery will move. | 2009-12-11 17:38:00 Author: CCubbage  Posts: 4430 |
Another tip: make the first few wheels in the conveyor faster than the others, so as to push the landscape piece firmly against the previously emitted one. | 2009-12-11 17:59:00 Author: comphermc  Posts: 5338 |
| Thanks, guys. This is more of a technical exercise for me, so until I think of a good idea to use the trains with, this will stay in my Moon. And before I forget, I'd like some feedback on this idea; since I'm attaching the cabins to overhead dark matter, I was thinking of attaching the rods to dissolve which is glued to dark matter. Then when the player jumps off the caboose, the dissolve goes, the emitter stops, and the rail wheels stop. Then the track will stay, the train will be whisked out of view and the adventure continues. I won't do it, just a pipe dream for now. First I need to do the moving rails. | 2009-12-11 18:23:00 Author: Grimdour Posts: 142 |
| Just ask TSFRJ on all things train. He can NOT get enough of trains. | 2009-12-12 01:25:00 Author: BasketSnake  Posts: 2391 |
