Top-Down Level Camera?

Archive: 6 posts


So After I Finish Gravity Sack (a level im making) Im hoping on making a top-down level. I want one of those top-down cameras with infinite layers like in: The Fist Of Craft Earth. Any ideas on where to get those so i'm ready? (NOT THAT 3D CAMERA FROM BEHIND SACKBOY!!!) 2011-03-04 15:38:00

Uhm, you don't need a special camera to do a top down level, Fist of Craft Earth (im 99% sure anyway) is built on a normal level with no glitchy cameras involved. You make the back thin layer your ground and build up from there. Takes some getting used to but its really simple.2011-03-04 18:50:00

The top down effect is an illusion. Just draw the level as if it's from a bird's eye view, with the backmost layer being the ground and replacing front-depth with theoretical height.2011-03-04 18:52:00

Im not getting this, Does it have infinite layers, or what?
EDIT: Oh I get it, but how do you make your controlinnated object move upwards ? Movers and anti-gravity tweakers ?

Yep, mover and antigravity, just like you would with any vehicle. You will probably want to go with an advanced mover to let you go in all directions, and depending on your type of top down game, in-out movers for jumping too.
