How do you create a top down game feel so natural like the yeti one in the main game?

Archive: 8 posts


I am an experienced top-down creator from LBP2/Vita, but in LBP3, there is a way to make top-down games that much more interesting with the rotator tools. However, i am struggling to make my characters control like the Yeti did in the main game. The Yeti's movements, jumps, etc were completely natural whereas my traditional methods of top-down creation do not seem to be recreating that feel.....

So how do you get them to jump, hover on air (the fan contraptions in the main Yeti level), etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, i had a look there, but it looked like it was help for in-game glitches.

Thought here would be better as i am looking for a tutorial.

I wondered the same thing.

I imagine a lot of the magic happens with the advanced in/out mover to give the effect that gravity is pulling into the screen. I wonder if, for instance, you press X to jump and a countdown timer activates the in/out mover so you move to the front layer with a decreasing speed (the illusion of jumping up). At the top of this motion another timer would reverse the in/out mover.

You would need some impact sensors and tags to know if the player was touching the "floor" (a vertical piece of material) or not and when it had reached it's apex. The speed sensor now has in/out sensing abilities so that would be useful.

I might have to puzzle this out for myself later

@ GRIBBLEGRUNGER - Are you a site police or something? This website is almost too strict to be fun. Even the users are policing?2014-11-30 23:43:00

No, just trying to help keep it tidy in here. If I hadn't said something, someone else would have. This is for tutorials only and the help section is for asking for help with anything pertaining to the game. Unfortunately, because of the ongoing problems, the help section isn't looking like it should at the moment, but once it's sorted, all you'll see is people asking for help along these lines.
