Eh hello and welcome so, i wanted to create a cool mini-game involving platforming. And then i came up with this: You guys know the conveyer belts from bunker... right? So my idea was actually to make sections of some cool platforming atached to eachother... Well they wouldn't really be atached to eachother, because my plan to emit those sections randomly. It'll be like one of those mini-games where you have to keep running 'n jumping, because there's gas behind you (and in front of you)..... Then constantly new sections keep coming from out of the gas in front of you. And it will contineu with new sections increasing in its difficulty and speed of the conveyer belt. And then the camera will be at 1 place being held still. Each section will be build up from a simple default block.... Here's an image, so you can see what i mean (hopefully) http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Yarbone/Customsections.jpg (omg, i officially hate paint now >.<) And i was thinking to actually make this some kind of group project, where everyone is making his own custom section... Although i do have to say that i have minimum experience at emmitting things in LBP, and i actually wouldn't really know how to emit those sections randomly, and super tight to eachother. So tell me what you think

Oooh great idea! It'll be tricky getting them to be randomly emitted though. I'd love to make a section.

To make them close together: Put a rocket on each one, hidden somewhere, and a mag swich that activates rocket. Have some keys in spawn area so rocket fires untill the 'cars' have slammed into each other. Randomising, have a few randomisers powering emmitters that spawn different types of cars IN THE SAME SPOT. farther FORWARD, and emergency emmitter, with no emmitter randomiser, to make sure that if other emmitters don't fire, it does.

But to activate the rocket you have to attach the wire to it... I heard there was a glitch about this where emitted objects with switches on them got 'unwired' So if anyone knows... About the randomizing... you really helped there DRT99 thanks. I know how to make it totally radom now btw if you have an emergency emitter... wouldn't that emitter produce the same block al the time? If so... then that'll be a section you see quite a lot of times then :/ or not...?

Don't worry about the emitter/switch bug, it was fixed in Edam.

Great idea you have there Yarbone, sounds like a pretty interesting idea for a level, and wanting others to create parts as well, sounds like the making of a great new level, will look forward to getting to play it....

Ok... I've already made a start. But... I hate it that those motorbolts make such a noise <__> I just wanted some cool music, without hearing that annoying sound I've got an idea though... I was thinking about making the bottom of each part really high, so you'll be far enough to not hear the motorbolts anymore. The idea wich DRT99 came up with (the rockets) are really helpfull... It really works great. I'm first gonna fine-tune everything... and then i'm gonna make it look fancy. I'm actually thinking of making it kinda like the style from the story level: "The Mines" So that would be red/brown rock and red sponge... And probably something like dark wood. Any other ideas or suggestions are appreciated Ofcourse if you guys want to make a section, just say so! And i still don't have a name... I'm open for ideas

I'm really looking forward to this And making it a group project can be really cool, i will probably enter then But there's one issue, and that's the fact that you (Yarbone) need to make people add sections in one theme. Because.. even though it's randomly emitted, it's still weird that you could go from a cave-like section right into a electrified factory setting. If you know what i mean. *sigh* now that i actually read your last post, you already did , but you haven't made it obligatory though. So... if you think it's no problem, then say that user-made sections don't need to have a certain theme. And if it does bother you, then tell them to use a predetermined theme.

Great idea, the template idea is really good worked a treat in InterCHECK, and afterwards, you can give the pre-build sections and the template as a gift so they can make their own if they want I look forward to this!

If i manage to survive this week of school, (especially tomorrow... darned presentations) i will have a lot more time Now i just stare at the screen, trying to write something about Lenin and Stalin while i see loads of people trying to compete for Survive This part 2 I want to kick but in Dorien's challenge.. but i can't :O Stupid school... Also.. please keep me informed Yarbone ;D I'm really looking forward to this project for two reasons. I love community based levels like Boss Rush and the level some creators are working on now ( The "Those who felt like it" one). And second because it's a minigame! And minigames rule. I do have a question though.. is it just a mini-game, or a survival challenge? Because then there would also need to be a difficulty increaser i guess.. How are you going to do that with "premade" obstacles? Are you just going to increase the conveyer belt's speed? And emit the sections faster.?

The speed of the conveyer belt will increas yeah... and all the parts will be emited when it's possible So the speed of emmitting depends one the speed of the conveyer belt... this makes it a survival challenge because you've got to collect as many bubbles as possible before you die.
