Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

Had a REALLY good idea for a game recently, and sandbox is PERFECT for it in so many ways, but there is a few things that I think would be impossible. I'd like to be proven wrong tho

Is there any known way to fly in a game, like in edit mode?

Can you occupy the body of another character? For example, say you walk up to a character and a gui appears above his head, and there is a button that says occupy, then you get to walk around as that character for a while...?

There are other things but those are some of the main ones

Thanks,
Owen.

Questions:
1. Can you use the flying ability (edit mode) in games?
2. Can you change the player models to some other models during games (and leave your own behind)

Answers:
1. Of course you can, but you have to code that, or you can copy the flying code of edit mode and paste it as movement and destroy the main movement (but I don't know how =P)
2. This is pretty hard, idk if it's poss

Well, good luck anyways

There's a way to simulate flying, but no actual way to make someone/something fly.
Here's how I do it:
I'll change the gravity from 100 (normal) to 10 (lowest). Then I'll change the character's jumpvel(ocity) from 100 to 1000 (highest). This allows the character to float down slowly, somewhat simulating flying. Occasionally I'll combine this with movespeed to make them "fly" faster (movespeed is changed from 100 to 1000).
You can add triggers to do this when a character accesses an area by adding a level trigger that responds to this code: I'm pretty sure the code should work like that...

Yea I know that, i just wish you could actually put gravity to 0

you can use water and edit the textures of it?

I dont want it to look like im underwater, what do you mean edit the textures of it - how would that help?

Thanks
Owen.

well, if you make the water look like air (so change the colors), maybe you can use that than? (but you still go down while in water, and you've 2 delete the jump action in water than 2

In RPG mode it is technically possible to do a pollymorph with a spell, but that's only if the pollymorph is actually there. Which, if I remember correctly, Hirato said wasn't fully functional yet.

That's something for the 2.7 wishlist.
