Oh! and instead of copy and pasting zoom triggers (or any triggers in general) You can use the new warp tool to make the hitbox bigger.

heya, i was just wondering if you could make some sort of video about warps (Example would be going into a wall, having the screen fade to black from the right, and then it goes back to normal and you're in a different area) ive been searching for this for a long while now and i cant find what im looking for, it would be really helpful, thanks :)

[@darkbean1013]

[@kinimae5425]

Can we get a mini tutorial on one way platforms and pushable blocks? I haven’t been able to figure out how to do those yet and it would be really helpful!

[@absention390]

I have zero clue about pushable blocks either my friend

I have an idea how to do a pushable block... but I'm not sure if it will work. I will test it out today, and maybe will share a tutorial

[@aydenchalas1772]

⁠holy crap thank you I was about to give up on my platformer level because I couldn’t figure this out

[@scottnewmanfm]

How do i make the buttons like in the section of dash where you have to press them to raise the spikes or to get the coins at the end of the tower levels?

[@tionaus]

thank you absentionaus

[@DeeplyHollow]

ello I was wondering if you could make a video about what difficulty you think explorers is. (I know that explorers isn't out yet and it might be a dumb video idea but just a thought)

[@kitsilver9861]

I've been having trouble with the platform from The Cellar that sinks when you step on it, then raises when not. In the copyable version I can only find the collision state, and not the move trigger responsible

[@husnaniyazi]

You can create a loop with a butten and if you want to move 1 block add in y pos 10

[@LucienThePeacebringer]

How do you make an object keep moving? Like making a platform keep going up and down and up and down etc.?

[@rkdragon7249]

Set up 2 (or more) move triggers that make it move how you want (in a horizontal line). Then select them all, pause, and then click "Create Loop" on the top right of your screen. This will automatically make a spawn loop for whatever you have selected. The spawn loop that is placed at the top of everything else is the one that starts the loop, so you can place it anywhere, or even make it a touch/spawn trigger if you want it to start after the player does something special

How do you make something that shoots Projectiles?

[@alexejg2674]

How long should a plat level be?

[@kingspeedbaby.]

12:03 got me 😂

[@itisAuto]

how do you make it so that you need a certain amount of points to beat the level?

[@absention390]

Mark the end trigger as "Spawn Triggered". Then link the count triggers to the End Trigger. That way, when the game checks the points, if you have enough, it will trigger the End Trigger. However, that will cause you to get sucked in wherever you are in the map.
If you want it to be a touch trigger still (so it ends once you have enough coins AND once you have hit the end trigger) then make the count trigger linked to a toggle trigger, that will toggle on the End Trigger. Make sure to Toggle the End trigger off beforehand tho.

[@heiseberg4056]

Do you know how to make an infinite loop with move and rotate triggers? Ty in advance

[@absention390]

infinite loop of what I’m confused

[@heiseberg4056]

@@absention390 For example making an object rotate forever, or making objects move up and down.

[@absention390]

spawn triggers are best I think for creating infinite loops, and you could probably link those spawn triggers to checkpoints and other event triggers

[@heiseberg4056]

@@absention390 Thanks, I'll try later!

How do I do it in final dash I can't download 2.2 cuz its costs money and I have no PayPal

[@CheeseLordClone-wc9ns]

Do you know how to make a block that you can pass through from underneath and stand on

[@absention390]

place the block, select it, press “Edit Group” go to extra, check the “Passable” box I think

Can you publish the level?

im coming across a checkpoint bug where the player doesnt respawn at the checkpoint no matter what i do
even when i put a group in targetpos, it does nothing.
idk ill try restarting gd and seeing if that does anything if not i got nothin

nvm i had disable checkpoints on

Lol

[@Noobanimations285]

I could not make the platform that the checkpoint move for some reason

[@absention390]

Make it touch triggered + multi triggered. In the video I pointed out that the first setup would only make it trigger once. Either make it touch triggered and multi triggered, or make it so the group is triggered on respawn.

[@yoonsookkim2736]

Why my triiger working earlier even if I didn't touch trigger line?

[@LightSpeed22]

you need to make it a touch trigger for platformer mode

[@robotpotato7943]

Can someone help when I use 2 count triggers they add together

[@absention390]

make them spawn triggered instead or make them not instant count I’m not entirely sure what your issue is without anymore info

Teleport trigger to group ID of the object at the location you want to teleport to. Similar to how I showed using a Group ID to set the spawn location. do the same thing but with a teleport trigger instead.
