Author Topic: Ice Bricks  (Read 1535 times)

This may already exist. If it does, please link it to me.

Almost every single video game has it. Ice. Slippery ice. Ice that you can slide on. Ice that if you walk on, and let go of the W button, will not make you suddenly stop, but will make you slide in the direction you were going until you lose the momentum. I'm sure if you ever played a Mario game you know what I mean.

I think this add-on would be very useful for people who are building platforming maps or simply ice maps. The add-on could be
- A brick that has those "ice properties"
- An event that determines which bricks have the "ice properties"
- An event using "ZoneEvents"
- A playertype designed to be slippery.

Acceleration should be hard to gain, but it should also be hard to stop the character once he started to walk. It needs to be very different from the standard way of walking in Blockland, which makes the character go from being completely idle to going at maximum speed in a fraction of a second.
If someone could please make this, it would be pretty awesome. :)

- A playertype designed to be slippery.

I like the idea but I'd like it to be adaptive to the playertype.
As in: if the playertype has jets, the slippery playertype should have jets too.
Also same health, speed properties, energy, ...

Which means making it change playertype may not be the way to go.

Maybe a small physical zone could be made on top of the brick?

Well, thanks a lot for the playertype! I didn't even know it existed
