HA HA HELLO THIS IS A THING AGAIN!

Platformer Bricks
By Armageddon (Booster Model), Mr.No�ody (Bumper Models), and ottosparks (Coding; grind rail arrow lol)
gotta go fast AGAIN HA!

THESE WERE AWFUL SO I'M MAKING THEM LESS SO

Grind Rails
Rails for grinding! hop on and GO!!!

IMPROVEMENTS IN V2:

�Completely redone! The system works entirely differently and more efficiently!
�Rails are based upon velocity and can be of variable size (v1 required 1x1f bricks which was awful and unintuitive!)
�A cute little arrow appears to tell you about how the rail will move!
�Rail switching functions on look direction rather than movement direction!
�Rails can be more complex within a single brick, allowing for things like turns nice and smooth-like!
�Velocity-based rails means jumping from them feels more natural!
�THEY AREN'T COMPLETELY AWFUL HAHA!

Bumpers

(images of new models coming soon)

Bounce pads! Pretty self-explanatory; they bounce you places! They can also bounce you toward a specific location.

IMPROVEMENTS IN V2:

�a better model probably at some point!!
�Added control over standard bumper direction
�Added modes to either set or add velocity when hitting a bumper
�Bumpers are now completely event-driven; they plant with events by default rather than having built-in, rigid functionality.
�Target bumpers work a bit better in general
�Target bumpers' speed is adjustable by setting an amount of time for the path
�Orientation upon arrival after a target bumper is more versatile

Boosters

They boost you! Also pretty self-explanatory!

IMPROVEMENTS IN V2:

�MADE TO ACTUALLY WORK AS EXPECTED WOW!!
�Switched to new player movement speed methods
�SLIDERS!

PLANNED ADDITIONS

�Wall Jump Panels!
�Hang Rails?
�Arc-Bounce Pads? (like faith plates from portal 2??)

bumpers v2 wip

�Added control over standard bumper direction
�Added modes to either set or add velocity when hitting a bumper
�Bumpers are now completely event-driven; they plant with events by default rather than having built-in, rigid functionality.

also the github repository should have ""stable"" developer versions most of the time in case you want to play around with the incomplete v2 stuff and bugtest or w/e

sorry i've had a TON OF STUFF goin on suddenly and haven't had much time to work on this but v2 is nearly ready for release

expect a booster video within the next soon (i finished the new code for them in like fifteen minutes just now so gg just have to test)

after boosters are done i'm going to make some grind rail eventing hooks and whatnot and push out v2; things like wall jump panels will probably come in some kind of v3 release if i ever get a good plan goin
