Author Topic: Inverted Ramps  (Read 2517 times)

For those tight corners.

Imagine that youve just build a great blocko house, but want to put ramps on top as the roof, y'know, shingles. But then you realize that theres an inverted corner (from bird's eye view) and that you dont have inverted ramps to complete your
 roof. So its either leave a big crack in you roof because you have no bricks shaped well enough to fill it, or just plainly dont have a roof at all.

I would appreciate it very much if someone remedied this. Post if it's not clear enough.




Which it isnt.

I needed this yesterday! Someone please make this

Someone made this, but it was only for the 45o ramp.

OH GOD I MUST FIND IT

Ya well "Someone" should make it again for all degrees.

When I made the 45 degree inverted ramps, it was easy since there already was a 45 degree crest corner brick - which contains a section much like the 'inverted corner'. Making the same thing for 25 degree ramps would be hard (as the 25 degree crest corner is 2x2, not 3x3) and almost impossible for the taller ones. (to me, anyway, someone good at trigonometry and stuff can try it)

I think killerwhale ported it from v8 and it's on RTB.

I thought it was you.

And why would you need to know trig for the steeper ramps?

Face normals for the sloping parts so they show up correctly.

You also have to be able to make DTS collision models that work correctly. (Which I'm not very good at, I ended up with a collision cube instead of the proper ramp shape)

Ah, okay. You know way more about this than I do.

Yeah making inverted 45 degree angles is not impossible with the bricks blockland already has. You just need to look at how you could use the bricks in a new way.
(ie. Trees as towers)

But what if you needed to make something BEHIND that 45 degree crest?

The 45 degree inverted corner is extremely useful, but we need a 25 degree one badly.

Then just cover up that entire side and level it off.

Ok, about those screenshots, what brick is the one betwenn both lines of 45 degree 4x ramps?
This helps me out a lot that you said that.
