Making loops/twists

[kimandronnie]

I am doing the tutorials and still can't figure out how make a loop or twist. I push the 2 and the shift and use th mouse button and still have problems. Someone please help

it's a little bit tricky at the start, since the coaster builder doesn't know that you want to build a loop or corkscrew for example.

to build a loop, rise a straight stretch of track with shift-1 and then pitch it with shift-4 into a vertical piece. then continue, rise again (shift-1) and pitch even further (shift-4) to continue horizontally and overhead. the way back down is then the steps above the other way round.

to build twists or corksrews you have to do rise the track and then twist (shift-2) and yaw (shift-3) it into an appropriate position.

it can be quite fiddly some times to build such elements since the coaster builder sometimes "freaks out"... definetely use the grid to have better orientation.
and at first just build some rough and sketchy stuff. it's easier to fine tune it after the hole thing is built.

hope this helps

This is easy stuff. Making loops and twist's is just so easy in this game.
In one of my tutorials, I can't remember which one to be honest, (could be the Hypercoaster one as that coaster doas not have a set loop piece) I actually show people how to make their own loop.
