Stairs / Sloped floor possible?

[Mr Doraemon]

Hello. well, i always wondering if there are something that can connecting lower and higher layer of floor with some slopy floor, for example in case if you want to make stairs which connecting floor 1 (low layer) to floor 2 (high layer)? thanks.

Yeah sloped floors and stairs are more than possible ;)

There are two really easy methods to accomplish this, both however use the same collision box method.

#1 Create an external 3D mesh, then import them into 001. (IE make some stairs and import)

#2 Use 001's sequence editor to piece together flat planes into a 3D object.

Then for the collision box you would want to create a polygon collision and create the angled surface. Which would look like this http://prntscr.com/h2tmwk

It is best to avoid more complex shapes like the tiered shape of a set of stairs, not only for performance, but also it would require additional scripting to prevent getting stuck on each lip of the stair.

Hope this helps ;)

-Oh! forgot to mention, you dont have to make a 3d object, for something like the top down/45 view all you would have to do is lay down your stair/slope tile and create the col box since you dont actually see the sides of an object

thanks for explanation. but, what about horizontal stairs for 2d map? does the same apply to it? for example, to make character moving like he/she climbing stairs from 1st to 2nd floor.
