Add this to an existing 3D game #10

Closed Gamemap closed 3 years ago

Gamemap commented 3 years ago

Hi,

this system is really cool, but how do I add it to an existing 3d game?

I have the background loader loaded automatically. Is that all or do I need to use BackgroundLoader.start(), etc. ? Do I need to change a layer / layer name ?

Thank you, Gamemap

P.S. It would also be nice if you could make a video of the installation for other users. (but you do not have to)

Hello, thank you for your interest!

First, you need to split your world into zones, and save each zone as a separate *.tscn file.

Then create a new scene, name it world and save it, and replicate the node structure you see in the demo.

Follow the instructions "Configure the player" and "Add a new zone" in the Github to add your zones.

I know this is a bit complicated, I will try to think of a way to communicate it better :)

Ok, thanks a lot.

Do I need to use BackgroundLoader.start(), etc. ? (or just autoload ?) ~~Do I need to change a layer / layer name ? ( zone_triggers ) If yes, which number ?~~ In the Demo it is the second layer.

Yogoda commented 3 years ago

The BackgroundLoaded background thread is started automatically in the zone_loader script, so no need to start it.

I've tested it (and really like it), but can you change the layer (zone_triggers) to the last one so it probably won't collide with other previously defined layers? (for other users it could become a problem)

It is working wounderfull ;) (I have only to rearrange my Player and World but that's ok for no loading screen) <3 <3 <3

This is a great suggestion, I updated the layer to use layer 16 instead, which should be free in most games.

Thanks!
