Map Editor FAQ. (For all Map Editor Questions!)

dont think it will be listend because it has 18 sites but if you are a newbie with map editor and want yours fixed or rated before posting you can also tell me
i dont think THATS illegal

what?

I wouldn't look for such explanation of something like that, but since normal restitution is multiplying factor for the momentum of an object on the contact with the ground with respect to it's angle and direction object is approaching, invalid is probably altering the direction or/and angle.

I'll answer your first question, but I won't answer your second

Simply, because the restitution is invalid, Box2D (the physics engine) ignores all restitution values. It will just keep the block in the same place; however, even when in contact w/ another ground, it will be affected by forces such as gravity and it will maintain a constant speed w/o outside forces.

I'll just give you an example of this... (a possibility of invalid res)
A Dynamic Invalid Res block, given speed, will simply keep pushing away another dynamic block. This is because they're dynamic, and the invalid res block will keep the same speed upon contact.

(You can use this method to reverse shaman kill maps... Don't try it, cuz I got it perma'd already)

Btw, NEGATIVE res has different effects. Invalid Res will cause automatic phasing... Negative is a bit different. (which i will not explain)

Cool Now I Know How To Export A Map Thx!

Thank you Oaix. I think I'll start to experiment a bit more with invalid restitution.

how do you make a red anchored ground that when you touch it dissapears?(Without all the red anchors dissapearing)

How can i hide the anchor behind the object (dynamic ground)?

Activate no-b after the map starts. Simply place a dynamic ground anchored w/ a b-anchor. Then, have a dynamic IF ground drop on it 1-3 seconds later. It's ineffective if you send it to 0,0 w/o giving time for the b-anchor to take its place.

Well, first, you need a b-anchor. Second, you need an object w/ another anchor to attach to the original ground.

Now, the b-anchor must be the primary object, meaning it has the lowest layering.
The grounds, however, must have a layering index lower than the original.

Example:

Code:

<C><P /><Z><S><S L="10" H="100" X="400" Y="265" T="0" P="1,0,0.3,0.2,0,1,0,0" /><S L="50" H="50" X="400" Y="200" T="0" P="1,0,0.3,0.2,0,1,0,0" /></S><D /><O><O C="11" Y="200" P="0" X="400" /><O C="14" Y="220" P="0" X="400" /></O></Z></C>

Is there some kind of limit to where grounds still exist?
If so can anyone give me the x and y axis for it.
thx

I guess you need them for dynamic grounds.. I'll just give you a bunch of statistics from Temple's blog...

Weights of objects:

8 ball (7.8-7.9)
20 mouse
30 small box
55 small plank (55.3)
60 trampoline (60-61)
70 mouse with cheese
110 large plank (110.6)
120 large box
340 100x100 block
1000 anvil
1000 cannon

Mice live at: X = [-400, 1200], Y = [-600, 410]
Dynamic and shaman objects live at: X = [-120, 930], Y = [-900, 900]

Nightmode: Visible area has diameter 150, centered at 30 above the mouse's position (just above the ears).

A mouse is 30x30, centered at the back of his neck (this is the point you spirit in order to send him to limbo).

Wow thanks! That's just what I needed.

do i have to have 1000 cheese in order to export the map?

You must have 1000 cheese to be able to export maps as a requirement, and you must have 40 cheese to actually export a map.

Hi how I can create a map? Thanks

Is there a way how to make invisible ground that mouse will pass trough but other dynamic grounds will not?

So far, there's no way to do this.

Is it possible to submit maps to survivor, or is it mod only?

To get your map into the survivor room cycle you have to show it to a mod who may or may not approve it. But I think the applications have been closed now.

Step 1) Restart Computer
Step 2) Restart Internet
Step 3) Restart your head

Repeat.

Oh My god! I'm br but i read english... it's the best F.A.Q of the forum (and the only that i see). Good work Kalafior!
