New Level- Separated

rakeltav · Post by **rakeltav** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:34 pm

I liked so much of doing levels that here is another one!

PS: if anyone could help me i aprecciated. How do i built a level with hidden buttons? I tried to put a button in a spot, then i put a fake wall to hide the button, but then the button disapears. If a can put hidden coins in fake walls, why can't i put a button in a fake wall? Can anyone tell me what do i have to do? Thanks

As a general rule of thumb in the editor items in the top box can not share the same square on the game board. For example, it's either a fake wall or a link sphere, it can't be both but you can share the space with one of the 'objects', for example a coin or a tree, but again one or the other not both.

There, clear as mud, right?

So if you want to hide buttons, put them behind a big wall!

I know that lots of level makers have put buttons in walls by the edge of the level. Like hidden in a half wall.

I've only made two levels so I'm not very good at this stuff. Someone just had one like that.......rats I can't remember who's it was.

I must be doin' sumpin' wrong here. I can't do nuttin' without getting botted

Yup on all the above, here are some other ideas, Hide them on the edge using the walls texture, surround then with trees, place a box, barrel etc... on top of them!
Of course when you place an item on top of a button the gate is already open, So you would have to make it so that the item covering a button would have to be used or destroyed in order to make another part of a level accessible and so on.
Just keep at it and the ideas will start to come.

Just finished this one, and what a teamwork challenge it was! Phew!

Found out how to avoid getting botted - don't look if you don't want to:

2 steps right, 1 step down into fake wall at the start

At least the spikes didn't get me this time.

Thanks for the puzzle Rachel.

Thanks Kiki and Lizzie for the help.

Wow Rachael this was a doozie! Finally got to the end and I was one coin short!!!! Yep you know the one.

Great puzzle and keep up the good work! Thanks for this. Now I'm off to tackle a few more of yours

Thanks to Robyn for the help getting that one coin! Tricky little level! I enjoyed figuring it out. Thanks for all the fun, Rake!

Fun level Rachel. I kept getting in a hurry and running into botties. I kept forgetting the coin up where the botties were, I didn't see the extra entrance in the wall, I was hurrying Stinky around to the two in the bottom. Had a bit of trouble with the boomer and the coin he was guarding, finally approached him with the boulder coming from a different way where he didn't blow it up when I struck him.

Thanks for the level.

I tried to play this, but my game crashes - perhaps there is a missing texture?

For hidden buttons, what I like to use is the BIG boxes!
A big tree also does the job.

Amnon - I took a look in the Editor, and the background setting is Custom, where there is no CustomBackground added.

So I just changed the background to walls. Hope you don't mind Rachel.

Thanks Rachel, now I could complete it - nice trick with the kaboom: took me quite a few tries to get over him.
