RobExplorien Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Powerbrick arches are the new phenomenon in LR. I was thinking of using these as checkpoints which the player has to pass in a given time or as fast as possible and compete for best times perhaps. Even if this idea does not appeal, it still makes pretty arches. Radius is customizable now. aidenpons, Car CrazeXVI, Jack Bluebeard and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 That's pretty amazing to look at, however if a player was shot by a cannon under one, wouldn't they get filled up with power bricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobExplorien Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I can't seem to get the quote thingy work now, but for what you asked Jimbob: I intend to use it for time trial mode, or single player mode without opponents. Still, I need to work out the idea if I actually want to make it function well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Can't the player drive to the left/right and collect one brick? And also, if they use a flying thingy/whatever it's called wouldn't they be able to collect some bricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobExplorien Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Edited my little tool, it can now place these arches in any horizontal direction. Also, below an image of different radii. Will continue optimalizing tool. Also, discovered (if not done already) that the white bricks can't be collected if you don't denote the use of coloured bricks in the .PWB file. So you skip the entries for coloured bricks and go straight to denoting white brick positions. So to answer both of your questions, you can't collect them this way. le717 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's a relief. You might want to put a seizure warning on this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's awesome. I might use your tool to transform one place (maybe Royal Knights Raceway, I don't know) so that it is covered entirely in white bricks, so you can barely see where you're going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 so you can barely see where you're going I once made a car that did that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yajmo Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 O.T. Woah, its so intense wow, oh my god, double rainbow Seriously though, that's really cool. Could you do it with other items also? Maybe skeleton mummy dizziness things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobExplorien Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 O.T. Woah, its so intense wow, oh my god, double rainbow Seriously though, that's really cool. Could you do it with other items also? Maybe skeleton mummy dizziness things? Other objects like Brickulator explains in the object moving tutorial? Yes, that would be possible, though right now the tool only writes in the syntax of .PWB files. But I'm not sure about the mummy curse, might give it a try and see if it is possible. It also appears on certain positions on the ATT track, so it must have some coördinates for that if I'm not mistaken. Also, trying the checkpoints with the FLYSKYHGH cheat. Much more interesting. Checkpoint sounds are edited in the video though, couldn't get the custom audio work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKf6VvV8nw&feature=c4-overview&list=UU6DE4hJMNVET8Bz5ob5n9mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the sound in the background you hear when you collect a power up edited in too? Are you going to make this for every race in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Your video shows that you can't take the shortcut! Great job. I eagerly await progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Do you plan on making any other such tools? This is excellent and I'm sure there are many more similar tools that could be useful. I eagerly await progress. Alright, you've made your point now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirza Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 i like the idea of checkpoints made out of power bricks. i do think the different arches should be different coulers though.some red,some green,you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the sound in the background you hear when you collect a power up edited in too? Are you going to make this for every race in the game? The normal sound of collecting the brick is in-game. I'm not planning to make this for every race in the game. Once I get that tool 'finished' to some extent you can do that if you want. Do you plan on making any other such tools? This is excellent and I'm sure there are many more similar tools that could be useful. Don't know. I'll just make sure the one I'm working on now gets finished. i like the idea of checkpoints made out of power bricks. i do think the different arches should be different coulers though.some red,some green,you get the picture. Will implement this. Each arch will only have one colour though, not mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
