How to create a 3D-World like world map

[Soupar Moriu]

Yeah... It was my old method. I was trying to make a world without paths (Like in 3D World) and this idea came to me.

1. Get the 4-side path sprite. It looks like this:


2. Edit it. make it just transparent. I did it using Paint 3D. Select all, press Del, and on the Canvas tab, toggle the Transparent Canvas option, then save it into the folder of your episode.

3. Fill any place you like with the 4-side transparent you made. Use Rectangle Fill.

Done! You have a 3D-World-like map.

Credit me if you used this method.

Don't use overlap mode. With Overlap disabled, place levels on top of the path you made.

Any path will work. All of them will connect to any adjacent path or level regardless of what the default sprite looks like.

But it just isn't a good idea to do this. When unlocking an open area like this, the game will unlock each path tile 1 at a time, so the player will be waiting ages for the unlocking animation to end. And moving around the open area will be clunky as the player can only move in 4 directions. Also none of the additional functionality like jumping will exist. If you want a 3D World or Wonder esque open world map, you'd be best off using LunaLua to make a new world map system.

BUT in 3D World, You can move all sides. If you place a single path it will be locked and unusual.

Also, did you read the title?

If you fill on, and get the levels
(Path on top, level overlapping)
There will be no unlock requirement.

But you can make yourself jump on specific places by placing invisible paths.

I can give an experiment gif.

Go on the structure.

Regardless of look, pathes are specifically locked.
It's not like a 1 side path being able to go all sides.

I literally figured this out on my own free time, in fact I think everyone has at some point figured out this method, so it makes no sence to credit just one person for it.
