Here’s where we actually configure a few settings in order to make the rover jump. Scroll the Properties window all the way down to this section. We’re now going to revisit the Character Gameplay Settings section. The preceding screenshot shows the relevant sections of the character’s properties window Your Properties window should look like the following screenshot: We just need to make our rover actually jump. Now we have an animation of a jump-jet firing when we jump. Drag the animated PNG sequence located in our Projects/RamblinRover/Characters/Rover001-Jump folder (a small four-frame animation) into the JumpAnimation field. While in our Mars Training Ground world, open the character properties for Training Rover. And since the gravity on Mars is lower than that on Earth, this seems legit enough to include it in our game. One viable way is to make the rover move in the same way a spacecraft manoeuvres (using little gas jets). But if they did do this, how would they do it? The surface of Mars is a combination of dust and rocks, so the surface conditions vary greatly in both traction and softness. But this rover will need to jump in order to make the game more fun.Īs we know, NASA has never made a rover for Mars that jumps. Our initial rover will not be able to shoot at anything (we’ll save this feature for the next upgraded rover that anyone can buy with in-game currency). That is, it’s a combination of a motocross game, a platformer, and a side-scrolling shooter game.
(For more resources related to this topic, see here.) Making the Rover JumpĪs we’ve mentioned before, we’re making a hybrid game. In this article by Ty Audronis author of the book Buildbox 2 Game Development, teaches the reader the Buildbox 2 game development environment by example.The following excerpts from the book should help you gain an understanding of the teaching style and the feel of the book.The largest example we give is by making a game called Ramblin’ Rover (a motocross-style game that uses some of the most basic to the most advanced features of Buildbox).Let’s take a quick look.
