[@LifeFruit-re7mj]

Thank you so much I’ve always wanted to learn the editor and 2.2 seems like the perfect time, I’ve been looking for good tutorials.

[@RReapxRR]

I feel like this will be so helpful when creating bossfights. Cant wait!

[@WookiesRUs]

This was very well made, really great job. Maybe some miscellaneous triggers next? (Area ect.)

[@secretgogeta]

Thank you! This video was really helpful!

[@ChongYunLinJaeannNhps-qn5yn]

nice tutorial. you can create really advanced animation, and even watch cool movies as you play the level

[@jeremylee48]

This is actually so nice. You've got comparisons and examples and everything. People don't realise it is a skill to teach and communicate. The editor guide in this regard hasn't been so helpful imo. I thank them for their efforts too, but it's more encyclopedic than designed to teach.

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Thank you! :)

[@WhatsaVaati]

VERY good tutorial!

[@madsyndromne]

this is all i needed to know tyy :))) 7:18

[@kingofthevolt]

Good tutorial! Also you should turn your timestamps into chapters. I can't really explain it in a comment but you can find a short video on how to add them if you don't know how.

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I was originally going to do that but I never got around to figuring out how, but I will learn how to and do it soon!

[@pauf6623]

Thanks!!

[@Solysis5]

excellent video, if only rubrub was this good at just telling me what the meaning of all the buttons do wait nevermind he does, but id rather use a good online guide like this one :)

[@Justsayit58]

thanks bro :,D and now its the moment of make animations >:D

[@leonidas300_8]

Super helpful! Will use this later Also the ddlc music scared the shit outta me

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Lol

[@DalTD6]

[@ramonyt609]

Bossfights will change a lot and be well optimized with this new system

[@FryGuy909]

Also you can use the animate trigger to detonate particles

[@KenMinhV2]

Simple but helpful, thanks man

You're the One ❤

[@alejandroespinoza104]

Friend, what's complicated for me is that I don't understand English well, I wrote this text with Google Translate, but seriously I still managed to understand it, your tutorials are also super great, you definitely deserve more support and to be more famous.😅

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Thank you for your kind words!

Holy crap it worked!!!!!

[@tucsonlocura5595]

this video is nice dude, make the next one about area triggers plz

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I will do an area trigger tutorial when I figure out how they work! :)

[@tucsonlocura5595]

@@thatoneguywhocodes tenkiu bro, I tried to do it by myself but my mind couldn't afford it

[@user-sy8bo2xd3x]

Sort out the *Order* and *Channel* in the Edit Group for objects in tabs with spheres and triggers.

[@kxhu]

you're awesome

[@Ye_uupp]

This video is nice

[@marxtheminer1864]

Hey, great tutorial, but I might be slow as I don't see a difference between even and distance because setting the times of the other triggers other than the first one results in the same movement at the same speed. Ive also tried changing distance covered but whenever I input the same values it gives the same result on distance or even.

[@shakeoffx8558]

You're the best

[@MikaJums]

What a eagle!

[@akameshy1906]

When Robtop presented this trigger in a video, at the end he showed some group animation. Do you know how to do something like that? I mean animating something and making it stay in the same place, since from what it explains, for this trigger to work, you need the object to always move

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

To make the animation stay in one place you can copy and paste a keyframe and just not move it, then set the duration for however long you want it to be still

[@akameshy1906]

@@thatoneguywhocodes Thank you very much, that is a solution, although to make many movements I think it will become a little messy

[@dxstroyer3370]

Can you do song and sfx? I’ve been struggling trying to create a loop for a 6 seconds section of a song on platformer but i just can’t figure it out

[@zkarzalgo5849]

Will Preview art and Update art be a separate tutorial? I'm struggling on how to use Update art and preview art currently.

Dude thx its really help me

[@Nightrex]

Me ayudo mucho el tutorial, me ayudaste a ahorrar triguers, por cierto emmm te recomendaria tambien poner subtitulos al español, al menos dentro de un "()" Ayudaria un chingo a la gente pero weno Sigue asi con el contenido good jsjs

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Agregaré subtítulos pero tomaría un tiempo.

[@Manzanillas2]

can you make next a tutorial on how to make those kind of levels like fire in the hole spam?? not really spam but to use the audio

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I’m nearly done with a shaders tutorial but after that I will make an sfx and music tutorial!

[@Builder9688]

How do you make the animation play in a loop for platformer levels

[@flavio_santanah]

Thank you for the video! Is it possible to make the keyframe animation loop? I mean, to make the entire animation repeat for a while...

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I made a tutorial on it :)

[@gametreeZ]

I don't understand the X and Y position modifier, could u please explain?

[@horse7379]

What is the purpose of move triggers when these exist?

[@subscribetoexentix69420]

Can u make this from the gd trailer group animating tutorial?

[@Ios2051]

Keyframe trigger is the best!

[@Ios2051]

Wow the keyframe trigger worked!!!!!

[@0px1]

Tysm like + sub

[@ZAIRU-EVY]

Its easy to make now a broken block wall animation when you bump into it

[@DonnabelDiones-vc1gy]

oh ty i know hoq to use keyframes now

[@moonstarmaster]

I was trying the group animating and it does fine in the test thing but when i actually play it it just mangles the thing do you know why this is happening?

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Could you maybe upload a video and send this link?

[@akameshy1906]

"Preview Art" Doesn't Work?

[@leafyleaves632]

2.2 is out? Damn

[@JiroRobloxHighGames]

Can u make animate groups for gd 2,2? Idk how to make it

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

[@Anonimo-tn8zr]

Alguien que sepa si se puede crear un loop con este trigger claramente usando mas triggers por favor ayudaaaa

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

Tienes que seleccionar todos los Keyframes y, el Keyframe trigger, luego pausar el juego y presionar el botón "Créate loop" en la parte superior derecha, luego seleccionar el ‘Spawn Trigger’ en la parte inferior y cambiar el ‘Delay’ que funcione mejor.

[@DesultoryMan]

Any clue about the Parent ID in Keyframe Animation Trigger?

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I believe it's so that the parentID that you put in there will be used as a center of scaling and rotation

[@syncolin]

As geometry dash evolved, I remember when I played the 1.8 trying to pass Stereo madness😅

[@someoneiguess6523]

Is it possible to loop the animation i want to make an always moving platform

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I made a tutorial on it

[@someoneiguess6523]

Oh ok

[@user-rb1wj9ep1z]

When robtop showed keyframe system there a animate think in the end with skull but why robtop don't add it?

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

He did add it, it’s the keyframes. In order to do it you have make your design that you want to animate (in this case, a skull) and follow the steps at 7:00 to make it grouped together (1 group is the top half of the skull and 1 group is the bottom half, both groups have separate keyframes and are NOT in the same animation) then you can use the warp tool to warp the keyframes in the way you want the skull to move, and that should animate the skull in a way that RobTop did

[@drenkata]

[@ziwuri]

2.2 is simply peak

[@frederick6618]

i dont know how when i place two and one more the other two focus on the one i place how do i avoid thst?

[@frederick6618]

i just figured it out but it wont ainimate now

[@JackSalzman]

Thank you for the tutorial fellow iPhone user

[@MrThirtyNineGeometryDash]

In robtop video he drou a skull and animate it. Can u show how he did it?

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

I can’t show it but I can try to explain it, basically you make your design that you want to animate (in this case, a skull) and follow the steps at 7:00 to make it grouped together (1 group is the top half of the skull and 1 group is the bottom half, both groups have separate keyframes and are NOT in the same animation) then you can use the warp tool to warp the keyframes in the way you want the skull to move, and that should animate the skull in a way that RobTop did

[@Ele_Ral]

Do you know how to make the frames show the object instead of the icon?

[@thatoneguywhocodes]

It involves the ‘preview art’ and ‘update art’ buttons but that’s all I know

[@Ios2051]

Next looping spawn animations?
