I Made "Fake" Platformer Mode in Geometry Dash

[@JamAttack]

If you want a copy of the setup I used, you can find it here (also FAQ bellow): 105928540 FAQ: ----- Q: Can't you just flip the arrow trigger instead of rotating it? A: Nope, rotating it would just make it so it turns the gravity upside down. My problem is that it always turns it right side up. Arrow triggers always affect the player's gravity. Q: Can't you just use a collision clock/collision ticker to trigger stuff every frame? A: Yes. That's how I'd do it in 2.1... I just like this method more because it's easier to set up and less laggy. You can also set up some more advanced conditions by changing the item's value that its comparing

Ok, Robtop should add a function called: Force platform mode on mobile, this would help at this level, and would open up a new range of possibilities like a true 6 player portal using 2 players, platform on classic, enter a password discovered in the phase classic in a safe at the end of the level to get a coin, in short, many possibilities without any downside.... 6 player portal in an extreme demon....

[@JamAttack]

that and a way to pause percentage going up would be huge ALSO if he could add a way to force traditional controls on platformer levels, that would really be nice for 2 button mini games. I ran into that issue with Jamskirts. I want to just have 2 inputs on both sides of the screen, but I also really like having unlimited time and platformer leaderboards.

[@arcezor]

for the cc5 you said no platformer but what if we used this

[@JamAttack]

I would only use this if it's near the end of the level so people don't get free orbs, and if it's completely optional (not even for a coin) cuz mobile players won't be able to play it

[@arcezor]

mobile players cant use it? dang thats annoying. really cool gimmick by the way i just thought it would be a funny workaround to the no platformers rule (although i have thought of some legitimate uses for it)

[@simpli_A]

I made a way for checkpoints to work in classic mode, however it’s a bit annoying in this context. Essentially I connected the checkpoints to a pickup trigger that had an item with item persist on. The first checkpoint set it to 1, the second to 2… so on. Since it has persist on, once you die you can still read that value and teleport to the corresponding checkpoint. I was proud of this, but couldn’t think of any reasonable use for it, but I guess this is one

yea that's one way... tho triggers that have run and everything else aren't saved

[@Atom.9971]

I Also Tried Making Platformer In Normal Mode But Instead Of Using Teleport Triggers I Used Reverse Triggers That Keep Reversing The Player To Stop It From Moving.

[@Nikita_Gamer]

6:48 you can place a pickup trigger that will be activated after using a checkpoint and item compare trigger in the start of the level and it will check if item ID != 0 it will teleport you to checkpoint

[@Hoodien]

20:34 Minecraft door ahh sound

[@NickAndriadze]

The fact that this allows you to change acceleration at will, not to mention very easily, is really cool and one advantage it holds over regular platformer mode. Is it buggy? Sure, but is it a ton of fun? Also sure. Also damn, surprised that flopshift factory worked for so long, including the wacky vertical platform boost!

[@robgames6789]

Solution for checkpoints: make it so that whenever a checkpoint is triggered, the spawn point object will teleport to the player, because there's a bug where the spawn point object doesn't reset to it's beginning position, which helped me make a fun gimmick where you just go back to the last platform you landed on, by teleporting the spawn point object to the player when an event trigger detects them landing

[@GeometryLemmy]

Nice! You’re good at creating :)

[@DolphinII_]

3:49 actually, it doesn't switch your gravity if you just flip it instead of rotating it.

[@TheChemical294]

this is kinda(?) unrelated to this video but i want to mention that back in 2019-2020 there was a 2.2 gdps based on the 2017 (or somewhere around there) version of subzero and there was someone who had recreated platformer mode in classic mode using p1 and p2 inputs. im really glad people managed to recreate "fake" platformer in actual 2.2 :')

[@eneff12]

I had an idea for a level where a central hub takes you to a bunch of small classic levels, and I thought I was going to have to make a hub that you navigate in classic mode where walls bounce you back and forth, but this is such a cool idea!

yes but it is impossible on mobile

[@SawBSketch]

the arrow trigger actually doesnt exclusive change gravity, it just sets the gravity to what the "floor" line in the trigger (the trigger icon is a big arrow with the small line), so mirroring it on the X-axis should have worked :P still makes it even more impressive that you managed to get it to work with reverse triggers, they feel way too simple to use for me. great work Jam

[@JamAttack]

yeah that basically means that they set the gravity to whatever makes that floor line in the same direction as on the trigger

[@STG24]

4:45 The H, D, F, J, and S blocks just work if the player's hitbox is colliding with the block's hitbox, the size don't matter that much

[@JamAttack]

yea

[@KlaifTheBee]

All you need to do is... Just do X-pos limit. Whenever the player at certain tickrate, like 284583842 and the same amount of FPS, you can stop it in place. Or you just move yourself at very high x-position, above limits redactor have normally. It's still works, btw. With teleport that moves portal million blocks away. At the correct locations, you could even keep moving yourself, if you cause a lag. This is what I call a pseudo x-pos limit bug. (At least it requires interesting bug not many people know about)

[@JamAttack]

that does sound cool and all but I think I like my method more

[@dashybois]

Kinda got me wondering: what if Rob added everything BUT platformer mode? What if Rob thought it'd be too game changing and never added it? Like would this end up being one of the ways that people would make pseudo-platformers lol Idk random ramblings soz lol still an interesting watch anyways. Also for super gd gem hunt 64 you could've used target mode for move triggers to move group 8 to the group you are supposed to be teleported to. Then again it's probably too much work like with collision blocks but just wanted to mention it.

[@JamAttack]

yeah I did that for the start but it seems to do something else to move the player between levels and I don't understand how it works
