Would anyone be interested in a feature that allows you to have multiple worlds in one game?

O.O

Are you KIDDING?!!?!?!


OF COURSE! That would... I mean... That's like taking a ROBLOX game and turning it into a Playstation game. That's how epic that would be.

That would be cool, what would also be cool would to be able to make the games bigger

@Glome

That's called the Size property of World. Big Grin

I'm assuming that that's like you have several 'tabs' in the editor. Each one is a different World with different objects in it. The character would automatically spawn in World 1 (unless there was a SpawnLocation somewhere else). Via scripts you could change the Character's Parent to a different World. Only the current world would show up in the editor.


But that's just what I think it would be -- Jacob_ might have something slightly different in mind.

Ignore my last post, multiple words would be amazing, just can't we do this manually???

You can change that? Hmmm, might just not work on mine cause my editor is really glitchy.


RE: Multiple Worlds - Qwertygiy - 05-31-2011

Techinically, you can actually, but all the parts still show up in the editor and it just makes bugs.

Y...Y.....YES!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Just what I needed! You sir, are a mind-reader!

I'm going to make a downloadable editor first, since I've seen that requested a couple times, then I'll work on the worlds. It might take several days to do--all of the game's code assumes that there is only one world.

I was originally going to have each World object in the editor correspond to a physical world, but then I realized that the World is a service, so there can only be one. So instead each world will be a completely separate game hierarchy, and you'll access them using game:getWorld("worldname"), which will return another root object.

This will take a long time to code, but I think it'll be worth it!
