Buildbox backgrounds how to#

If not ticked, then the character – unless being moved by the person playing the game – will stay fixed on the scenery, causing it to move toward the edge of the screen. In this sixth video from our Buildbox Getting Started tutorial series, youll learn how to import graphics into Buildbox, edit and much more. Forced Movement: if ticked, them a movement of the background will force the player character to move – keeping it in the same position on screen. Direct Movement when checked, character can be moved around the screen by directional controls. Air Drag (x and y): force that will slow down the character's movement over time. Rotation Drag: force that will slow down any rotation of the character.

Note: this will not affect objects attached to the character. Platform Friction: friction force that will stop character sliding against platforms. Right Lean Force: force that will lean/rotate character right when lean-right button pressed. Left Lean Force: force that will lean/rotate character left when lean-left button pressed. Jump from Ground: can the player jump off the game-field boundary. You can fix this by increasing this value. If you have platforms with angles the character may sit across, it may be too far above ground to jump – even though parts of the character are still on the ground. Ground Threshold: detection of ground used for allowing Jump. Jump Counter: how many jumps can be made before touching the ground. A value of 0.01 gives consistent jump, higher values give option to have a variable height jump depending on how long button is held down. Jump Force: the force on character when you press the jump button. Also this will not affect objects attached to the character. If you require more standard physics for your bounce, leave this at 0,0 and put a value for World Bounce force. That is why there is an X and Y value to specify. Note: values here will constrain the movement of the player in an unrealistic way - eg with a vertical bounce force, hitting an angled surface will bounce you straight up and not sides - usually this is what you require.

Bounce Force: the force the Character will exert on another object. Max speed: the speed the character moves in. This is where you can adjust more advance character settings and how they interact with the game. The last category is the Character Gameplay Settings.
