How to make a comic book/novel in gimkit! WIP

[oof-sister]

We all love comic books right? Why not make a comic book/novel?

Required:

Making the book

Use 4 barriers (2 colored for the cover and 2 above for the pages)

This is just for the inside parts of the book, if you want the front or back, those are in the optional section.

How to go to page 1 --> page 2 (MOST COMPLEX PART)

Get a lifecycle and wire it to a speed modifier at 0 (i’ll explain why in a second)

Get two game overlay’s,

For the first overlay (the one active on game start) Name it ‘next page’ with a channel of your choice (same channel for the buttons on the left) Imma use next

Then make it so that the channel is transit and makes the overlay hide and put another channel to make it show (imma use turnover)

Then for the other overlay (not active on game start) name it ‘turn over page’ and put in the opposite channels

Now get 2 teleporter’s (one with the ‘next’ channel and one with the ‘turn over’ channel)

Now put the teleporters on the opposite sides (so the one that has the next channel is on the right page and the one with the turn over channel is on the left page)

Now get two camera views and two camera pointers

Now put the camera zooms on each side of the pages

Wire the game start to the camera point thats going to be on the LEFT, and put it on the left side of the page.

Make the camera point on the left side deactivate on next and activate on turn over (The channels im using)

Now put the other camera point on the right side of the book and make it activate on next and deactivate on turn over

Now add a spawner to the left side of the book (preferably on top of the tele-porter) and your done!

Now the book should work like its intended too!
It should start at page 1:

Go to page 2:

And then back to page 1:

How to add new pages

Add a counter:

Wire the turn over overlay to the counter:

Make the counter target be 1 and put in a channel (i’ll use page3-4)

Wire in text box and show them on game start and hide them on the channel.
Then put in new text boxes not visible on game start and shows on the channel.

Repeat this process multiple times to add more pages into the book! (I know they’re simpler ways, This is the one I use most of the time)

Ask me to edit before editing

[oof-sister]

Imma add more to the guide when I have time (I kinda had to rush)

[Hello0]

I love it (Can I help edit some?)

[Toxic]

Cool!

[oof-sister]

I don’t know how to do that but sure once I figure out how

[Toxic]

A wiki.

[oof-sister]

Thanks… how do I do that? (Im not a regular )

[Toxic]

Either you ask a regular to make it for you, or you ask a TL4 to make your post a wiki.

[oof-sister]

ok @Unstable can you make this a wiki please (Hope im not disturbing you . plus I dont know any other TL4 after Blackhole left)

[OOF]

hmmm I can now trick my parents to using Gimkit more for reading

[oof-sister]

Well… it would only be your book as a selection but go right ahead

[Here_to_help]

I’ve made it a wiki for you.

[oof-sister]

Thanks so much

[CustomCoaster]

Wait, WHY does this have to be a wiki?
isn’t this already finished? If not, add (WIP) to the title.

[SpearOfTheUniverse]

@oof-sister can i add a poll (for if it’s helpful or not)?

[oof-sister]

Sure you can im fine with that

[oof-sister]

I mean I missed a few things, like how to make a cover and back of book. And there probably is a simpler way to make the book flip pages so if someone wants to put there idea in they can .

Also how to make panels and the camera point pointing to each on in a order (for a comic book)

[Unstable]

@oof-sister

ok @Unstable can you make this a wiki please (Hope im not disturbing you .

ngl, no clue how to do that, excuse my ignorance, I’m not the most active forums member, I’ll just throw this over to @InkyDarkBird if he can do that

[Turtle]

Just go to the wrench icon on the post and click “make wiki”. That should work.
Actually, it already is one (has been for like a day lol). Never mind.
