Hello, this is the 26t-th way of making a galaxy with animations and with solar systems. But isn’t there a guide like this, for example, @JDAT_Is_Cool’s map about the Solar system, but it was made long ago and doesn’t feature animations.
How to make the galaxy:
This is the short, memory-saving way if the galaxy is only some of your map.
Why, you ask me, did I do the short way if there is a big project of the big galaxy? Because most people use space in their map only as part of the game they are doing.
The Short Way (Normal)
Galaxy
- Place down 4 invisible triggers around the place where the player is
- Place some barriers, make sure that below on the layers, form a cross with a space inside it around the 4 triggers.
- Make sure triggers above everything on the layers.
- Place down some space terrain, layer 5, approximately 25 x 25.
- Place a camera view that would be approximately the player view.
- Place down a lot of white, semi-transparent barriers without borders, and make them thin, medium - length rectangles and place 6 of them in circular order around the camera view center. Place down the other ones in a curved line that extends from each of the 6 central barriers, so that it looks like the Milky Way Galaxy.
- Place down 4 circular barriers about 1/18th of the size of the circular galaxy, they will be the stars, so make sure you place them in a non-geometric order.
- Place the smallest possible circular barriers around the stars but make some slightly bigger.
- Label the solar systems using white text
Solar System
- Place a teleporter, make it invisible.
- Attach it to one of the four triggers in the Galaxy using
Triggered --> Teleport player here
- Place a large, rectangular barrier, make it deep blue, and above players.
- Place the teleporter in a tight ‘box’ that won’t allow players to move
- Look at How to make the solar system [WIP] for Mercury, Venus, and the Sun.
- Mars - get a round barrier, make it orange - red, make the alpha 0.99, then get a circular barrier that’s orange - white, make it have no border, make the alpha 0.37, and place it on the barrier.
- You could make more planets, but I’m out of ideas.
- Copy each planet 20 times but make them not visible on game start
- Place the planets in ‘orbit’
- Get 20 triggers for each planet but make different trigger delays.
- Attach the teleporter to the 1st trigger of every planet using
Player teleports Here --> Trigger
- The rest is very painstaking; you have to connect the first trigger to the visible or 1st planet using
Triggered --> Disable Barrier
- Connect the 1st trigger to the 2nd trigger, the 2nd trigger to the 3rd… and the 20th trigger to the 1st using
Triggered --> Trigger
- Connect each of the 19 left triggers to their corresponding 19 non-visible planets; connect the 2nd trigger to the 2nd planet, the 3rd trigger to the 3rd planet… and the 20th trigger to the 20th planet using
Triggered --> Enable Barrier
- Connect the 1st trigger to the 20th planet, the 2nd trigger to the 1st planet… and the 20th trigger to the 19th planet using
Triggered --> Disable Barrier
- Do the same thing 3 times, but make the planets different and attach teleporters to different triggers.
And that’s it! If anything unclear, be sure to reply. Sorry for the lack of pictures. If you want, you could do the same thing you did in the galaxy so that you teleport to a planet
