How to make stairs in Top-Down

Introduction

Have you ever been in the situation of making a top-down map, only to realize that you need stairs in your map? well most likely you are trying to get something like this


correct?
well today I will show you how you can make stairs like this.

How to make the stairs.

first place a barrier that the color is completely black, then change the alpha to be 0.30 and have no collision. change the size to be how wide you want your stairs to be. then duplicate it and have equal space in between, do this until you reach how long you want your stairs to go.
you will eventually get something to the effect shown in the image above.

Explanation on how this looks like stairs

how this works is that it mimics a shadow on the front side of the stairs, and makes it have an sort of isometric view, which will make it seem like actual stairs to the players, which is what we want. this can be used greatly in lobby’s or actual maps. (do make sure that the barriers are in a layer below the player, so it doesn’t have an odd effect.)

Conclusion

in conclusion this is one way you can make stairs in top down, that way you can continue making your map, without having to avoid elevation at all costs. if you liked the guide please just use the :heart: button instead of saying “good guide” if you want to add on to what I’ve already said or say what you would like to be improved here, feel free to let me know!

This looks pretty short for a guide, nice job though.
I would recommend visual aids for more people to understand.

Listen, paggy.
What is happening here, is that you are not accepting the fact that you are wrong.
We are trying to benefit the community, by correcting unwanted behaviour.
What you are thinking is “Oh, they hate me so they be mean”

Maybe, think that in fact, you are wrong?

Also, mini-modding is very frowned upon. Fix yourself before fixing others.

Me and whitewhole have already resolved this issue. We dont need someone else butting in with their opinions.

what do you suppose could help with that? I mean I can sort of try to explain how it tricks your brain into thinking its stairs using some images but I don’t know how I would go about that to be completely honest.

I mean, it could help with this.
