This guide will be split up into 3 sections, basic platformer techniques, advanced platformer techniques, and miscellaneous platformer techniques. Now, I can’t be talking about platforming because I don’t have the season ticket, right? Well, left.
The purpose of this guide is to help people build their platforming maps and so they can add difficulty without RNGesus involved.
Basic Platforming Tech
- Jumping. You know what it is if you are reading this. You know what, I’ll explain it. So, to jump, you have to press the W or ^ arrow. While you are in mid-air, you can move with the AD and <> arrow keys.
- Headhitters. If you know what Roblox headhitters are, you know what these are. If you don’t know what Roblox headhitters are, it is a type of platforming jump where you have to jump from a platform to a platform directly on top of you, like this:
Advanced Platforming Tech
-
Speed Boosting. If you land on a slope just right, you will gain extreme speed and will be able to jump across normally uncrossable gaps.
-
Slope Jump Resetting. ClicClac discovered this technique. Basically, if you use this tech, you can regain your jump and double jump on a slope. On a right slope, these are the key presses: <^>(hold)<^>.
-
Gliding.
Miscellaneous Platforming Tech
-
Speed Modifiers. If you modify your speed, the physics of jumping change because you can jump farther (but not higher), which adds a new challenge because you aren’t used to the new physics.
-
Lasers. You can have lasers that insta-kill you as an obstacle. However, never have the laser heads unshown. The laser heads have invisible hitboxes that stay, even if the laser heads aren’t shown.
And that’s it. If there’s anything I missed, just tell me, although chances are I won’t be able to answer for a while because I have a Math STAAR soon.
