Outland Assembling Bridge Effect

[Rufus]

Not a terrain as much as an effect, but cool stuff I wanna show off with.

I learned basic animating today, and made this animation on a floating rock, where it floats into its position.
I used this to form a bridge that would assemble and disassemble when going on and off it.

Here's a gif on how it looks:

Here's the map where you can see the effect in game (looks way better than gif):

(just head south in-game)

I'll try to record a video if I can make the recording program work with me.

You have an amazing thing done.

 

[Rufus]

Thanks!

Cool. Works like the vanilla elevators?

 

[Rufus]

It could, but there's no need really. I don't need to turn the bridges off, so they are walkable at all times.

Great idea Rufus. Looking neat!

How did you manage to create empty space on the sides and make nether visible in the background? Is there a guide for that process?

 

[Rufus]

@Naze Thanks!

@Pugnadeus The empty space is called Alpha Tile. Learn all aout it here: » Create your defined artistic style using the mighty alpha-tile
I created the sky effect in the background myself, so there's no guide on it, but you are welcome to open the map up and see how I did it.
It is not a solution for multiplayer maps though.

@Rufus I wanted to use it in my multiplayer map, care to explain why it wouldn't work?

 

[Rufus]

Well, it is a model that follows the player around. Having the sky follow more than one player around, would result in multiple skies overlapping eachother.
There are other methods for this that works for multiplayer though, but not that I know of.
