Stack and align scenes together

Hi everyone i just want to know that how can i use both stack and align scene in a game?

 

I would like to know too, because buildbox used this method in the game of phases, but I have and isea ill test and tell you my results

 

Ok thank you!

 

If you want scenes to be random like The Line Zen then use Stack Scenes. If you want them in order like Phases then you Align scenes.

 

I've heard of others talking about doing both stacking and aligning in a game. For example, phases ends with endless play. However, I think others have mentioned that they have also been able to stack and align scenes such that it sort of combines an endless random assortment from within an alignment of scenes. Did anyone do that?

 

You can combine align and stack... but you need to do it manually.

 

Very handy. I imagine this would be a great way to create 4-5 random stacked scenes to provide the user with a different starting experience and then align the remainder to map our your game, is that the right way round?

 

so yeah, you can do something like this:

 

Yup, very groovy @Andy, thanks. I reckon you could get really creative with this. I'm thinking of using this method for another game I have in the pipeline where I could offer the user a random 3, 4 or 5 scene part of the game and then continue on along a mapped aligned route. The beauty of this is, I can do this at the beginning, middle and end of the game, or indeed anywhere else through the game where it would make sense to give the user a random scene experience.
A cool option would be to perhaps have a 4 door option at the end of a scene and ask the user to pick one. Unknown to the user, behind the scenes we have a 4 scene stacked selection for them, so regardless of which door they choose, they will get a different experience.
I'm just thinking out loud and typing at the same time, which I know is dangerous, but this is pretty bloody cool.

Stack & Align may well be the new Rock 'n' Roll

 

Variations varying!!!

 

Thanks @Andy

 

Hi @Andy i have followed your instruction but after the start level only my last level is repeating like we do to solo a level for testing.

 

@taimoorjavaid45

How long is your start level? If it is 4000 distance or longer only scene 8 will show in this example.

 

Yes its longer than 4000. @Andy

 

sooooo... what am I doing wrong here?


15 plays into oblivion... just background... nothing else repeats....
@Andy @Taimoor Javaid @Phill Mason @Jamie

 

Stack scenes have end distance -1. So update your last scences end distance.

 

I actually found how to do this own my own...(breaks arm patting self on back) . Was a thought this sort of thing could be one of several new tutorials for my YouTube page which will now cover BuildBox as well as all Apple publishing aspects. Would people like a series of tutorials if they helped new comers?

 

This did not work

 

@Taimoor Javaid it doesn't work if I make that one right above match either....

 

anyone?
