Open sh-leveleditor-dir/levels/black_forest/map.json with Tiled.
Resize the map to these dimensions: width: 18 tiles; height: 11 tiles.
Draw the floor and holes on the path layer as in the screenshot bellow.
Use the automapping by pressing Ctrl+M.
Move objects layer all the way to the top in the Layers panel to better see
the objects we will create.
Resize the frame of the camera to match the edges of the map.
Create 2 heroes (type: hero), 1 cauldron (type: cauldron), 4 switches (type:
switch) and 16 spikes (type: spikes) in objects layer.
💡 See ObjectConfig documentation for more details on the different types of objects you can create in a level.
We want the spikes to be up at the start of the level: select all spikes and
check the enabled custom property in the left panel.
When the bottom hero walks on a switch, we want the spikes on the same column to be disabled. To do so we will have to use the spikes triggering system.
Select the left most switch and note its ID property (you can read it in the
first line of the left panel). Then select all spikes that are on the same
column and write this ID in the triggers property.
Repeat this process for the 3 other columns of spikes.
Now the spikes will be triggered by the switches. 😉
Package the level:
shutils pack-level levels/black_forest --watch💡 See shutils manual for more details on the command line
tools.
Open the level in the game:
selflessheroes --dev levels/black_forest/level.shlvLet's test that the spikes are indeed triggered by the switches with a simple code:
a:
step(e)
jump a
The heroes should step all the way to the right without dying in the spikes.
