#MARIO WARP PIPE HOW TO#
#MARIO WARP PIPE SERIES#

Special thanks to DMGregory, who has been tremendous help here since I started months ago! using System.Collections Ĭap.transform. Slap this on the default parent object within the prefab (or I guess on the prefab in the scene) and it will work instantly in the editor as well as in the game. = new Vector3(1, scaleFactor, 1) Ĭap.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0, pipeHeight - 1, 0) ĮDIT 5: WORKING SOLUTION, IN EDITOR AND IN GAME: Funny how simple things mess you up: using System.Collections įloat scaleFactor = (pipeHeight -0.5f)/ (0.5f * ) GameObject cap = GameObject.Find('PipeCap').gameObject ĮDIT 4: Last script was garbage, this one works when the game runs. GameObject neck = GameObject.Find('PipeNeck').gameObject Does anyone know what will get me instant feedback by typing the new height into the prefab's inspector field, 'pipeHeight'? using System.Collections

So I put it in Awake() and now the pipe is stretched when the game is played, but I would still rather get instant feedback from the editor. One Warp Pipe will cost you 5,000 Bells, and you can get one from the Nook Stop terminal at your Community Center. These errors say that I can't use transform.* in monobehavior, I had to put them in a function instead. = new Vector3(1, 2 * pipeHeight, 1) Ĭap.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0, pipeHeight - 0.5f, 0) ĮDIT 3: So I realized there were 8 new errors hidden under a hundred known warnings for something else that I didn't clear on my last test. Private GameObject cap = GameObject.Find('PipeCap').gameObject Private GameObject neck = GameObject.Find('PipeNeck').gameObject Here is the script: using System.Collections The script is attached to the parent inside the prefab. The prefab contains two objects, PipeNeck and PipeCap. It doesn't work in the inspector and it doesn't work while running the game if I execute the function in the start method. I exported the FBX and am seeing how the material looks on it at different lengths nowĮDIT 2: So I tried to make a script that alters the transforms of the prefab's children in the inspector but it is not working. It starts a level with 1 minute (60 seconds). The Warp Pipe has appeared in the LEGO Super Mario sets twice.

How can I create this feature? I would like the pipe to grow/shrink in the editor when I change the public variable 'height'.ĮDIT: I just put the neck and cap back together as one object and used a bone to control the neck length. Warp Pipe is an item from the Super Mario series that first appeared in the arcade game Mario Bros.

I have never done this before and am not sure how to begin.

It consists of 2 pieces, the neck and the cap. I have already modeled the pipe in Blender and baked textures for the material (but I won't be upset if I have to redo the material, it just needs to be a green anistropic type, very basic). That is, I want this object to be 'extrudable' and the neck material to be tilable under this operation. The key feature of this object will be that I can set the length (height) of its 'neck' to any length I require, as long as it is greater than 0.5m (the fixed depth of the interior of its 'cap'). I want to make a warp pipe from the Mario games in Unity.
