Thanks for testing
Thanks for testing Bloxy Kart’s Build Mode engine. This will release to the public version of Bloxy Kart on July 4, 2022 at 12:00 PM MST after the live event. We hope to see you there.
Bloxy Kart 🏫 - Roblox
Greetings! I have spent the last couple of weeks working on something revolutionary to the Bloxy Kart Community.
If you currently play MarioKart Wii, you may know that there are some things called Custom Tracks.
Basically, people mod their Wiis and add some tracks into their copy of Mariokart.
Well what if people didn’t need to mod their Wiis? What if you don’t need any technical experience (besides turning on a computer) to make their own track in a popular racing game? What if you could play it online with friends? That is what Bloxy Kart: Build Mode is for.
Basically, people are able to create maps. Infinite amount of maps.
And people are also able to name it whatever they want and select a template.
But hey, what if I wanted to create my own path?
We will get to that later.
After creating a new map, you have 5 buttons on the sidebar:
Objects
With Objects, you are able to place any asset from any map into your plot.
Please note: Not all assets are in Build Mode quite yet. We will be adding it towards the end of the final release of Bloxy Kart v4.0
They will be categorized, and you are also able to place item boxes onto your track.
These items will be put into better categories later on, they are just all imported from an old Bloxy Kart Build Mode test place back when we first started trying to create it.
With the power of @zblox164’s Placement Service, you get a result of:
Advanced
What if you are a builder yourself, and you really want to create a map and show your friends (Or just a random stranger?)
That is what the Advanced button is for:
You have a modded F3X, where you can place parts, and resize them, and do anything.
And if you remember the templates thing? Bloxy Kart’s race game is super smart. You can build off the map, as long as you do not go below the Baseplate, and go back to the finish line. The game is super smart at registering where the finish line is, and if you can complete a lap or not.
That is why the finish line is highlighted in red:
Customize
With this button, you get a menu that looks like this:
With this, you are able to customize the track color, track material, baseplate color, baseplate material, and how many laps your track has.
The Color Picker was programmed with Object Oriented Programming that fires a RemoteEvent to the server to change the color.
You can choose one of the preset colors that I stole from macOS’s color picker, or you can input a RGB value.
I call my ColorPicker, ColorService.
Now my material picker is based off of ColorService, (Called MaterialService), and it does the same thing, but with Materials:
MaterialService uses the Enum.Material API, so you will get the new material right away whenever Roblox adds one.
Laps is self explanatory, so I won’t talk about it.
Delete
Did you make a mistake on one of your builds? That is what the delete tool is for.
Press the Delete button, go up to an object, and hold E to delete it.
When you are done deleting an object, press the Delete button again.
Race
Did you make a really great map?
Press the Race button when you are ready.
but wait? How do I save?
Good question.
Build Mode uses autosaving technology, and when you are ready to race, it will already have your map saved.
Whenever you place an item, it calls the Server to save.
Whenever you add a part using Advanced, it saves.
Whenever you customize a part using Advanced, saves.
This save technology is super smart, and I have been unable to find flaws with it.
Anyways, back to racing.
When you load into the Race map, it loads the map and intelligently configures it to work with Bloxy Kart v4.0 Race engine:
And yes, you cannot cheat. The game knows when you are trying to cheat and puts you back on the track if you try to go through like this:
Anyways, that is Bloxy Kart Build Mode!
If you would like to test, please provide feedback
Thanks!
