{Request} Bicycle

[kivol]

So One addition to the game might be a Bicycle. Make it fill the tool slot, while raining you might be able to fall off? Running into things is not good for the bike. Other Ideas?

[kivol]

It should probably be one of the hard items to make. Gears involved.

Adding bicycle is impossible because there are no animation of sitting on it, and new anims for player cannot be added.

It's not impossible in the slightest. Worst case, you could make a bicycle that has the player animations baked in, and then make the actual player invisible. You'd have to do this for every character, but eh.

 

Impossible, no. A huge pain, yes.

Just throwing it out there, isn't there a Wes animation where he rides a bicycle? Only one direction though.

Good catch!

 

I think you can flip animations in the lua code itself, but I don't know how and I'm not 100% on that. There are definitely ways to warp animations, so I'm sure there's some way to flip them. Whether or not it's visible to us, I'm unsure.

Setting a negative scale in one direction flips the animation in that direction.

I can't believe that didn't cross my mind. It works in Spriter, and in Gimp, and in Paint.NET. I didn't think of doing that in Don't Starve, though.
