I am working on an obby currently and have 11 levels so far. It is only in alpha. I want mine to be different from the normal ones. Meaning, not just lava jumps and tightrope walks. I need some ideas on what to add...

If u have any ideas on what to add, just comment below!

Thx,

Can you script? If so, you'll be able to make unique obstacles. Otherwise, you may be stuck making more lava jumps.

However, you could probably make an obstacle where you have to jump across a pool of water by jumping on ice cubes. And if you touch the water, you freeze and are brought back to the spawn.

So, two questions:
1) can you script?
2) does your obby have a theme?

blobbyblob,

1)no but i am in the process of learning
2)no but later in development, after public plays, i might add "level packs".
Meaning like maybe 5-10 levels with a minecraft theme or something.
U can visit my place and give feed and get ideas if u like.

Woah woah woah... You actually think there are more non-lava obstacle courses than there are lava-using obstacle courses? And by lava, I mean any brick that killing the player instantly from touch...

I would bet that 95% of all obstacle courses on ROBLOX (not counting those stupid PBS one) have a lava kill brick in them.

It's to the point where it's so unoriginal and cliché that any game that has it is already on a bad course to being lame.

Lava is fine. It's straightforward, so users know what to do.

The only reason I don't have it in my obby (rage mtn) is because it would be immensely frustrating to be sent back to the spawn (I don't have checkpoints).

But I think lava is fun.


Anyway, tekkit, my ice cube idea requires no scripting. You could either use terrain water or put BodyPositions in them and set the y position to your water level and the maxForce to 0, 5000, 0. And you'd probably want to put a BodyGyro in them, too.

So I actually visited this time, to my dismay.

It was exactly like every bad obstacle course on the front page. I had told you that Lava was a bad idea, and it is. Find more creative ways to stump or slow your players, but Lava is *not* the way.

Because the way I look at it, why should I or any other user play your obstacle course when there are at least five on the front page that are exactly like it?

So ask yourself, "what does my place have that others are lacking"... And most of the time, you should answer with "Creativity". Once you can say that, you've got yourself a half decent place. If you draw a blank, your game is unoriginal.

I think you should add a spinner type obstacle, with only one blade that is safe to jump on. Then you have to ride the spinner where you will then jump to ANOTHER spinner.

Well, to make it unique you need some awesome stuff;

• Trampolines, they're pretty classic.
• A go-kart thing where you HAVE to drive because there's a slope to go over only for cars.
• One of those huge skateboard ramps.
• Little mini plate jumps that are disco bricks, it might be a bit distracting so get the ones that go 1....2.....3....4....
• Tree jumps, I love those.
• Find the teleport.
• The teleport will teleport you to a helicopter and you have to parachute down and find the right base.

If you add any of this, I'm coming to your obby :P
