Title: Map hubs
Post by: EoceneMiacid on July 22, 2017, 10:14:55 AM
Hi there,

Been a while since I've posted here.

Is it possible to set up a central hub map, and allow seamless transitions between maps?
I'm working on what I hope will eventually become a full-fledged Metroidvania-style game.

That could be done all the way back to Doom I believe.

Doom 3 does that in a couple maps, but you just tell the exit trigger to start you at a specific player start in the map you're loading.

I forget exactly how to do it atm, I'll have to look it up later & post if someone doesn't post the specifics.
