[Open Assets] SRB2 Darkworld v2

[Flame]

Borrowed from the Legend of Zelda series, The Darkworld makes a surprise appearance in SRB2. Solve puzzles, Fool your enemies, trick your friends into attacking something that may outright be... A ghost?

It's a simple script, but I think it opens up possibilities for custom user created maps. The idea of the Dark world is well... Having a parallel world to that of the world you're in.

I've modified and updated and included the infamous "Meadow Match" (MAPMB) to give you a better idea of how this should function. There is a hidden teleporter in the map to take you between worlds. Other maps have not been updated and may produce different affects.

Spoiler: Can my map use this?

Short answer, yes!
The easiest method I could provide is: Consider the following grid. If you placed an object at 3 units to the right, and 5 units high..

You would have to rotate your objects 180 degrees with respect to the map's 0,0 origin. The end result would look like this:

If you place objects in one area of the map, they'll show up as "Ghost" objects in the other.

Welcome to releases! I actually remember this from years ago, so here's hoping it gets used!

Really liked the concept, wishing for someone to make a puzzle map out of this

Edit: i think you should make more maps to show what can be done with this, even simple ones

This is quite an interesting idea...
I noticed that when players jump or spin they stop being "ghosts" to players on a different plane.
This is only a visual bug, of course.
