Trampoline volume, that behaves like a trampoline when touched

Similar to the floor in the Trivia hallway, along with the stars from Event Horizon in the “trampolines” from Prism. That would be really cool.

I’d love new varieties for light boxes and buttons!

Light Box Heart
Light Box Moon
Light Box Sun
Light Box Star
Light Box Semicircle
Light Box Check
Light Box Plus
Light Box Arrow
Light Box Ring
Light Box Drop
Light Box Gem

New button shapes

Right Angled Triangle
Octagon
Hexagon
Arrow
Ring
Drop
Gem

Ring button would be useful to be paired with plus / check buttons for quiz / trivia stuff, arrows that tells you where to go, etc!! Light box semicircle would be great for certain window shapes too (:

I use buttons and light boxes a lot. they’re extremely useful especially when you can be creative with them- i’m talking adventure maps, mini golf, malls, stores, arcades, and so much more!

Assuming normal map decals are possible in UE4, I think a decal-like text item that engraves words into surfaces would be really sick

DragonLord_PL · September 26, 2024, 5:53pm

Now THAT is one very cool idea for sure. Yeah, let’s hope this is possible because an item like that could be useful.

Oversized Plastic Building Blocks

A grove of trees with multiple types would be great for large builds.

If you want to make a big forest, your only real option is to place tons of individual trees as far as I know, so having a set of 10 or so trees you can place en mass would be good for performance.

Great idea!

I’d also like to piggyback on this; Holdable flashlights & lanterns!!

I’m currently making a map that features a dark forest and to be able to see people walking around with flashlights / lanterns from a distance would be a dream.

This would be so helpful. I’ve been wanting to make forest builds for a bit now and the prospect of having to place 100+ pine trees kills me every time.

I feel that this could be a type of tool for Tower Glove, or an extension of the Copycat or it’s Copycat but with a Paste Cluster option

in addition to this, Copycat needs an extra option to allow duplication with randomised Z-axis rotation

GoopGoop · October 11, 2024, 3:24pm

but then you’d still have the issue of those items being performance heavy.

an unique model which is lower detail would help lower item count and improve performance.

DragonLord_PL · October 11, 2024, 3:26pm

Couldn’t both of those options exist together?

GoopGoop · October 11, 2024, 3:37pm

I mean yeah, a cluster paste would be nice but goowose was implying it as a replacement (as in implementing it instead of the other), not as an alternative
