Delightex (CoSpace) - Natural Disasters Help! by Samuel Van-De-Peer [HKPRI]

Opening a door

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 03:31:20 UTC

Use a prefab house, and make sure to select the door and toggle on 'use in CoBlocks'.

Radius 0.5 keeps the door on it's hinges (makes it look more real!)

Adding scenes

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 03:42:03 UTC

Use scenes to organise your workspaces.

3D environment - 'Project' is a blank scene

Setting environments

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 03:44:26 UTC

Open 'environments' and apply a quick setting to your scene.

You can add weather effects, background music and light filters here

Earthquake Effect

jarretdeme — 2025-04-23 05:40:43 UTC

Steps:

Double click on the camera and turn it on in the code.
Add the above code in the code blocks.
Test!

How to make a volcano

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 06:20:58 UTC

From the 'Library' tab at the bottom, drag an drop objects like rocks or mountains to create a 'volcano'

Next add fire from the library to add an active volcano effect

How to insert a person

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 06:26:26 UTC

From the 'Library' tab at the bottom, drag an drop objects to add them to your scene

Watch the video to see how to change the size, direction and location of objects.

Inserting objects, duplicating and grouping

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 06:39:47 UTC

You can group and duplicate objects to build worlds faster!

Be careful not to add to many things otherwise your world will break! : (

How to make a tornado

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-23 07:37:40 UTC

A little trickier... You need to group smoke with a cone from the library. Follow the video to see the steps

Test/check your tornado and adjust the properties and opacity

How to make a Tsunami

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 05:20:10 UTC

You can see at the start it's a little laggy right? [Top tip] - minaturise your scene (make it smaller) and it runs better.

We make a wall of waterfall by duplicating and grouping. Try not too use too many/make it too big or it will be laggy!

How to create a flood scene 1

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 05:33:03 UTC

Instead of bringing water to the city, bring the city to the water! You only need to build a small scene (less is more!)

Create the illusion of a flood by having objects that float on the surface!

Flood Scene 2 (in a house)

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 05:37:29 UTC

The simulation could be inside a building. Combine floor backgrounds and water objects from the library to create this illusion.

City underwater!

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 05:47:49 UTC

You can use ANY objects with ANY environment.

Experiment with the 'physics' setting to make objects float underwater

Animating objects

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 06:05:31 UTC

Same applies to people or animals and other objects you would expect to move in some way.

Explore the animate button with different objects!

Growing fire

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 06:09:04 UTC

If you want to create an explosion (think volcano), this is just an expanding object.

First, to code an object (like fire) you need to enable it first. After that just add the 'scale' block in [transform]

Animals in a panic

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 06:31:37 UTC

Watch the video to see how to combine SpLine (library/special/SpLine) and object animation to make an object like an animal run around.

You can edit the line and the speed. Experiment with both, test and adjust!

Walls shaking and breaking

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-04-24 07:14:54 UTC

To add the effect of desctruction, this is how you can code 'tiles' or 'bricks' to move and fall down on a wall

Add water or smoke particle objects as finishing touches :)

Simple Quiz with animation

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-05 23:58:53 UTC

Here is an example of using a quiz to trigger an animation.

Pause on the finished code at the end and see if you can figure out how to make it yourself.

How do I....

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-07 07:15:16 UTC

If you have any questions about how to create a particular effect.

Or questions on how the code or Co Space app works

Please post them here!

Simple Quiz that changes scene

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 06:16:37 UTC

Ask questions that relate to your natural disaster. Research if you need to, but try to use common sense!

TIP: It's useful to add text boxes to help guide the user through your experience.

@ Eason - Chair moving with person

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 06:26:07 UTC

Make sure you 'attach' the person to the chair so they move together.

you can change the passive posture/animation of the person even when they're on the chair

@ Brandon - Make Camera sit

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 06:33:23 UTC

Attach the camera to the eyes of a object that way you can animate it to sit. You can trigger the camera to sit with any action. I used 'when boy clicked'

Rising Lava or water

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 06:44:12 UTC

Create a floor tile or image. Code it to move up slowly. Add a collision rule to make it game over if you touch the lava or water

You can add this effect to create a sense of urgency. You can have this in a seperate tab and have your quiz questions in another tab running at the same time

Touch the floor, Game Over!

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 06:55:54 UTC

You can use floor tiles, or invisible boxes (magic boxes) to trigger an event. For example, 'gameover' message.

Make sure your magic box is 0.0 thick! It can be a little buggy otherwise!

@ Samuel - Tsunami impact

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 07:26:58 UTC

To create this effect, use 'physics' and colision conditionals.

create a wall and attach waterfalls to the wall. Code this to move slowly.
create a boat, turn physics on, and used physics blocks to create impact and movement.

Experiment with the differen physics blocks, but do not add too many as it will very easily bug out!

@Samuel - Firetruck plate?

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-23 07:35:29 UTC

You can attach people to the firetruck to make them sit inside. (Just make sure you change posture to seated first).

As long as they are attached to the firetruck, if you animate the firetruck to move, the people will move with it.

You can position a fireman ontop of the plate/crane, but you cannot attach them there.

Smoke that kills

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-27 02:44:21 UTC

Similar to lava rising and when you touch it, game over. You can also apply this to a wall of smoke.

Use a brick wall, reduce opacity, attach smoke and orient smoke to make it look realistic.
Make sure you turn code on for wall, then add a colision rule for when wall touches boy (or camera).

@Kimi - Path item

samuelvandepeer1 — 2025-05-30 00:31:14 UTC

A path item is an object in the 'special' category in 'library'.

You can code an object to move along the path like this (see video)
