EyeCandy Tipz and Trickz

[BattlezM]

This thread talkz about how to improve the appearance of your level by using trickz by making EyeCandy look better.
If you have your own EyeCandy ideaz, post them in the additionz to the GLE sub-board. You will be credited only if your idea has never before been seen in a level (unless it was your level that featured it).

Warp Stationz:

Graphicz Set- Gruntz in Space

Warp Stationz spruce up the appearance of a bland teleporter. Warp Stationz take up a space of 3 X 3 tilez, so only use them if you have space.
To make a warp Station, place an EyeCandyAni or BehindCandyAni (Ani improvez the appearance). Have the image set to a fort. Place the blue pool of the fort center over the center-left tile of the area you want to Warp Station to be in. Put eyecandy stumpz under the center-center and upper-center tilez. Then place an observatory on top of where the king pacez (it may face in either direction). Put a warp over the blue pool. Now you have your Warp Station ready to take your grunt(z) where ever you want!

Tipz on usage:

• Multiple Warp Stationz are better than one, particularly when they are linked together to warp a grunt in one another. For this have the warp of a warp station warp to the lower-center tile of another one.
  
• You can make the warpz green and have 2 or more Warp Stationz all link to each other to have accessibility to areaz of the map.
  
• Linked Warp Stationz are great for levelz that have no particular order in doing puzzlez to get the player'z gruntz around fast.

Hydro-dynamics:

One thing I recently considered with water in Gruntz, it would be rather neat to have more puzzlez that modify wayz water behavez, rather than merely have islandz and bridgez going around. But there is no switch for changing terrain without making it a secret.

However, I do think it should be legal to make blue/timer switchez be able to activate hydro manipulating eventz by sprucing the area up with eyecandiez.

Below is an example of a flooding water channel in a level I'm making.

cleared

flooded


Now if only there were some imagez of underwater thingz to make flooding look a bit more natural. (switchez, pyramidz, stairz..etc)
