Looking to make a game with a slide...

Soriana · April 2021

Hey all! I have an idea for one of my houses of a giant, character sized game you play by sliding down something, bouncing off different objects, and landing in a numbered area for a prize (read giant plinko board game). Problem that I am having is everything I try to slide down ends up with your character sliding a couple of feet and then being bounced away from the slide.

Kind of defeats the purpose of being a sliding game if it is more falling/crashing than sliding. Any ideas what large pieces give the best sliding areas? I have tried the large Solitude floor and the large wooden planks. Both of them have the same issue.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

You can really only fall. You can try controlling the fall but can't really slide

Oh you can slide. There's multiple houses to check out that do this remarkably.

1 - @cardinal05 "Leap of Faith" house on NA stillwaters is a slide just like you are describing - using those roof things
2 - @trasse HOTLC NA Plink-o - this one you start at the top and it can randomly put you in different plinko tubes. Hard to explain unless you know what plinko is.
3 @tulien NA Murkmire water park, with MULTIPLE kinds of slides!

Someone else (I cannot recall) did a big slide one with ginormous mushrooms.

I did one (a waterslide) with orc tents, but I think the new solitude roofy things are better for it than tents.

Attached is a non-great pic of my waterslide, from the top.
