    Is it possible to make a moving shark?

    I've never made a track before, but had this idea because you have levels with obstacles submerged under water now. The idea is the whole track is based in water, with you racing along objects that represent a shipwreck. All the time there is a shark fin just behind you, and if you don't keep riding fast the shark will jump our of the water and knock you in.

    Is that possible with the editor?

    Sounds like an ace idea!

    How about using several different events along the course to represent the movement of a single shark. By this I mean the shark wouldn't have to be a permanently visible object, but could pop in and out of the scene at different times, creating the illusion of an ever present character (but it's actually 4-5 separate sharks). This would make scripting each event easier (ie, shark raising out of water, shark shooting across water), on their own merits.

    PS. I've not looked, but is there even a shark in the level editor? Creating that will be your challenge lol

    everything you see in the game can be made with the editor so objects in the water too

    it wont be the easiest thing to start with though because the shark will give you a hard time with the programming and the track wont be the easiest thing to make

    It's certainly possible. But it sure as hell wouldn't be easy. Good luck if you give it a shot though

    I'd say the best way would be to build your shark and then animate it with object position events.
    You need to check Shogun's tutorial on it
