hey guys, curious on everyone's opinion on little animations after u fault in a track? do you guys find them annoying and a waste of time or do they give the track that little bit more and entertaining? im thinking about putting one in on my new track but unsure what everyone's take is on them? thanks in advance for anyone who wants to give their opinion cheers

id say theyre a good idea, if you have the time/complexity left to put them in.
they could get annoying if you were forced to watch them everytime, but if theres nothing to stop you pressing B and continuing anyway, then theres really no difference between having a fault animation and not having one

i think they are a good idea too as long as you are not forced to watch them. Personally i like the idea of just having them in certain areas, like have a different 1 down each hole or place you could die. just a couple dotted around kind of like little death pits

I try to do them all the time now..the more the better for me..its brilliant playing a track that has effort n time put into using animation..ive strarted using animation at the begining and end of my tracks,but also use it for kill/death cams too...

As long as they are in places that don't make sense like a flooring 1m below, i've made this terrible mistake before with Fail Areas.

Why not? It takes nothing away from your tracks. As a matter of fact it adds to it. However, most riders try to avoid faults, and may miss out on your hard work.
So feel free to be creative. Try new things.

Can somebody help with creating these fault animations? I can't figure it out...I'm pretty well advanced at track editor but cannot figure this out

i dont mind them in certain areas and there cool at the finish . but when there rammed in all over and the builder seems to have taken more time on them than the track its bad . plus i find they cause a slight lag if you fault .you press b but its like the animation wants to start . really annoying .use sparingly
