Paper Mario side scrolling

I wan to make a game that uses a similar aesthetic environment to the Paper Mario series, specifically how you can move left an right like a traditional side scrolling game but your “path” moves you around in a 3D space.

I don’t mean how the player would move around in town or more open 3D spaces but rather how you can follow a straight line around an object.

The best example I can think of, in case I made no sense with my question, is a spiral staircase. Is there a specific tutorial I can find?

Hey Strawberrywrath,

Using your example, one way you could accomplish this is by locking the characters movement along a spline path while on the spiral staircase. Here is a forum post where users are discussing this setup.

I hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction.

Cheers,

TJ

Hey Tj

I’m pretty new to this engine and game making in general, also it’s nice to see staff members answering questions like how you have.

Thank you
