Hi all

Is there a comprehensive list of settings that might need to be changed for a 2d game?

This link;
http://orkframework.com/tutorial/howto/2d-games/

Gives some insight, but there are SO many settings to go through. (Perhaps a feature request could be a global settings search rather than per-page).

Currently when I go left and right my character disappears, which I'm assuming is because the character is moving on the wrong axis.

Hello!

Are you using the built in character controller? Cause that was the first thing I found out while learning to use Ork to work in 2D. You have to build your own or use one someone else already made.

P.S. I would second something like the global search thing. Or even a toggle that once set, switches everything for you, lol.

I am using the default controller, yes. Any suggestions on alternative (third party) ones?

I've slightly updated the how-to, as the Ignore Y Distance settings have already been replaced by Ignore Height Distance settings, which can also be used in 2D games (and depend on Horizontal Plane settings).

I'd say that over 99% of the settings in ORK have nothing to do with 2D or 3D games. You'll mostly only need to keep eye out for position/movement related settings, e.g. each Move AI has an individual Horizontal Plane setting.

And, yeah, as the how-to said - you'll need to use custom player/camera controls.

Thanks.

Feel free to add global search to the to-do list.

I have always hard coded my own 2d character controllers. Are you doing a top down 2d game? If so, this would likely be useful to you:
