- - - A Note From Gem - - -
I originally wanted the player to swim to other islands, however at the time I didn't know how to code the detection properly when the player is swimming or on land.
I ended up making a different system where there are bridges and slows the player down for not being on an island. I then had to painstakingly create an invisible wall system for every sub-level that worked perfectly
A while back when coding the targeting system for Honey & Pixie, I learned new group event techniques and recently I realised that I could use the same technique to make the swimming mechanic
