3D RACER SYSTEM FOR GAME MAKER STUDIO 2

This is a project template for Game Maker Studio 2 for 3D sprite based racing games. What some call the "mode-7" style.

This template covers the harder parts of designing games like this, and the following properties are provided:

1. 3D projection and camera system
2. 3D track creation 
3. 360 Degrees background visuals in the distance
4. Waypoint and laps calculations
5. High speed collision system 
6. Rank sorting
7. Movement (no backwards drive - shift L/R possible)
8. Driving in the wrong direction negatively affects ranking
9. Flowmap guidance for npc racers
10. Race countdown and end conditions + final ranking

Setting up a track should be fairly easy:

1. Draw the track on a tilemap
2. Draw the collision tilemap for it
3. Place flowmap instances across the entire track
4. Create a path asset on the track
5. Create the finish line objects
6. Place the racers at the start

Creating waypoints on the track is as easy as creating a path (using a path asset) on a path layer. The system then loops through that path and handles the placement of the waypoints for you.

All code commented.

What is not included:

Menu system, save/load system,... 

This template only covers the hard-to-figure-out basics that are essential to start out with. The project is designed around the single demo race in the template.

CONTROLS;

W = drive forward
A/D = turn
S = brake
left/right arrow = shift left/right
P = pause
F = full screen / windowed

LEGAL:
You can make any commercial or non-commercial game with this, as long as you don't resell the template by itself. No credit is needed but I would appreciate it.
