How to make a galaxy-warping launch star?

[chleskowitz]

Like the one seen in the template hack, how can I make a launch star that launches me to a different galaxy?

If you know how to make a normal Launch Star, do that.

Then, at some point along the Launch Star's path, place a SceneChangeArea.

That area will handle the warping part. To tell it where to warp you to, setup the ChangeSceneListInfo file inside the Map.arc (You can access this BCSV in Whitehole as well).

Once the BCSV is setup, you can set the Obj Arg 0 of SceneChangeArea to select which BCSV row you want to use (0 is the topmost row).

there's no SceneChangeArea.arc in ObjectData. Is it a normal object?

[SuperHackio]

It's an area, and thus, there is no .arc file for it.

You need to add SceneChangeArea as an area in whitehole, it should show up as a large, light blue outlined cube if done correctly.

Ok, fixed that, but now I'm getting a crash. I think it that I did something wrong in my ChangeSceneListInfo. Here:

If you get a crash, please provide the crash log!

If there is no crash log, then this is a Freeze. Freezes are most common when you forget to put something on your SD card. (such as a custom model)

Nothing looks wrong with your ChangeSceneListInfo. The only thing I can think of without a crash dump is that you forgot to register NormalGalaxy.

I did forget to register it, but I'm still getting a crash

[SuperHackio]

According to the LR Save, the problem is caused by a Launch star path inside NormalGalaxy. Perhaps you forgot to assign a path to a Launch star? (Launch Stars having paths is required for them to work.)

ok, I did that, but now when I enter the SceneChangeAre the game crashes. Here:

This is caused because the game Failed to read the ChangeSceneListInfo. Please make sure that it exists inside the map.arc, and contains the correct fields as listed in the ChangeSceneListInfo Wiki Page.
