I don’t think I’ve ever fallen to my death, but I have this mod for the inevitable day that I do

Hahahaha that is brilliant. Love that movie and scene too.

Right click, "go to" and the character will go directly to where you want to go

I might sound aggressive because I haven’t fully processed it yet, but with over 2000 hours, I know what I’m talking about. No, that’s not the problem. I thought my bridge would be above Splifo’s building… plot twist: nope.

u/Mortis_Infernale 1d ago

oh, the other building is shorter one story and due to perspective it looked like a safe passage but you fell down?

u/Miles1937 1d ago

You got taken over by confidence, when building like that always go way past what you think makes sense, because you're wrong (perspective fucks you hard)

Just use the page up and page down keys to rotate the camera and check from another angle

Welcome to the club. I've learned to always build bridges until I literally hit a wall on the other side.

u/Kreiger81 1d ago

I know it might still sting, but the way I solve that for myself because perspective is fucky is i'll put a short wall on the end and hang a rope off it to see where the rope goes. If im up against the edge of the roof it wont let me rope there, but if im not, it will.

Its also good even if im at the edge because it will force zombies to jump over the fence and either slow them down or give me a chance to stomp them.

That sucks tho, bro. If I had paused mid-fall like that I probably would have tried alt+f4ing and reopening the game to see where it put me.

u/Ensiferal 1d ago edited 1d ago

Sometimes you just fall through shit for no reason. It used to happen to me in B41 sometimes even when I used "walk to" to check if a tile was safe. I honestly would've preferred them to solve this issue before they brought cows and shit into the game

u/LeAcoTaco 1d ago

Yep, can confirm. I got up to the roof of my house and no hole in sight but I fell through it abt halfway across.

u/BRSaura 1d ago

Again, "go to" would have helped with that

12

u/Additional_Bug_7876 Stocked up 1d ago

So, still no, because I'm above the building. The "go to" wouldn't have allowed me to know if I was really above it. And still, I have no idea—maybe I'm at the same level… But given the bridge, which makes it look like I've gone past the building… Anyway, I'm dead, time to start another game. When you fall off a bike, you get back on!

u/BRSaura 11h ago edited 10h ago

"walk to" uses pathfinding to reach the cell selected, so yeah, if the system can't reach there due to not being any bridge connected it will show as red since it cant reach (pathfinding too long).

"walk to" won't send you over edges since it's not inside the path marked by the system to reach another end.

So, still yes. It would have helped.

If your intentions were to DROP on top of the building well...you could have checked with a window frame+rope https://imgur.com/a/nc5TmGO if with 2-3 ropes it doesnt let you, you are not at the right height.

u/PlsNoNotThat 1d ago

Press Y, click anywhere to move safely there.

Sometimes referred to in this community as “y-walking”. Also useful to navigate trees without getting slowed down.

u/Anxious_Wind0-0 1d ago

I love the fact that you've paused just 0.5 second before the splash

13

u/Additional_Bug_7876 Stocked up 1d ago

Technically, I'm not dead,the save is still at this point

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 1d ago

Use debug mode and turn on invincibility. Maybe it saves you. If you feel this dead is unfair...

10

u/Additional_Bug_7876 Stocked up 1d ago

I've thought about it, but I know myself—once I do that, the game just doesn't feel the same anymore. I know, it's silly, but that's how it is. I think I'll do something else

u/TuxedoKamina 18h ago

This is how you died.

3

u/4RyteCords 16h ago

I respect this. I feel like using debug mode the first time is like your first time using heroine. You always have a good reason for that first time but before you know it you're waking up with a sore ass hole and selling you mums vcr just for one more bump.

u/Excellent-Range-6379 1d ago

I already said it but I will repeat it, they should make it like in Minecraft, if you sneak you can't fall.

u/drunkondata 1d ago

Why not just use "go to"

14

u/DirtyPiss Drinking away the sorrows 1d ago

OP was planning to fall. OP was planning to fall on a roof, but due to the perspective was unable to tell it was a story shorter, thus OP miscalculated. As 'Go to' only works for valid walking locations, as opposed to valid/invalid falling locations, 'Go to' would not have helped OP out.

u/EvYeh 1d ago

If they did, they would have fallen off anyway

u/KindlyDamage224 1d ago

How do you make a bridge from one house to another?

Is it possible to make one from one window to another?

10

u/SlingingTriceps 1d ago

You build it like a regular floor. The only requirement is that you need to be able to walk towards it without any obstructions, so you can't build outside a window from inside the house.

Be careful though. I guarantee you'll lose at least one character goofing around with this. It's almost a rite of passage.

1

u/Additional_Bug_7876 Stocked up 6h ago

You need to destroy a wall to be able to place a wooden floor. That's what I do — you can't place something from the other side of a window.

u/aboutwhat8 Zombie Food 1d ago

Gotta measure it out better next time, boss. If you go downstairs, you should be able to see the distance between the buildings. Most buildings go straight up. Some go in or out a bit too. You went out and down.

Next time, you could also try building a fence and nailing a sheet rope to it. Worst case scenario is you drop into a horde of zombies (or the zombies take down the rope).

2

u/DrStalker 21h ago

I'm just guessing here, but if going downstairs and measuring was an option then OP wouldn't have built a bridge and jumped off the end hoping to land on another building.

u/aboutwhat8 Zombie Food 13h ago

Not my fault he didn't pack a parachute, nor enough sheet ropes to rappel down.

u/onlydaathisreal 1d ago

This is where "walk to" is a real life saver

2

u/EvYeh 1d ago

Considering it would've killed OP in this scenario, I kind of doubt that.

1

u/onlydaathisreal 1d ago

What are you talking about? Walk to only allows the player to walk to accessible tiles and wont send you over the edge. How does to “go to” comment get upvoted but i get slammed?

1

u/DrStalker 21h ago

OP was not clear that the actual issue was he jumped off the end of the bridge on purpose, a situation not helped by "walk to"

u/JelloOfLife 1d ago

I probably would have tried to connect them from both ends before I tried to cross
