sort of done

Ok, the new update is up (but not entirely finished). With Thailand jail and the length of time this took, it's actually been a long while since my last update to the game. Sorry about that.
The update is a new tool that you can use to trigger events during gameplay. The player rides through a trigger area, and various things are activated. Right now you can either activate an object or play a sound.
In most cases, activating an object is waking it up if it's in a sleeping state. Certain special items have more useful activations. Mines will explode and boosts and fans will turn on. You currently cannot decide what the activation will be; you are given a default action. I will change that with a future update... I ran out of time and only thought of it halfway through developing. It'd be cool if rather than just waking up a shape, you could make it appear, disappear, set it to a fixed or non-fixed state, give it a certain velocity, fade in/out, blah blah blah.
If you choose to play a sound effect instead, you don't attach the trigger to any other objects. You just select the sound, and set the volume and panning. With proper use of delay, you can probably make some horrible songs from various screams. Now you can hear "oh my leg!" until it's unbearable (if it's not already).
I do plan on adding ambient sounds but ran out of time today. I will work on that first thing next week. Going through various sound libraries and setting up loops is longer and more tedious than expected.

thank you jim

Thanks Jim for your continued support for the game! This new tool should hopefully have a few people make cool maps (only about 10 people who play Happy Wheels make good levels).
I just hope it isn't 'abused' by idiots who will spam sounds and stuff.
Thanks again Jim! All non-noob users, prepare for the character suggestion spam!

By CAPSlock3R1 on Jul. 7th, 2012 12:56AM
Thanks, Jim! Actually, "Oh my leg!" is one of my favorite things about Happy Wheels so this is absolutely terrific for me! Thank's again, Jim. :)

THanks,this would be f*cking awesome,but we must take care because plazma burst use trigger in level editor too,now i finally can make some great things!!
By Foggy Red Lights on Jul. 7th, 2012 11:18AM
Real nice update. I started a song with so far, only eight triggers.
By salad fury on Jul. 7th, 2012 11:45AM
thanks jim, i hope its gonna inspire people to quit making those crappy sword throw levels and pogo 99% impossible jumping level crap
By The Amoeba on Jul. 7th, 2012 12:06PM
You went to jail?
By Bert on Jul. 7th, 2012 1:31PM
I thought of an evil, yet hilarious plan!
Since all these dumb noobs believe ANYTHING Jim says, Jim should troll in news posts, by saying stuff like a zombie apocalypse caused the delay & other stuff like going to a Mexican jail for not cleaning the floor good enough.
And another one that'd be so hilarious I'd piss myself: Jim saying he added Skateboard Kid who is voiced by PewDiePie (he's a faggot), just imagine the billions of noob comments screaming "WARE DO I FIND SCATBORD KID?".
Since 95% of members here are under 12, people that age think anything on the Internet is real.
By cudi_budi on Jul. 7th, 2012 1:37PM
I can see it now
sound levels
sound levels everywhere
By pewdieguy on Jul. 7th, 2012 1:39PM
I thought of this!!!! where you can make sounds come up i made a level saying this!!! you can look it up search pewdieguy and view my levels and it is on there. trust me i can prove it
By Facundito on Jul. 7th, 2012 1:54PM
hey im surprised the low ammount of comments this had... great update, btw. its very useful!!
By Colbster of tha roof on Jul. 7th, 2012 3:27PM
Hey,I Know nobody will pay any attention to this but I have ideas for some updates on happy wheels!
1.Make A Character Who Has No Vehicle(He Just Runs)
2.Make Some New Hazards Like New Explosives & Guns
3.Make A Charecter With A Jet Pack!
4.Make Jim as A Character!
5.Make Flaming Arrow Guns(The Character Lits On Fire When Shot)
6.Make Water (that way the character can be put out)
7.Make A Setting On Nonplayable characters Wher They Can Walk !
So Thanks If You Read This & I Hope These Are Some Updates!!!!!
By I8ursister on Jul. 7th, 2012 3:45PM
It think the trigger tool effected previous levels. After it was released the vans in previous levels became Non interactive. Does jim know anything about this.
By Bert on Jul. 7th, 2012 3:46PM
@Colbster of tha roof, you're right, nobody wants to pay attention to your dumbass post.
You Also Don't Need To Type Like This, moron.
I hate noobs who barge in here and assume Jim does whatever they ask and that it's that easy to make.
Oh, and the top played for the day today are pathetic, a dumb 'jump over a wall' level is at the top! Seriously, this is beyond pathetic!
By Foggy Red Lights on Jul. 7th, 2012 4:19PM
I just finished my crappy music level. I almost threw my laptop across my room when it got two zero ratings. But then it ended with, like, almost a four rating? Its okaay I guueeesssss.
By argilouer on Jul. 7th, 2012 5:00PM
i, like many other Happy Wheelers, am not able to get to the actual game. it is stuck on the ad screen, with no ads coming up. PLZ HELP

PLEASE JASon can you make a new npc
By ms63129 on Jul. 7th, 2012 8:12PM
I know you probably have other things to do and it costs money to upgrade servers, but how long will it be before this is fixed (the previous post said over the weekend, meaning last weekend)?
MYSQL error:
Try hitting refresh in a bit.
[b]We plan on updating the servers as soon as possible.[/b]
(and of course the game freezing when loading/saving levels/replays, with no way to cancel except reload)
By LWPeterson on Jul. 7th, 2012 8:28PM
Dang it now I have to send tons of noobs messages about their ideas. Also just updated my site! [url]http://tjftutorialsandwalkthroughs.webs.com[/url]
By Foggy Red Lights on Jul. 7th, 2012 8:53PM
I doubt supmover knows that you can't play with the NPC version of a character or what an NPC even is at all.

NEW CHARACTERS!
By Jward99 on Jul. 7th, 2012 9:42PM
Jim, You're cool. Thanks for making happy wheels. You are amazing.
Love,
SomonewhoDOESNOTFAPTOYOU O.o
By MYMOM234 on Jul. 7th, 2012 10:29PM
damn you bert, i better be one of those ten people.....
Thank you Jim, for making it a whole lot easier for noobs to spam "oh my leg" without using the 24 shapes for an NPC and 2 shapes for a blade weapon. Now they can do the same thing with one shape.
The sound-activating part of the trigger tool is cool, but other the other parts just fucked up the mechs i took FOREVER to make. Now i can replicate that "FOREVER" within a few seconds.
Overall, the new tool rewards mediocre editors with the ability to do things that only advnced editors could previously do. So this will either fuck the level browser up a ton with "LOOK I CAN MAEK OH MY LEG PEEWDEEPII ALOT" or it could benifit the HW community by making editing easier for beginners. So, to the latter, thank you Jim, for the former, FUCK, FUCKING FUCK OH WHY.
SO WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST FUCKING SAY. IM NOT EVEN SURE ANYMORE.
By daltyn on Jul. 7th, 2012 10:44PM
The new update is good but add more chractors and weapons and we waited to long for the update who thinks the same all that he added was triggers for level makeing.
