That was pretty badass

How long did the animation take? What programs did you use?

Ah, I see. So since I have a dynamic IP I'll need to do this periodically...

What, is it happening again?

Edit: I guess so

I'm 99.9% certain you need to add a "Trigger Once" condition to your event. It's under the System conditions.

If you still need help after trying that, I recommend you upload your .cap so someone can take a look.

"Rotate 360*TimeDelta degrees" will make a sprite rotate once per second.

This sounds like a feature request to have an option to make the 3D Box tileable. (Which I believe has been made at some point. A checkbox for "Repeat Texture" would work, and if unchecked it would just stretch like normal.)

As for making this without the 3D box... well, the Sprite has a skew action that you could use. But unfortunately the Sprite doesn't tile either. Then again, sprites are a lot less GPU intensive than 3D Boxes, and there's also talk of Z Depth options for sprites in the upcoming build, so that might make things easier.

My advice would be to use the 3D Box... but just make different sized boxes that you could use. Like, a 1x1x1, a 2x1x1, and a 4x1x1. That way you could manually make a repeating texture for the longer boxes. And having boxes that are 4 units long instead of 1 would take fewer boxes to build the levels you need, and having the smaller sizes will help fill in the details.

Here's another tip: For some reason having a lot of 3D boxes in your level will affect FPS even if they're not onscreen. Turning the visibility off on any boxes that are a little bit outside of the viewable area will improve performance a lot. This is something I discovered with Arsonide when I was helping him with his game.
