How to Make a Track with Line Rider Maker

If you're new to creating tracks in Line Rider Maker, it's essential to understand how to navigate the interface and use its various tools effectively. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of making a track, highlighting key features and providing tips to help you improve your skills.

Counting Lines: The Starting Point

The first thing you need to know is that Line Rider Maker displays the number of lines in your track at the top right corner of the screen. You can move this counter by holding down the D key and dragging it with your mouse. This indicates where LR will start its path, automatically placing itself above your first line.

Drawing Scenery Lines

To draw scenery lines, simply click and hold where you want the lines to be. This process is similar to drawing in any other drawing program, such as Paint. If you want to draw de-acceleration lines, hold down the shift key while drawing the line. For acceleration lines, just draw them like normal ones.

Customizing Line Direction

If you want to change which direction makes which line, hold down the shift key while making the line. This allows you to create upside-down lines by moving from right to left. Most of your track will likely consist of these types of lines.

Normal Line Tool

The normal line tool is one of the most commonly used tools in Line Rider Maker. You can use it with either the Pencil or Line tool (numbers 1 and 2). To draw a normal line, simply hold your mouse and move from left to right, then let go.

Trash Can Button: Clearing Your Track

The trash can button allows you to clear your track and get rid of everything. Make sure to save your track if you want to keep it, as you cannot save tracks with no lines.

Save Button: Preserving Your Masterpiece

You can save your tracks by clicking the save button. This way, you can come back to them later or share them with others.

Play and Stop Buttons

The play button starts your track, while the stop button takes you from play mode to editing mode. You can also press the space bar to start the track while having any other tool selected.

Hand Tool: Navigation

The hand tool allows you to move around your track by holding down the mouse button. If you want to play the track with the same zoom as editing mode, hold the shift key and press the play button at the same time.

Eraser Tool: Removing Lines

The eraser tool lets you erase individual lines by holding down the mouse button while moving over them.

Line Snapping: Stopping Line Movement

If you want to stop line snapping, which is when your next line starts from the last one, hold down the S key while drawing lines.

Line and Pencil Tools: Drawing Straight and Free Lines

The line tool lets you draw straight lines from point A to point B, following the path your mouse takes. The pencil tool allows for free drawing of lines. With these tools, you can create a wide range of tracks and designs.

By mastering these tools and techniques, you'll be well on your way to creating amazing tracks with Line Rider Maker. Happy creating!
