My small Tutorial: Hoiks
Hoiks are an amazing thing found by ZeroGravitas, but sometimes it may be hard to understand HOW to make it. The purpose is known, but how to make it can be a challenge.
The red and blue arrows represent which direction the Hoiks that are made go.
The red arrow points right, while the blue points left. Follow the sloped blocks below them to understand which way is left and right for Hoiks.
In the second level with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, this area shows the steps to make a Hoik:
Step 1: Use a platform and a block of any kind, and place them next to each other on the ground.
Step 2: Slope the platform so its like stairs going right and up.
Step 3: Slope the block next to the just sloped platform to point up and left. By doing it this way, the slope will push you in the direction you want. In this case, it is Right.
Step 4: Slope ALL blocks after the first two, repeat with either a 1 block space between each sloped block, or all positioned next to one another. Both work, but having a space in between works just as good, and saves on block usage. Stop placing and sloping blocks where you wish to stop at.
MAKE SURE TO TEST IT! For left and right Hoiks, press the DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT keys TOGETHER to move into the Hoik and use it. If going LEFT, hold DOWN and LEFT keys, to use the left transit Hoik.
Vise versa also works. After you start using the Hoik and begin rapid transit, you do not need to press/hold any keys on your keyboard/mouse. The Hoik will move you FOR you
Finally in the third and fourth row are more Hoiks and a Distance counter. The Distance counter is set to 1-50 blocks in distance to show the scale of these example Hoiks.
Thank you very much, and have a wonderful day.
