CREATE A TRANSFORM RACE

The Transform Race Creator expands upon the GTA Online Race Creator by adding new Props and new features, most notably the ability to use Transform Checkpoints. While the Transform Race Creator is functionally the same as the Stunt Race Creator, this section offers some general guidance and tips to get you started on constructing and sharing your very own Transform Races.

INTRODUCTION

To access the Transform Race Creator, enter the Pause menu screen and scroll down to select “Creator” then follow the prompts by selecting Create a Race > Stunt Race > Transform Race. Creating Transform Races follows the same framework as creating Stunt, Land, Air and Sea Races. Prerequisites include Race Details such as a race title, description, and photo.

You can also later change any race to a Transform Race, all you need to do scroll to “Change Race Type” found at the bottom of the Race Details menu and select “Change Race To Transform Race.”

You will need to define a Default Class and Vehicle that will start the race. Additionally, you will need to define a Transform Vehicle List that will be available throughout the race. Vehicles in this list can be set as Transform vehicles on checkpoints throughout the race. The model memory bar in the bottom right shows your current vehicle limit. Vehicles can be removed from this list using the Delete button.

Transform Races give access to Transform Checkpoints, Wrap Checkpoints, land, sea and air vehicles, as well as Air, Water, Underwater and Warp Checkpoints. For a detailed explanation of Race Details, visit the Social Club for the Race Creator Guide.

PLACEMENT

With Race Details in place, it’s time to start laying out your Transform Race course. In the Race Creator main menu, select “Placement”.

GTA Online Transform Races Creator 5

Like Race Details, placement prerequisites follow a similar format as creating any race. You don’t need to start your race in the vehicle selected in the vehicle selection screen, however the race needs to include at least one section that uses the default vehicles.

You’ll need to drop the race trigger, lobby camera, and checkpoints. From the placement menu, select the Props to tap into over 537 Stunt Props. You can place a maximum of 200 props per race.

NEW STUNT PROPS

Stunt Props are the building blocks that make Stunt Races and Transform Races a class of their own. New Stunt Props available include new Stunt Tubes and Dynamic Props, available across all race types. Additionally, enjoy an increased prop limit on races with this latest update to the creator. For a detailed explanation of Stunt Props, visit the Social Club for the Stunt Race Creator Guide.

STUNT TUBE

New Stunt Tubes added include the Extra Short Opaque and Straight Gap Opaque tubes. Use Stunt Tubes to enclose players and give them a 360° range of motion. Tubes can be connected to climb high into the air, circle skyscrapers, or create spiraling plummets. Connect tubes with tracks using the Track Tube Blend or Tube Entrance, add extra propulsion with the Tube Speed Boost, or use Tube Gaps to create obstacles.

DYNAMIC

The Dynamic Prop menu expands with new Stunt items as well. Add new Dynamic props such as the Sea-Mine (No Chain), Sea-Mine (Short Chain) and Sea-Mine (Long Chain).

NEW TRANSFORM RACE CREATOR FEATURES

In addition to the new Props and increased prop limit per race, there are new features like Transform Checkpoints, Warp Checkpoints and Underwater Checkpoints that offer new creative options and solutions for creators which are unique to Transform Races.

TRANSFORM CHECKPOINTS

You can now use the Transform Race Creator to add Transform Checkpoints. You are able to place Transform Checkpoints only after you have placed a starting checkpoint.

When placing a checkpoint, scroll down to Functionality then scroll right to Transform. Select the Transform Vehicle option listed, and from there you can scroll across and then select Add New Transform. Once you’ve selected this, you will get taken to a new menu Set Custom Transform Vehicle, there you can select the Transform vehicles for each checkpoint.

You can additionally set the state of the Transform vehicle for each Transform Checkpoint. For example, the Stromberg has a Submersible Mode which can be set on or off, and the Deluxo has various states between Hover, Drive Only, and Hover & Flight.

WARP CHECKPOINTS

Additionally, you can now use the Transform Race Creator to add Warp Checkpoints. Use these to teleport racers from one place to another.

You can place Warp Checkpoints in your Transform Races when choosing the option for checkpoint type in the menu: choosing from either Regular, Transform or Warp. Once you have placed the first Warp Checkpoint a blue dome appears, the second Warp Checkpoint which is the place the racer spawns have to be within the radius of the dome placed otherwise the checkpoint will not be valid.

UNDERWATER CHECKPOINTS

In addition to traditional above-water checkpoints, you now have the option of including Underwater Checkpoints in your Transform Races. Use these to create trap-infested deep-sea courses for racers. These are also available for Stromberg Races.

OTHER NEW FEATURES

A new Camera Angle has been added to allow players to angle further up, allowing easier position of props, or placing props underwater.

Players now have access to 200 props and 20 Dynamic props. New Props have been added to all Creators, including Stunt Tubes, Dynamic Props, and a Big Neon Arrow Category.

A number of new vehicles have been added to Combat, Special Race, Transform, and Assault Race types.

A new Path Recording feature has been added which allows players to begin, end, and clear “Recordings” of their movements as they drive around. This option is not available in Air Creator and Sea Creator.

Players have the option of more weather patterns.

PUBLISHING AND PLAYING

TEST

A complete test drive must be completed before you can save or publish your Transform Race. If any changes are made to the Race as you test it, then it must be tested from the beginning again. Transform Races need at least one section using the default vehicle (Lobby Vehicle) to be valid for test. Not until you have tested from the start to the finish line without making changes can the Race then be saved and published.

SAVE

Save your Race creation at any point and reload it to continue making improvements. Saved jobs must be published before they will be available on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

PUBLISH/UPDATE VERSION

Publishing your Race sends it to the Rockstar Games Social Club. You can publish your Race after completing your creation and successfully testing it from start to finish without making additional changes. It’s possible to publish your game without saving first, but it’s wise to also save a version of your creation. This double backup method makes it less susceptible to data loss. When you return to your Race to continue making improvements, you can load your Race from the published version of the Job on Social Club. Please note that making changes to the published version will reset all of the stats associated with your original job.
