my submission for the LBP2 contest

 

[deadnoob]

Does anyone know if there is a way to have a single destroyer get rid of multiple parts of an object? I have something I built that I want to be completely destroyed, but with the way I'm doing it, only a single part (the part with the destroyer) gets destroyed.

Ahh, so that's what that does! Thank you!

 

[donkey show]

Some of the attacks look really nice like the fire sword and the giant beam at the end.

I actually think a character like that would be good for a 2p vs. shmup like Senko no Ronde or Vorpal. The moves seem attuned to a fighter although obviously for a fighter there'd need to be balancing stuff.

Thanks man, and totally agreed. I created this thing in line though with a musou-esque type of level, but all of it can easily be applied to the types of games you mentioned. I did want to make something similar to Gundam VS eventually, but thankfully the logic set I've created with this again transfers nicely to types of games with heavy gameplay mechanics.

btw, do you think it's possible in the LBP2 engine to make zero shift teleport dashing like the emergency step dashes in Gundam Musou?

Funny you should ask. I emulated the zero shift in the beta, so emergency dashes like in GM3 are totally possible.

MediaMolecule wants some saves of profiles that have the naux glitch or the other one where you can't move the sackboys head. They are testing some fixes and want to see if they work.

Full post:

Hi all - we have a fix for the naux glitch / broken sackboy and we need some profiles affected by it to test it on.
I'm talking about the bug where sackboy's head goes sideways and can't be moved about with the analog sticks, and he can't swim any more!

if you have this or something similar on a profile, please email the profile over to hello@mediamolecule.com, or upload it somewhere and send us the link

thank you

Question about how a powerup would work.

Say I have a sackbot pick up a powerup that was emitted. How do I have that emitted powerup actually enable a button on the controlinator? I'm guessing some kinda wireless logic, but I haven't touched the stuff yet.

My assumption would be that powerups have tags that correspond to tag sensors on the controlinator. Have the tag sensor turn on a timer. Hook the button and timer to the powerup logic through an and gate. You could find a way to have taking a hit cause the timer to reset and turn off the power, or make it a timed powerup by having the tag sensor also turn on another timer that activates the reset after a set time.

When the controlinator gets close enough to the tag, the timer will fill up and turn the tag on. Then the powerup will happen when you press the button.

Not quite how I want it to work.

Powerup appears, a player (whose actually just remote controllinator) can touch it and it disappears, causes an effect to happen which might not necessarily be on themselves.

My head not working to do anyone know best way of make buttons one press and stop any more inputs? aka stop them from pressing a button over and over making them fly?

OR Loopback - OR gate with output going back into the input

I fiddled around with Create mode this weekend and published my first LBP level. It's a shooter test level with the Big Core enemy of the Gradius series. I got it working in two days, but it's not polished yet. The energy core is too hard to hit in its present state, I'd like to tighten up its movement speed and the speed and firing rate of its projectiles, and add some details like sound effects and making the energy core turn red as it takes damage. But it's working and this is as far as I got with it before my work week starts again tomorrow, and hopefully I can work on it more later. Here's a link to the level:

Urg - I'm trying to make a DCS sackbot move in discrete amounts but need it to be pixel precise and it's just not working - not sure if it's the acceleration/deceleration or walking through holo stuffing it up or what - have 2 timers (+ just put a counter in between to try and get a solid 1 into the movers but hasn't seemed to have made any difference). Any ideas?

Thinking I should just use sprites on holograms with emitters to create new sprite and destroy old sprite with each move then I can at least get the accuracy.
(for reference trying to redo my boulderdash level in LBP2)

A sequencer with a mover that has 100% acceleration/deceleration sounds like what you are looking for. I was able to get pixel precise movement with a block using this method.

Cool that's a bit better as I can get finer control - also seems to help if I stick the DCS on a bit of holo with a tag then get the sackbot to follow it ... still not quite what I'm after but will keep fiddling with it

When the beta ended I had 2 small grid block-wide movements perfect for side to side and jumping. Was working on 1 block but worked on other stuff as the beta was ending.

Pretty cool drawing Jump_Button! I just started my drawing. I'm using a screenshot of my character to draw it and then I will add a bit of background based on the level I'm working on

After i'm done I will obviously delete the in-game screenshot and add some decoration.

BTW the original size is 5760x3240 pixels

Newer version:

Edit 2 - Even newer version

Edit 3 - And a small color correction done afterwards, that I forgot to post..

Finally Aced and collected everything in the game. Now I can finally play other people's levels without worry.

I'm currently working on my first level. It's a deep sea exploration level where you take control of a submarine. At the moment I've only really finalised the mechanics of the sub and made a few fish, but the fish don't move yet. The submarine has a claw mechanism that drops down when L1 is held and retracts when L1 is released. The claw grabs stuff with R1, but I haven't worked out what I'm going to use it for in my level. The right stick moves the claw, while the left stick controls the sub. X can be pressed to make the sub go faster, while O fires torpedoes (naturally). Hopefully I haven't got too much stuff going on. The pictures are from an earlier version; there are now many more lights (including one on the claw) so things are easier to see.

The plan is to have some kind of multiplayer, possibly multiple submarines at once (distinguished by different coloured lights). Anyway, my question is this; see that big ass fish in the image below? I was wondering what the best way was for the fish to rapidly stick out its tongue in the direction of a submarine when it got within a certain range, then pull the tongue back when it has attached to the sub (I made the tongue sticky) and close its mouth. So far I've tried pistons/winches, but because the tongue is segmented it goes all over the place. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Played a few more story mode missions last night with the wife. Fun stuff, but I have the feeling playing this that I did with the first; it constantly feels like I'm not having as much fun as I should.

Whether it be getting stuck momentarily in the background when I should be in the foreground, jumping into an object instead of on top of it once or twice before clearing the jump.. Its like a death by a thousand cuts. Halfway through each level I'm just ready for it to be over.

Fortunately with the enhanced craleation tools I will get a lot more fun than the firs with user made levels. Some of the stuff I've already seen has been great.

Have you tried using a Follower on the end of the tongue with a tag on the sub.

My copy of lbp2 hasn't arrived yet so i'm catching up on user levels from lbp1. When lbp1 came out, i gave up on user content early on, primarily because it was difficult to find levels. However, i'm glad i gave this another go because there are some awesome user created levels. I'm impressed. Seems a lot easier to find them too. Find one good level, look at the author, look which levels and authors this author has hearted,... and you end up with a good amount of great levels in your queue, ready to be played.

I'm excited about lbp again and i can't wait to play lbp2, both story and user created content. I might even have a go at trying to create a level.

I was talking with someone last night about how you would make ChuChu rocket in LBP. I've never played the game but BeatBox keeps going on and on about it. It has to possible though after some of the games I've seen. Just things like powerups and difficulty settings on some of these small games is impressive as hell.

The editor is amazing. Having the microchip feature makes pretty much anything possible.

The ridiculous thing is my level uses like 15% of the level complexity cap. lol

The easiest way to find stuff you're missing is to see which ones they are before you load the level by using square and looking at the level's collectables. There are ten per row so if you're missing the eighth one on the second row, you need #18. Then look at the comments for the level, and generally people will already be asking where that particular thing is, and other people will be answering them. It's almost like a built in guide.

They're griefing, not good griefing. An unfortunate clash of terms.

I suspect it's something along the lines of "placing a decoration in a guest pod which breaks it"
