Why do MM remove features like this. As you may well know, you can now only have a race gate that spans all three planes, which is pretty useless to me at the moment. I want to add race gates to the level, single plane, so that the player can activate them with a sticker second playthrough, like the MGS solid levels. However I never planned this from the start so would basically need to emit them. I'm 75% complete and don't want to start redesigning section this late on to accomadate three plane ones. So my question is kind people, has anyone captured a single plane start and end gate and if so can they send me a copy please??

I haven't, but maybe you could figure something out with the fact that it is gasifyable?

I really have no idea why this was taken out, it's gotta have been a mistake.

Sorry I can't help... but how do (or did) you make race gates single plane?

I think the standard plane shrinking/lengthening thing was available for race gates.

Yeah, using the R and L buttons you could change the thickness of the gates, MM in thier infinite wisdom removed it with Yarg, a pointless change to a useful thing, AGAIN. They amaze in me in their stupidity at times.

I remember reading that race gates on single layers have stopped working altogether, even in levels where they're already present! That was a bit cruel of Mm.

WOW I never even realised you could shrink them and only thought they were always 3 planes the whole time lol How could I have missed that :blush:

I remember reading that race gates on single layers have stopped working altogether, even in levels where they're already present! That was a bit cruel of Mm. Really? That's gonna mess up loads of levels But I don't see why they would take this feature out? They used it in their own levels.

I remember on some levels I made way back that the race-gate START could be changed to a single plain object, but the race-gate END never could. I can't get on LBP right now to see if this is still the case.

What the schmuck.... if it really did break all the levels with it you might not want it until they put it back in anyway Grantos, but I'm sure I have at least a single layer race end I can send you if you'd like... in that same level I forgot to make the race begin one layer (or was it the other way around) On another I might have either 1 layer or 2 layer gates. Interested?

I think i have some as well in an storage level, i'll have to check on later, tho for what i've been reading, they're pretty much usless now aren't they?

Unhearted: Drakes Misfortune actually used the gates, but they are sunk in the floor, and therefore hard to get out and copy. I hope they hav'nt stopped them working, that will wreck a LOT of levels. @Silverleon and Foofles, send me anything you got, the new level will be ready tomorrow if I can get my hands on what I need. Ive got my fingers crossed they will work. Ive spent all day making a hardcore version of the level as an option and will be gutted if all my hard work has gone to waste. I basically need to emit them regardless, I might copy the level and try and re-work it. :gulp:

I've managed to pull some from an earlier level of mine, and I can confirm, after tests they do indeed still work. Woot!

I was wrong, my race gates are all the "2 layer" variety, but it sounds like you got covered already. Want the 2 layer ones anyway?

WOW I never even realised you could shrink them and only thought they were always 3 planes the whole time lol How could I have missed that :blush: I was with Dorien here, but I rarely use race gates anyway so I guess that I wouldn't notice. A bit of a decent glitch to miss though........:blush:

I dont think you can shrink them to 1 plane. it would be a silly glitch anyway

CnP, the whole point of this thread was asking for one that had been shrunk to 1 plane, before it was fixed! You used to be able to, but CY "fixed" this.

So is your problem solved Grantos? I have a one plane Race start if ever you need it. .

Yeah send me them Foofles, I'll stick them in a level and keep them in-case anybody needs them in future. That way we've got single and double gates. So is your problem solved Grantos? I have a one plane Race start if ever you need it. Yes I totally forgot I used them in a previous level, it took some destruction to get them out but I got them, a single plane start and end gate. Thanks for the help everyone.

So you're gonna make a hardcore version of the Mexico level? Good call, it is kinda easy ATM.

I would REALLY love a single plane race gate if anyone can send me one, it would make me so unbelievably happy. I really need one for my Hedge Maze level, there is a section where my level is only a single plane thick and the starting gate sticks out and looks really bad. I had no idea this glitch existed, and now that it's been fixed I can't recreate it If you can help me I would be eternally grateful!

It wasn't a glitch. I think the fact it doesn't work anymore is a glitch though.

I have a a single plane start and end. I'll send you them cheesymcfly. The hardcore version is done and added. I need to finish one section and the levels is ready

It's ready? o.O Already? How the hell do you work that fast?

I have a a single plane start and end. I'll send you them cheesymcfly. Awesome! I knew there was a reason you were my favourite LBP creator! (Well apart from the obvious reason, which is that you make awesome levels )

I have made a little discovery, if you have an old scalable race gate you can scale it to however you want. If anyone wants a 2 or 1 layer race gate I have them saved too, I'll back it up to my HDD.

To settle ALL disputes: 1) The race gates WERE changeable in thickness, it was NOT a glitch. 2) CY (Cornish Yarg Patch) REMOVED this FEATURE from the game.

I never knew about you being able to scale them if you had an older copy Foofles. Nice find. I've also sent you the race gate cheesymcfly
