Hi everyone, I was playing around on the infinite lives checkpoint level on creator pack 1 when I noticed this: YouTube - A look at Creator Pack 1 Go to about 00:30 and watch as the spikes come out on the right hand wall. See how they rotate 90 degrees before they start being pushed out? How did MM do this?? A piston will break if it is bent in any way without being non-stiff.

I think maybe this is just a regular LBP ability. Just attach the spike block to a small piece of thin or thick matter by way of one of the bolts, then have the piston move that piece of matter. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, thats me being stupid, you're right. It just looked like the piston was attached to the actual spike, but it is probably is indeed attached to a piece of matter behind the spike while also having an invisible motor attached to it. Thanks for the help, problem solved! =D

Yes, i was thinking the same thing, just attach the piston to a small, thin circle or something, and place the block with spikes in front of it with the wobble bolt, and there's your "rotating piston"

I still would like to know though how they got the spikey block to stop in the "flipped" position like they did. I don't think invisible matter could have been used in this case. My experiences with wobble bolts are that they cannot permanently flip like they do here... at least, not so cleanly like they show.

I think it must have been a wobble bolt set to direction, or something like that. - it would be some kind of permanent switch... If it was a motor bolt, it would have to have been set to stop when it turned around.

I do it with motor bolts all the time. I guess I never concidered it because the wobble bolt is already going in 2 directions if you know what I mean. But I guess maybe setting it to directional uses the arc as a start and end point (like a piston). thanks again dobi. Hopefully I'm on the right track because this sounds very useful.

Well, I now know that it works for certain, as I just did it today for the level I am working on... So that is how they must have done it.
