Emitter Engine Demo

Archive: 7 posts


I played eustoma's level "Emitter Engine", and decided to put it into practice.

In the level is a set of simple instructions, and a seemingly innocuous metal vent. The metal vent is actually the emitter engine. It is under the PSN BSprague, with the name "Emitter Engine Demo". The instructions in the level tell you how to use it, but just to reiterate.

To use:

Stand directly in front of the metal vent and jump. The space inside is small, so it may take a few jumps before you end up inside the metal vent. Once inside, push either left or right on the left stick and hold R1 to move. To come to a complete and sudden stop, push down on the left stick and push R1.

Notes:


This is just a demo, but it can have many useful applications in levels.
It is not very heavy on the thermometer.
If you want the object in the level, send me a PM.
If you smash into something very fast, it might burst into pieces and become unusable.
If you manage to get it in the air or at an angle, you can actually fly around with it stably.
Repeatedly pushing the brake while in the air will make the vehicle freeze in midair for a second.
It goes really fast.

cool little tech demo, though yours is a little fast lol. I'm kind of curious as to its uses though, could you elaborate a little?2009-06-24 05:51:00

I purposely made it fast, that's one of its benefits.

Uses and benefits:

Very fast and clean alternative to rockets, no smoke involved
Very stable and tweakable in many ways, as it is based off of emitters
Normal rocket-powered vehicles can't stop that abruptly, not as easily at least
Can be made infinitely small without problems
More powerful than rockets if needed
Can act as an alternative to wheels in the place of bolts or motor bolts
Very thermometer efficient
Can be adapted for easy and stable flight, a hard thing to do with rockets
Emitter puzzles requiring small moving objects
Make a levitation effect

And I forgot to mention, its really entertaining to just go very fast in one direction and then grab the other to watch yourself slow down and pick up in the other direction. Also, I don't know why, but I laugh when it stops, it just looks comical.
