Giving away keys to OTHER PEOPLE's levels

Archive: 5 posts


so, CENTURION24 has a little section in some of his levels that basically says "go play levels by these creators". A little endorsements thing. It's a comendable idea, but people are unobservant, have short attention spans are likely to forget who those creators were pretty quickly.

So what if you could give away a key to someone else's level? The player would get linked from your level to the level that was created by someone else.

How I see it working is:
Creator B creates an object with their key in it and puts it in a prize bubble
Creator B sends the object to creator A
Creator A publishes a level with creator B's key in it.
Player plays Creator A's level, picks up the key to creator B's level
Player finishes the level and gets taken to the endorsed level


(step 1 could be replced with creating a copyable level with the key in it)

I understand that MM want to have a "linking" feature at some point but they'll probably **** it up, and this could be a stopgap. It could be used for endorsements, "this level inspired me", or even a 40/60/80 level series!

Has anyone already done this yet? Anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't work. Anyone fancy testing it?

Can't you simply send a key to someone, but check it as "shareable"? I haven't tested this out, but it should work.2009-06-28 21:12:00

Youu can just send keys like any other object and it appears in the other persons key sectiopn of the poppit.

Problem is that keys to unlocked levels only highlight that you have other levels. And they only have an effect when you`re on that persons page (as opposed to say, cool levels) as you see the lines appearing when you exit the level. This couldn`t happen if it`s a key to someone else`s level.

Well... Apparently so. It's the default option.

So that makes the whole thing easier to do. But I wonder than why I've never seen it anywhere. Feels like a nice way to be going against the tide of people just ripping each other off in LBP. Especially for the "this level inspired me" idea...

Edit - Ahh, thanks Matt, I was wondering what would happen if you tried to link to someone else's level and you were on the creator's page. That kinda sucks

Well a key just gives you a picture appearing onscreen for a second or two. I could put all your level keys in my levels and no-one would be able to tell that they were yours and not mine. So I`d need to tell them that those keys were yours and then they`d still need to look you up via the search engine.

Unless there`s a feature that allows you to go straight to levels if you find a key in another loevel that I`m unaware of?

EDIT* Didn`t notice your edit
