Apologies if this is common knowledge, couldn't see it posted anywhere. I was messing about in create yesterday when I noticed a small block of metal I'd left sitting on a platform kept falling off without me touching it. Was trying to figure out what was going on when I noticed my sackgirl was slowly sliding along the platform too but a couple of mm above the floor. Basically the stationary piston that was holding up the platform from above, was set far too long and was forcing the platform into a layer of dark matter beneath it making everything above it hover sideways. When I shortened the piston just enough to stop the hovering I noticed my jumps had almost doubled in height! I've managed to recreate it in an empty level, so it definitely wasn't a one off. Reckon it could be useful for easy conveyor belts too, although I haven't worked out what determines the direction the objects hover in yet.

Cool!! thanks for sharing! Hmmmm... that could be kinda cool like for doing a cheapie moving sidewalk as well as superman jumps. Do you have this published anywhere so we can take a look? If not.. not a biggie as I can play with it sometime on my own. Thanks again!

making everything above it hover sideways Good gracious! This has happened to me a few times - I thought it was something to do with my controller thumbstick sticking, so I bought a new one! :blush:

Ok, just uploaded a super fast copyable demo on my other half's PSN, as it's really crap and I don't want it on my profile lol. Just made it to demonstrate to you guys. Feel free to 1 star and rubbish tag it lol. PSN: Matsubishi2 Level: Super jump The first platform is the jump, the second is the hover. If anyone wants to make a proper demo go right ahead, I can't really be bothered. @MrsSB I think the controllers do that anyway, I'm always finding my sackgirl back at the start gate when I'm creating lol.

It's a stiff piston with equal min and max length. Just keep gradually increasing the minimum length to just before it breaks the platform. The level's copyable anyway, so you could have a look in create.

Maybe that's how you jump higher in Eustoma's "Phosphorescence" level... Nice find.
