Fake Items by warlord_evil From description: You can put these fake items in your levels to trick players. Items include checkpoints, bombs, race gates, and more. The items in this level look very similar to the real ones. Take a look for yourself! (The screen shots don't show all the items.) Infinite Lives Checkpoint http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/warlord_evil/APhoto_4-1.jpg Impact Explosive http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/warlord_evil/APhoto_5-1.jpg Race Gates http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/warlord_evil/APhoto_6-1.jpg Close-Level Post http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/warlord_evil/APhoto_7-1.jpg Scoreboard http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/warlord_evil/APhoto_8-1.jpg What you basically do in the level is push the right button for which item is fake. If you answer it right, you can get that fake item, if you answer wrong, you get a mouthful of horrible gas. The items include all the checkpoints, all the bombs (excluding missiles), a close-level post, race gates (beginning and end), and a scoreboard. (I think that's all the items.) The items may easy to tell apart in this level, but if a player runs by a fake item, they may be tricked easily. (I think I tricked myself once.)

Yeah, interesting level. Can't really think of any uses for them, but fun to look at.

You forgot the invisible wall for the close level gates. I was trying to get a better look at them, and the one I stepped on activated Good items, they'd be great if you want to disappoint people on your levels.

Yes! More fake things. I'll try this. And you're amazing at copying things. I can't even tell which is real or fake on the infinite checkpoints.

How'd you do this? Its amazing, not like the other fake items one.

I can see this being used in a level such as "The Unfair Platformer", especially that Infinite Life Checkpoint, very convincing.

Very nice. The checkpoint is the best in my opinion.

Now that's some authentic looking fakes.

I'll have to check this out when I play in a bit. From the pictures posted here, I must agree, they are very convincing. Fake items fill me with humorous thoughts, lol. Can't wait to play the level.

It's kinda obvious. The sticker isn't aligned properly. Overall, it's still good.

It's kinda obvious. The sticker isn't aligned properly. Overall, it's still good. Which object?

Gotta play this one! The objects look really good! I've played in and collected all of the objects. The objects look very much like their actual counterparts and a rushing Happy Gadder will bound to mistake them for the real thing! The presentation for the level was nice as well! Unlike just dishing out prizes, the player had to actually choose the fake object, showing its usefulness to the gadder in the level itself!

I played your level, and I was very impressed by the quality of the fakes. They were quite convincing. Also, I agree that the choosing in order to get the prize was a nice touch. Rather than being a run-through level, people actually have to look and decide which they think is the fake. It was fun to play, and I plan on bringing some friends to play it soon. Great job!

That level looks awesome! I'll have to check it out!

I added two new items, a Fake Sackboy and a Fake Sackboy (sitting version). They're more of cutouts, and the Fake Sackboy (sitting version) uses the Sackboy arms and legs decorations from the Monster Kit. You can find these items near the end of the level in between the wooden blocks.

Very good reproductions! The scoreboard is impressive!

Very well done, it was interesting playing your level. Here's how I figured out a few of the fakes though- The fake checkpoints have white outlines, but should have black until you've walked past them. I think changing them to the black outline would make them much more convincing. The close level post's box around the sign was a little too thin on the fake version. The box explosive was a little thinner than the real, and the impact had far more spikes than the real one. Though, I agree the fakes were excellent reproductions. If they weren't sitting next to the real thing, I probably would have been fooled by any of them. Excellent work! My F4F level- Revenge Explored Part 1: The Deception - Shredder25

Very well done, it was interesting playing your level. Here's how I figured out a few of the fakes though- The fake checkpoints have white outlines, but should have black until you've walked past them. I think changing them to the black outline would make them much more convincing. I noticed that too ,they don't seem to go away. But I think that the lines are gone when you're not playing in create mode, so I may remake the checkpoints later. The close level post's box around the sign was a little too thin on the fake version. I also noticed that, but it seemed to be the right size when I was making it... It may be that the sign is too small inside the box, which I had to do, because if the sign was any bigger, the small strips of material above and below the sign would disappear. The box explosive was a little thinner than the real, and the impact had far more spikes than the real one. I didn't really see any size difference, and I'm pretty sure that the fake impact explosive has the right amount of spikes. Though, I agree the fakes were excellent reproductions. If they weren't sitting next to the real thing, I probably would have been fooled by any of them. Excellent work! My F4F level- Revenge Explored Part 1: The Deception - Shredder25 Thanks for the comment. And I'm sorry, but this wasn't a F4F level, but I can still look at your level and give a comment on it.

Looking at it again, I guess you're right about the spikes. They're a little sharper than the original's, but I guess there's not much to be done about that. With the level closed sign, something is just a little off. There's more space, between the sign in the middle and the box around it, which probably makes the box seem too thin. My mistake on the F4F though, I guess I was just tired at the time >_<. I'll drop by your Jazz level right away.

Whoa that's awesome!! Can't really think of anything I can do with them but they look great.

Hey this is an excellent level! It's not too challenging, but the fakes are very well done and i can't wait to use em! I like that you made a game out of the item delivery, in the true lbp fashion. very classy.

I have added a new item to this level, a fake pod! It doesn't look too real, but most likely better looking than others. Making a pod is very difficult.

Great Job! I'll play the level and give feedback.

Small update! I removed the fake pod and fake Sackboys, they didn't seem to help much. You can make your own fake Sackboy fairly easily, and the pod, you couldn't edit it, so it was only a pointless starting point. And I updated the standard checkpoints sticker to make it look more real.
