A few newbie questions

Archive: 12 posts


I have the game for 4 days now, already made 3 levels and I'm currently working on 4th one.
But I would like to ask you a few questions about things I would like to use in my level:

1. How do you emit object only once per playthrough when player is near/ standing on it?
I saw this a couple of times in other levels.
2. How do you make objects for example a circle of rock, move from left to right without pushing it or something? I saw some electric stones moving like that.

More questions might come when I remember them

Thanks for every help!

Emitter: Place a proximity switch attatch it to the emitter and set it to "one shot"

Moving things: Place the object, connect it to a piston, set it as "Stiff", place a preximity switch where you want the objects to move when the sackbow passes through, set the switch in "Directional" attatch it to piston and done!

Hope that helps.

I'm not exactly sure about what you're asking here but you could tweak the emitter to only emit 1 object or if that's not waht you mean, if the emitter is connected to a switch set the switch to 'one shot'.


2. How do you make objects for example a circle of rock, move from left to right without pushing it or something? I saw some electric stones moving like that.
Connect the object to a piece of dark matter or to another part of the level that has been glued down with a piston, set the piston two invisable and you're done.

Hope this helps

Wow that's a great help oh and I have one more.

1. Is it possible with emitter to only make objects disappear?

Well yes and no, it can be done but not in the way you're thinking.
What I recomend you do is search @rtm223 to find his levels and them play his 2 demitter levels.
You can also check out the thred he made on demitters (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=11861-Demitters-New-demitter-switch-added!!!-2010-03-10&highlight=demitter) as well.

Just a question, I'm a little disturbed that you've dished out 3 levels in 4 days. Have you been taking your time?2010-04-04 00:24:00

Well personally I think it's a good thing, as long as they're not just H4H or some other complete junk, at least he/she is keen to create. Everybody's different, I haven't published a single level and I've had LBP since day 1 that's just the way I am.

I would like to but as i've said in other help threads I just don't think I'm reliable enough to actually go into crete mode and help people. What you could try though is starting a thread in Find Other Happy Gadders section and ask if anyone would like to help you improve in create mode.

Ok I have another interesting question: How do you change background light/darkness/fog in the middle of the level?
Like first half would be bright and second dark?

For that my frend, you need the Global control tool, which is found on the MGS (Metal Gear Solid) pack that you have to buy from the PSN store, so sadly unless you have the MGS pack you can't do it.

It's actually in the (free) Creator Pack 1 download.
