Be careful with cut-scene magic mouths
Archive: 18 posts
While making a level for the CC11 challenge I encountered a very nasty game breaking bug/glitch/error or whatever you want to call it. I made a missile with a cut-scene magic mouth attached and had it emitted very fast with a mag switch and a key on another projectile. However while in create mode I inadvertently left a wire off or something, not quite sure, and I unpaused. Unfortunately then the emitter just kept emitting the missile over and over again which meant it immediately went to a cut-scene. It was happening so fast that I couldn't possibly cancel it and pause again. It was impossible to press any button and the start button wouldn't work either so I couldn't return to pod. The only thing I could do was press the PS button and quit the game which of course meant I lost all changes I'd made to the level in that session. It wasn't disastrous in this instance but if anyone encountered this while making a serious level it would not be funny. Just be aware of the potential problem. | 2010-04-27 21:29:00 Author: mistervista ![]() Posts: 2210 |
Sounds familiar. If I remember correctly, Incinerator22 intentionally trapped me in Online Create with this 'technique'. ![]() | 2010-04-27 21:55:00 Author: Unknown User ![]() |
Sounds familiar...*cough incinerator22cough* There is a way around this without having to quit the game. Just turn off your controller until your sackperson poofs then turn it back on. You'll be in hovermode when you turn it back on so you can fix the problem/destroy your friend. | 2010-04-27 22:03:00 Author: GreyMRP ![]() Posts: 588 |
now you've said this, i've got to try it! ![]() | 2010-04-27 22:07:00 Author: trip090 ![]() Posts: 1562 |
Ah yes, i've been trapped ina couple of these "traps" pre say, as well a couple of times. THere's actually a variety of differnt styles this trap has been made. Its known as the "OCT" (online create trap) The only known way to trully trap someone online without having to have the object selected. | 2010-04-27 22:24:00 Author: Silverleon ![]() Posts: 6707 |
I once built an artillery cannon, not for the contest though, I was in online create and I made it shoot really fast, someone with the name of INCINERATOR22 decided to put cut-scene projectiles in it. Some bad things happened. | 2010-04-28 03:14:00 Author: warlord_evil ![]() Posts: 4193 |

There is a way around this without having to quit the game. Just turn off your controller until your sackperson poofs then turn it back on. You'll be in hovermode when you turn it back on so you can fix the problem/destroy your friend. Forcing hovermode will only help if your magic mouth loop is being sustained by a sensor switch. There's another way to fix it (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/PS3-Workshop/Rapid-speech-bubbles-BUG-please-HELP/m-p/231258/highlight/true#M40923) which should work in all cases. This was for someone who'd saved their level in that state, but for cases like mistervista's, just skip step 1... Okay. Found a fix, but you'll need two controllers:- Starting with just pad 1 active, enter the level in Create Mode. Press the PS button on pad 2 to turn it on, but don't choose a profile just yet. When the profile select screen comes up, it will pause the game. At this point there's probably a speech bubble up, so press circle on pad 1 to clear it. Now, hold down the rewind button on pad 1 while pressing X on pad 2 to choose the 'Guest' profile for player 2. The level should now be in pause mode. Fix the emitter, and remember to make regular backups in future. | 2010-04-28 14:39:00 Author: Aya042 ![]() Posts: 2870 |

I got a great big laugh there, I feel so famous ![]() Curse you Grey and Aya, foiling my plans for world domination! It works with keys too (so it works in hover mode), but like Aya so cursedly pointed out, it's escapable with two controllers. | 2010-04-29 04:34:00 Author: Incinerator22 ![]() Posts: 3251 |

I got a great big laugh there, I feel so famous ![]() I may sound abit harsh, but that's not something you should be proud of. | 2010-04-29 05:20:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack ![]() Posts: 5757 |
I may sound abit harsh, but that's not something you should be proud of. I just do it as a 1-minute joke to pester certain people. The ransom thing was a joke too. | 2010-04-29 05:22:00 Author: Incinerator22 ![]() Posts: 3251 |
I may sound abit harsh, but that's not something you should be proud of. Oh I would be proud of it. I would be more proud for the people that invited me in without spending enough time on LBPC to know the workaround. Great way to weed out pretenders. Don't hate the messengers. | 2010-04-29 05:45:00 Author: RoharDragontamer ![]() Posts: 397 |
this is why you should ALWAYS only create with people you trust... (looks down at control stopper object) hehehe... | 2010-04-30 18:36:00 Author: octopus_567 ![]() Posts: 116 |
