I was making a level, and i put the entrance on a piston to give it a floating affect. Now whenever I enter the level, I die, and keep re spawning, and dying over and over again… I cant open the popit, hover or anything. I am really far on the level and i need to edit it. Is there any way to get out of this whole situation? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've never experienced that exact issue.... This is in create mode right? You can't even pause the game or access the start menu or anything? Well, if you've been making backups of both your level and profile (which you should be) now may be the time to restore one of them.

I can pause the game and open the start menu, I just cant open my popit menu, or move around. I do have a backup, but its before i made this level...

So you never did anything in the backup level?

The backup is before i created the level. Do you want me to publish it so you guys can take a closer look?

I see what you mean It doesn't work at all.

Sorry to say this, but you're going to have to start over. You can't work on the level no more. This is a major problem in LBP. When something is in front of the checkpoint (or something like your situation happens), the Creator is killed all the time, so they can never Edit it. I wish Cambridge would make Sackboy go through materials/object when entering a level in Create Mode, almost like a ghost. That way, if something bad happens like what I said, you'll be able to remove the obstacle out of the way so you can keep editing the level.

the entrance isnt infront of anything though. its just on a piston and barely moves. it just moves slightly.

That's wierd.....

Is it moving fast? If it is, then that's the problem. If not, then you just got piston sniped a glitch on your hands. If all you wanted to do is hold the entrance without gluing it to anything, then why didn't you use the Rod? It's much safer and, umm... *whispers* it doesn't move.

Or, you could have glued a small static (meaning it won't move) circle behind the entrance.

I'll take a look as well. Don't delete it yet. Edit: Oh, I'm sorry. My Sackboy didn't make it. So you're backup has nothing in it? I mean a backup is made after you work a bit in create mode.

When we say backup levels we mean copyed version of the level not your hole game data just checking you know that

well, its only moving slightly. I think it was max length is 128, min length is 127, moving at 3 speed with a .5 second pause. And, i wanted it to move very little so it looked like it was sort of floating or hovering? So yes. I had a reason for the piston And i didnt make a backup because it happened sort of in the beginning of creating

Wow that is brutal. Sorry that it looks like you lost your level. Speaking as someone who has had this happen... The good news is its usually better the second time you make it. =D

Ouch. Well, I got nothing, but I now know not to make a piston attached entrance to move that fast.
