Creating Creature Help

Archive: 4 posts


Alright, I'm making a level involving tropical environment, and I wanted to have some animals. I don't know how to put this so I'll try my best.

I want to make a butterfly that clings to the back think layer, the BG. I was wondering if its possible to make the wings move while it sits there, I know this could be accomplished with a simple bolt, but I don't want them wobbling back and forth, so I was wondering if I could make it more of 3D flapping motion.

Next, how would you guys go about making moving caterpillars? Is it possible to get ones that walk on the ceiling?

And finally, I want to make an angler fish, that lights the way of a dark underwater tunnel, is there a way to make it go up and down and have it almost auto pilot through the basic route of the tunnel? Or can I only be able to get it to move forward in a straight path with the help of a piston?

Thanks for any help~

Hmmm.... not sure how to do this one. If you wait, I'm sure Gdn001 will be here shortly!

Somebody called me?

Well, I understand that you want the wings to go back-and-forth, not up and down, right. Well, that's still impossible with LBP. You'll have to do like the birds on the gardens and have a up and down animation for the wings.

For caterpillars, you can attach rockets pointing upwards (consider the caterpillar on the ground), put an magnetic switch connected to them. Then, fill the section where you want the caterpillar to walk on the wall/ceilling with corresponding mag keys. Tweak the rockets to max proppulsion. The rockets will keep the caterpillar attached to the ceilling.

For the fish... Wait until I come back with a sketch to explain better.

EDIT: Here's my sollution for the fish dillema:

Just note that the fish will go either all the way up or down, but won't stop in the middle.
EDIT2: I forgot... Don't forget to make the piston stiff.
