Will someone be able to name a sackbot. I mean when you push L1 a name appears above a sackbot just like normal sackpeople. (sorry if anything is spelled incorrectly).

Sackbots, emitters, Vacuum material names and Controllinators will do it. But I'd like the Easy Way too ;D

which video? This one (if you look at the video's image without playing it, you'll see an option that says "Actor Name"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYXRINyk4wg

I suppose he was looking at the part "Actor Name". Whatever it means. Probably the one who recorded the Sackbot movement.

You can name most things now. It sort of acts as a switch colour - So you can set things up to say "when the sackbot called Bob enters this area trigger the door" If it appears above thier heads is another thing.

But whats the point of naming something that won't display at all and used in logic? you already can name switches in sackbot circuitry

If you name a magnetic key, for instance, it will only work with a magnetic switch that has the same name. So it's simulating having millions of colours. I'd assume that this is sort of the same thing. And why would a name always appear when you press L1 if you're just spawning nameless zombie sackbots (for example) having that seems kind of useless. Plus, they're NPCs. L1 is used to tell who the other players are. That doesn't really matter for a sackbot, plus if they're important, they'll tell you who you are and if they don't, it probably doesn't matter.

It's just like "Instance Names" and "Variables" in Adobe/Macromedia Flash. Btw, you should edit your signature to say: "I WILL HAZ: Little Big Planet 2: BETA" Since you had LBP: BETA. Unless it only allows Online Create/Water Betas, but i doubt it.

Moony is right. You can now name mag keys giving you infinite (well not quite as theres a limit to the amount of characters that can be used in the name area) options. Im pretty sure also that the "actor name" thing is a similar deal. name the bot and then something will only activate when that particular bot activates it.

Hm. A Mm- naming rooster-up? I don't get why there's the "Actor" in front of the "name" though. But it does seem more believable than my earlier guess
