I have thought up a way to be able to use O as a button, keep in mind it has limitations. Here is a design I drew up to show you. (My PS3 is broke so no in game shots >.<) http://i56.tinypic.com/21kdlps.png This is most usefull with Arcade Machines or Mechs. The best I can think of is when u want to leave the level press O, activating the Switch that activates an emitter to kill you and also activates a Checkpoint by the End Level Point.

That's pretty nifty! Thanks!

Doesn't donkey show use something like this? although i think his forces you into the back layer then detects using a spotlight... Or something. IDK.

@ RTM223 I dont know anyone else that used this logic and if they have logic the same or something related to it, then it is purely coincidental. Also if donkey show has a thread showing this Logic I would like to see it. My PS3 is broke so I cant play a level.

Yes, Donkey_Show uses a system similar to this (sans glass) which is based on the system I used in Strikewing, which he asked me to explain the workings of. Mine is closer to the one shown here, but I use an emitter for the jetpack since I need to be able to reuse the Circle function. I've never bothered to make a tutorial for it though, I just explained it to people who asked. This is a great image to explain it though, and I don't think there's any need to split hairs over who invented what. It's a pretty simple concept when it comes down to it.

I don't think there's any need to split hairs over who invented what I don't think anyone was This would work out easier to implement than the concept I was talking about (forcing the player onto the further back layer), which was my guess at how it had been done in other places.

If you want to decrease the "lag" from having to wait for the jetpack to fall down, you can also try to attach a stiff piston to it which constantly pushes down. I have an old image illustrating the idea. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/Jirugameshi/Misc/th_Circlebutton.jpg (http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/Jirugameshi/Misc/?action=view¤t=Circlebutton.jpg) I haven't experimented with it myself though. For Strikewing, since the control box never moves, I simply fine-tuned the mag switch to detect it as soon as it was dropped.

I take it you'd use a weak piston so it wouldn't pull sackboy down. Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that. Though Sackboy has a surprisingly strong pulling force when equipped with a Jetpack, at least when it comes to designing a control box around it. Having the piston weaker also makes it less likely that part will break.

WOW thats pretty smart

You just gace me a gameplay idea by showing that technology, thanks!

Yea the emitting JetPacks is a good idea I never thought of.

Yeah, that's pretty good. It'll be better when everyon starts using it. BTW I made little sense of the logic OR what it does. Sorry to tell you.

This would work out easier to implement than the concept I was talking about (forcing the player onto the further back layer), which was my guess at how it had been done in other places. I always assumed it was a layer changing thing too, until either Gilgamesh or Gevurah explained it (can't remember for sure who or in which thread). I had actually put a lot of thought into trying to figure out exactly how that would work and then I found out the real solution and facepalmed. Sadly, I have yet to find a use for this: I can't use it in my mech 'cuz, even if I managed to keep directional control, I'd lose my jump button function. I'm working on a new starfighter, though, so maybe I'll work it in. That thing about the weak piston is a nice touch.... but how would you work that with an emitted jetpack on a moving vehicle (not a separate control box)?

@Sehven Im not to great with complex logic but im sure you can think of something. Of course it will add limitations but there must be a way.

Wow, I definitely see this tool being useful for robots and machines. I also think having an emitter would be great because it would allow you to use the O button more than once.

I agree totaly

That's pretty cool, good thing I don't build such complex mechs so I don't have to figure all that stuff out. Although it would be nice if someone would figure out how to use triangle...
