Curious Luck

Archive: 4 posts


I recently played SP 2 - Model Train Railroad (http://lbp.me/v/s0jx9p)By ez-p-s-3 (http://lbp.me/u/ez-p-s-3) with my son and he loved it so much that he asked me to make him a "little big train set". So I've made pieces of this train set over the last few weeks with plans to import it when lbp2 goes live.

I built this elaborate city scape (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=29102)and then decided that it needed to be moved backwards one thick layer so I could make the railroad tracks go over it like a bridge. It never occured to me how impossible it is to make a forground object go into the near back ground layers. When emiting to the background the trick makes the "nearest occupied thick layer" go into the front thick layer. I was sure there would be a way to do it with the right combination of emits but I was getting frustrated and gave up.

I then started thinking about a way to make the train work in LBP1 (was planning on waiting for the movement logic in 2) so I wanted to make the thack train cars weightless. I have glithed cardboard that is weightless from the Garden of Goodies (http://lbp.me/v/sm0jx1) but I needed it in thack form. I re-read Theck and Thack (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=26293-Theck-and-Thack) looking for a method for making it. I saw this

I didn't really think much of it when the theck parts popped back into the playable layers. I just figured that some pieces would randomly do that. Wasn't until reading Rtm's post that I realized it had only been the theck pieces. and it occured to me that there was a theck piece in the set that I was trying to emit into the background. I went back and looked and the theck piece was still there in the background. I said to my self "this didn't pop out like they described" but when I clicked it the whole thing popped placing the theck piece in the back thick playable layer which happened to place the back thick layer of my object exactly where I had been trying to place it (the first thick background layer). I literally lol'd.

If I knew what that was I would be laughing, but the way you explained that made me laugh anyways. 2011-01-09 19:32:00

Yeah, I didn't really read any of that. Is that curious luck? Really? Wow.

Sounds like finding theck to me..... But the theck didn't pop?

Lol.
