So i am in the thinking about making a level where you are a robot thingy and you can use your magnets to help aliens off a spaceship or something. Now i need help with actually making the magnet robot. I want to make it so it can attract objects but have no idea on how to actually do it.

Followers would probably be the easiest way to do this. Assign a tag to the follower then put a matching tag on the robot. Things would either follow him or fly away from him depending on if you set it to follow or flee. Neat idea for a level btw!

Yeah for the magnets if you want to keep 'em simple just have a follower and a simple mover on the objects. Hope that helps!

I have made the car, i followed the 'how to make a top down controllable object' tutorial for the magnet car. Problem is, that everytime i enter the car it automatically rises to the upwards. Does anyone know how to stop this? help anyone?

So i am in the thinking about making a level where you are a robot thingy and you can use your magnets to help aliens off a spaceship or something. Now i need help with actually making the magnet robot. I want to make it so it can attract objects but have no idea on how to actually do it. Grrrrr.....I just made something like this. Just kidding. Have a button on your controllinator wired to a tag or two on your magnet. The button turns the tag on and off. On the objects, pop on a CB. In it you need a follower, anti grav, and a tag switch. Wired the tag switch into both the follower and the anti grav. Make the radius for the anti grav and the tag switch the same. Both should be set to match the tags. Works like a charm. EDIT: Forgot to add what dpcash below said. Add a material changer to the object set to sticky and wire the tag switch into that as well. Thanks for reminding me dp.

Nice trick ive found is you can use the material changer object and wire it to turn sticky on and off, doesnt really help with your attracting but could solve a future shaking loose/breaking off bug or something
