8-way grab switch

Archive: 8 posts


I think an 8-way grab switch mapped to the left analog would be handy. The switch should have 8 wires that can be connected to rockets, pistons etc.

imagine if you could grab a sponge with the switch applied. Each direction attached to a rocket. This would give more direct control of vehicles.

I think what he's trying to say is, when you grab a grab switch you should be able to have 8 wires coming from it that you can attach to different switches.
So whilst holding the grab switch you would be able to push the left stick in one of 8 directions (left,right,up,down and all 4 diagonals) to select each function from just the one switch.
Think it could be useful

He means that once you grab the sponge, you can trigger different things by pressing a certain direction with the stick.

Kind of like the cockpit trigger I wrote about. (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=4883)

An "8-way-switch" could easily be made by attaching 8 switches (proximity or magnetic key) to a circle, and giving Sackboy a limited-range jetpack.2008-11-20 17:49:00

Yeah, but that causes a small lag between pressing the left stick and the actual movement. Libidius.jp (the gradius remake) is an example of this.

This is a good idea.
Doubt MM will make it, though.
