How to get telekinesis!

Archive: 5 posts


In this tutorial, I'm going to tell you how to make a sackbot that can use telekinesis to freely move around almost any object. This isn't like other telekinesis levels that limit you to one object. This one uses a cursor that lets you select what objects to pick up.
First to make telekinesis, you will need a cursor. See my tutorial "Cursor-based teleportation" if you don't know how to make one. Asides from the basic stuff to make a cursor, the only other thing you need to put on it is a tag. Then get a controllable sackbot and wire one of its buttons to the tag on your cursor. Now you're done with the cursor; it's time to set up the objects that you want to move.
To set up the objects, first make a microchip. On the microchip, put a follower, a material tweaker, and a tag sensor set to the color of the tag you put on the cursor.
Set the material tweaker to make the object indestructable, and set the follower and tag sensor's maximum range to just at the edge of the object you want to move (since the range is circular, long objects aren't reccomended). Set the follower to 100 speed and acceleration and set it to follow the tag you have on your cursor. Now just wire the tag sensor to the follower. If done correctly, when you move the cursor over the object and hold the button that you wired to the tag, the object will follow your cursor, which will make it so you can freely move that object around, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT! Attach rotaters and in/out movers for more advanced movment.

Check out the following levels to see examples of my telekinesis:


Sackbot Telekinesis tutorial: http://lbp.me/v/x7ttce
A tutorial on how to make telekinesis. It comes with a sakbot with a cursor that can use telekinesis, but uses an older system of telekinesis. However, I've updated it with the new system, so ignore the first part where it tells you to wire a button to followers on every object. In the update, I put in a microchip that has all the essentials for telekinesis. However, the sackbot in the level doesn't have anything wired to the tag on its cursor, so wire it to a button if you plan on using it.

This is a tutorial on how to actually use my telekinesis in gameplay. It shows you the controls and gives a few examples on what you can do with them. It also uses the old system, but works just as well. The new system just makes it so you can respawn, emmit telekinetic objects, and takes away a glitch that makes all telekinetic objects float in the air when you push the telekinesis button.

This is an actual level that uses my telekinesis system. It's not the best level, but could give you ideas for gameplay elements.

That's all for now. I hope you will make a cool level using this telekinesis system. Just give me credit if you learned how to do it from this tutorial. You can also feel free to heart me if you're so inclined.
