It would be great if Mm made it so we could make the controllinator invisible in play mode without making the occupants, be that sackboys or sackbots, invisible too. There are lots of times when I'd like the sackboy/sackbot to appear as though they are sitting down but without having the controllinator on show all the time. Let's face it, the controllinator is quite unsightly to be honest and it doesn't really fit any scenario at all that I can think of. For instance I recently made a church set-up for mrsv and Icey to play around in while viewing their costumes and I had several sackbots sitting on the pews. However they looked really stupid because you could see the controllinator they were all sitting in and grabbing the control stick! It really spoils the whole effect, and setting the controllinator to invisible doesn't work because it makes the occupant invisible too! It can't be difficult for Mm to put a tiny, simple bit of code in to let us have the option of making it invisible while keeping occupants visible can it?

I can definitely back this idea. I would be neat to make the Controllinator only, invisible. To add to this, I wouldn't mind them doing what they did with Checkpoint, Scoreboards and whatnot - Let us tweak the visual appearance with 4 or 5 different settings. Wooden Controllinators, anyone? I can't picture it being too hard to do, they'd really just be alternative skins.

That's a great idea and I want it too. I have the same problem, you want to make the controlinator invisible because it doesn't fit the scenario but you want to keep the Sackboy/Sackgirl/Sackbot visible. Solution for it: nothing. It irritates me and I had to seek another way to get a sackbot good in a scenario without the controlinator. It also is irritating when you make something like a clas with Sackbots sitting there. You can see all the controlinators and the whole scenario is bad because of all the visible controlinators. So, I fully agree with you that there should be an option to make Sackboys/Sackgirls or Sackbots visible, but the controlinator they are sitting in, invisible. That would improve some levels a lot! Please Mm, add this to the awesome features of LittleBigPlanet!

As far as I remember, the DCS invisibility option in the early versions of the beta, did only include the seat itself and not the sackperson occupying it... In the light of that, I think it would be VERY easy for Mm to re-implement it, and it is definitely something I hope to see back in the universe of LBP in the near future

You could always sticker it, and/ or hide it with decorations. At least I think it was the DCS that was stickerable.
