Controllinator input ports disabled?

Archive: 8 posts


I have been using Controllinator input ports for quite some time now, and it's more than a little annoying when I suddenly am unable to use them. When I get out a new Controllinator, the input ports on each button (sticks, directional buttons, etc.) are non-existent. When I get out one of the microchips I saved that had a Controllinator with something plugged into an input, they are disconnected, and the inputs are disabled. I don't know what could have caused this. I do have a lot of things saved in My Objects, but I wouldn't expect that to cause things to malfunction like this. If it does, I'll have to quit making things, because there's not much I'm willing to delete, and nothing I want to.2011-05-21 23:07:00

Controlinators only have input ports when attached to a Sackbot's 'brain'. They can retain them for a while when you move a Controlinator off the brain, but they'll ultimately disappear upon next rewind or level load.

there's really no reason to override controlinator buttons unless they are on a sackbot. the sackbot is the only "contraption" in the game that has predefined actions based on button presses.2011-05-22 06:01:00

Well, there's at least one reason (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=51861-Latency-free-analogue-comparison&p=797135&viewfull=1#post797135).

I have been using it on sackbots. I use it to give them commands, such as grab, move your arms, run left/right, (etc.). I have had no problem doing it until recently, when the input ports completely disappeared, along with the symbols on the buttons (X, Circle, Square and Triangle are just circular buttons with no symbols on them). I'm pretty sure this is a glitch. The inputs do not show up (they normally look like small lights) and I can't connect anything to them. The outputs are still there, strangely enough, but I need the inputs for my sackbot AI. If this is a glitch that has no solution, how do I report it to Media Molocule?2011-05-22 19:06:00

Strange. Never had a problem with this myself, but others have reported various Controlinator-related issues. Typically, replacing the Controlinator with a fresh one from the Tools Bag will solve the problem.



...how do I report it to Media Molocule?
