Hi there. I havent posted any tutorials in ages, so I thought I'd do one

I have a simple but useful one I hope people will like

1. Place down a Grabinator.
2. Turn off the grid tool and select a Microchip. This can actually be placed onto the Creatinator- stick it to it.
3. on this microchip, place a Player Sensor connected to a Destroyer.
4. Make the Player Sensor- (Min detect range of 0.0, Max range of 8.0, Same layer to Yes) and the Desroyer to (Destroy effect : Dissappear).

Thats it- short and sweet.
Now, when the player gets in range of the Grabinator he will pick it up as normal, however he also activates the player sensor, which, in turn destroys the Grabinator), so, you only get to pick it up once.

The chip can be copied and placed on - The Grabinator, The Paintgun, Scuba Gear, Tetherless Jetpack, Tethered Jetpack, Grapling Hook, Lives checkpoints, Spikes ( great for an instant kill,but then the spike that killed you vanishes), Level Keys, Race Start Gates (great for false starts), Finish gates, Powerup Remover (great for removing a powerup on one character but not on another), Close level posts ( hand for reopening a closed level), Bounce Pads, and one of the most unusual- Scoreboards ( If you put one on the bottom ramp part only the scoreboard activation/ramp part vanishes and the scoreboard graphic remains, or, if you put one on the back scoreboard part and tweak its player sensor settings to be any layer, the scoreboard part vanishes, leaving the ramp. Weird but fun


I hope thats useful to someone out there

EDIT- In step 2 it says 'placed on to creatinator'. Its meant to say, 'placed on to grabinator'.
Oops, sorry about that, Hope its useful though.

A problem I noticed is that you said to set the player sensor to same layer. sometimes you can pick up powerups from separate layers, therefore allowing you bypass the destroyer.

all in all pretty cool, though
