Is it possible to use the motion recorder to.. well.. record a motion and then have that object follow the player as they walk/jump around the level? Think of a moth following a moving light. I want the moth to fly around (motion recorder) and then also follow a light that is stuck to a follower that tracks the player.

Have you tried it? In theory it should work, but knowing how movers in general don't like to interact with each other it's possible it won't work, I guess trying it is the best course of action?

Yea, trying it is probably the best course of action... It SHOULD work. I don't really care for the new tools from the Move Pack, so I haven't tried them... :/

Here's an option; create a thin layer of holo with a follower on it, to follow the player. Put 4 or 5 tags on the holo, located just above the player's head. Put a microchip on the moth. Place a timer, a selector switch, and followers that follow each tag. Set the timer to about .5 seconds (you can adjust the time as needed), and wire it to the bottom of the selector switch. Connect each output of the selector switch to a follower. Arrange the tags so it moves in a seemingly random pattern. Reduce the acceleration and deceleration on the followers, and it will seem to hover amongst the tags. And since the tags are on holo that is following the player, it will seem to hover above the player.

Yeah I have tried it and messing with the settings gets it to work.. barely adequately. It follower the player alright it didn't keep true to the Motion Recorder at all though.

I see. What you could do then is make it so that only one is active at any one time. Set a tag sensor up to match a tag on the light, when in range of the tag have the motion recorder active, but when out of range have a follower active. I'll play around later when I'm on LBP, but that should work pretty well.
