I have decided to start a sort of in-game 'product line' for a lack of better words. S.C.A.L.E stands for: Sackperson Customizable Accessories & Level Enhancements What does this mean? It means S.C.A.L.E will specialize in accessories that are customizable by the sackperson, & will enhance the easiness OR excitement of the levels. What do I mean? OK. Imagine your sackperson is faced with a mountain. Normally, he would not be able to cross it without having to jump, grab, jump, grab, ect. However, he has a S.C.A.L.E jetpack, so all he has to do is equip it, and he can fly. What other sorts of accessories will S.C.A.L.E focus on other than jetpacks? Roller skates Spring Shoes Hiking boots Propeller hats (?) Bionic implants Pets on wheels Grab-able hazards Rocket launchers Armour (?) ECT. My goal is to experiment attaching machines to the Sackpeople to see how it affects their ability to perform in levels. Could this be used in cheating? Of course, however, it is not S.C.A.L.E's responsibility, it is the individual sackboy or sackgirl's. I am working on some sketches for certain performance enhancers & I will upload those soon.

Said it before but unfortunaly I dont think its possible to attatch machernery to sackboys, nor spring shoes etc. Too many complications would arrive if they allowed it.

Like Maltay said, you could make machines that achieve the same end, and just place them where they are needed. I don't think you could make a jetpack and have it equipped at any point the player would like, though. This S.C.A.L.E. idea still stand, though, as you could simply have requirements for each S.C.A.L.E. item. For example, it cannot be larger than twice sackboy's size, or it must be light enough for sackboy to drag around, ect.

Yeah, I guess I can make S.C.A.L.E levels where I place the machines to be used on certain obstacles & at the end of the level as a prize players can win them.

You could make a level ABOUT this if you wanted. Like put all these S.C.A.L.E. items in one level, and have a story about how you, (in LBP machine form), want them to test them.

The original GMod allowed the ability to attach stuff to other peoples characters. It was abused and got removed in later versions of the mod. Basically, people were 'welding' other players to walls, cars and other objects so they couldn't move(of their own free will). I'd like to attach a motor to a sackboy and watch him spin :-p. Anyone know if we can still attach floaty pink stars to our sack people?

Darkelite105 & I have found a way to circumnavigate the problem of not being able to attach machines directly to the Sackpeople . Also, yeah, I was planning to have several levels dedicated to our products. Thanks!
