I have an idea for holdable hand guns that could be used in a dueling map of some sort. Of course you would make it on a large scale and then scale it down, i know its possible to scale down complex machinery because ive seen it done in videos. the question is.... how small can it get? if you can get it small enough too fit in a sackboys hand your could control his arms and try to fire at targets or other sackpeople. og course there would be no waty to choose when to fire so it would just fire maybe every 4 or 5 seconds, or every second for a machine gun effect!! you could have electric bullets or fire bullets or icey bullets too. the possibilities are endless... http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa207/seanrocks512/zzgunidea.png thats the best i can do in 5 minutes EDIT due to feedback i would like to say grapple guns would be even better!!! and i have an idea of how it would work

If handguns are included in the game, I think that they would be for decoration and not much else. :/

Haha, I hope it will work. However, Maltay has told me that attaching machines to Sackpeople will not work. There is probably a better way of shooting then having it shoot automatically.. we just have to figure it out. Maybe it fires when you make a certain motion with your arms?

i completely dislike the idea.... ok, cute foam swords and wooden swords are one thing... but hand guns? that's too far, were not making gta... were amking a cute game... wooden and foam swords are cute, guns just take it away from cute, people's reaction will be like "oh how cute, a wooden sword... WTF? is that a gun?" even as a play toy it wouldn't be that funny or appropriate for the crowd it's being aimed at. maybe some kind of little toy launcher would be funny, like a teddy bear launcher would be funny... the world need a successful game without murder or guns... lbp is as close to it as well get

Yeah, I agree, it sort of takes the innocence away from the Sackpeople. However, I still think it is a valid question to ask if projectile type 'weapons' would work... :o

A grappling gun you say?? :kz: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/link/link_070820e-l.jpg To get on topic, if they are possible, I HAVE to make some S.C.A.L.E hookshots & clawshots. A level like this would be amazing: http://www.andkon.com/arcade/obstacles/hookshot/

good idea but sounds very hard

It would be fun to put guns in the game but the game would change a whole bunch. I doubt you could attach to your hand too.

Well, if it's possible to build a working gun in Phun, then there is no doubt it's possible in LBP! Dunno about equipping it though :/

This is a rated E game i am pretty sure so if sony see any gun i am almost certain they will either close the level it was in or remove it off the character unless it was a toy gun that had a like cork on it real cartoony or grappling hook like i read in previous responses. but it seems you can only make machines to achieve things like shooting but not make items the sackboys can use or pick up maybe they can drag a gun but what fun would that be.

even as a play toy it wouldn't be that funny or appropriate for the crowd it's being aimed at. its being aimed at everybody. and its still kiddy violence anyway because if it shoots ice then the person freezes they dont have their brains painted on the wall! (sorry a bit gruesome)

I know its possible to make a gun, but you won't able to attach it and you only will able to grab the gun and swing it around. And the gun would have to be made out of sponge and soft stuff like that because that's probably materials you can grab on to. And a grappling gun would fit this game perfectly!

I think we'll have to stick to mounted guns that actually work and hand guns as props.

ill stick to tanks

Why people want to keep introducing weapons to this game I'll never know..

It's possible to make a gun from what I've seen but, you have to take into account that, no matter how small you scale it, it still has to take up an entire layer(at least), your sackperson would have to hold it with both hands as that's the grab mechanic at work AND because of that grab mechanic(the way it works), you wouldn't be able to aim the gun. Stationary guns/cannons will be the only way to have projectiles in the game.

2008-08-14 16:14:00 Author: 1000101 Posts: 192

Or you can have a cannon on wheels that your sackperson can push & aim throughout the entire level shooting down planes & enemies. :kz:

Why am I even helping this thread? I think any idea's like this will send LBP flying downhill..

Guns don't kill Sackpeople. Sackpeople kill Sackpeople.

Just because machines don't attach directly to Sackpeople (??) doesn't mean the S.C.A.L.E items won't work, it just means I will have to be more creative.

What would be the point of having guns in LBP?

2008-08-14 17:39:00 Author: Unknown User

actually im pretty sure guns can kill sackppl. and the fact is we wont know equipable machines will be possible until... my gamestop gets an exclusive demo!!!yep thats right my gamestop is gettin a build of lbp to playand im goin!!!

You could just give each sackboy a lit match and thats pretty much an insta kill. Having guns in this game defeats the whole attitude of the game. I'm pretty sure the game would be ruined. Why would a town like yours get that. I doubt your the only one. They probably mass produced that demo disk and it's probably at every gamestop.

I don't think its smart to do guns in LBP Because it's ( in my opinion ) not LBP style and if im playing the game i dont wanna be killet or even shot at just building stuff and play the levels. But thats my opinion. But a grapple-hook sound like alot of fun

Guns don't kill Sackpeople. Sackpeople kill Sackpeople. This quote is going in my sig. It's classic! Thanks! :-p

some kind of turret typed "gun" that is connected to the floor, and is controlled by a lever or a button that shoots mini sackboys, or teddy bears would be cute... but i think sony doesent want to touch guns or hard violence with a 60 foot stick... and thanks to all who agreed with me...

What about paintball guns. It's still keeping with the rating as the sackboy gets covered in paint, it could be quite fun using paintballs.

Is paint in the game?? If so, WOW! I'm going to have an art level.

Is paint in the game?? If so, WOW! I'm going to have an art level. I don't know if it is, I was just thinking of an idea how guns could work without changing the friendly fell of LBP. Personally I fine without but if people wanted them in the paintball idea could work if the paint was there

If this game is to childlike, people will be turned off as well. Guns would add a much needed gameplay element. Being able to slap is just not enough. :kz:

I doubt this would work Sackboys can push and pull objects but they can't hold objects.

2008-08-29 00:20:00 Author: LittleBigChav Posts: 175

I'd rather just stick to siege weaponry, catapults, cannons, trebuchets and suchlike. Have a 4-player game where the players split into teams of 2, each team building a castle and also building catapults and suchlike to destroy the enemy castle.

Chaz Fox If someone creates a working forklift or crane for a LBP tower defense create your own tower game that would be so awesome.

THIS WILL NOT WORK. There is no way to trigger it when you want to without motion sensors or something... WAIT... Put a ball in the gun, aswell as a motioon sensor, then whenever you move your arm up it shoots! YEAH!

I doubt this would work Sackboys can push and pull objects but they can't hold objects. sackboys can grab stuff and hold on to it. you just press R1 on any grabbable material.

2008-09-12 23:29:00 Author: muttjones Posts: 843

Yes, you can resize objects, but sensors and stuff will stay the same size.

I really hope this idea fails. No offence or anything, I personally just think weapons & such will completely destroy a game like LBP.

I'm going to make a cannon with a wheel that rotates its direction, but handguns... won't work.

sackboys can grab stuff and hold on to it. you just press R1 on any grabbable material. Yeah, that's a pretty cool thing to do If something is heavy, then Sackboy needs a little help, i love it when he tries to move a heavy object by himself, he looks cute lol

im guna try and make a hand gun but not to shoot people but to be used as a grappling hook for climbing walls

2008-09-13 01:55:00 Author: Darkelite105 Posts: 374

like i posted before... im ganna make a peice of cardboad and attach fire at the end so i can swing it around and burn people... or i will use gas and make it look cool... or use electricity and kill people...

I don't see why you all want to turn this game into SackTheftAuto.

like i posted before... im ganna make a peice of cardboad and attach fire at the end so i can swing it around and burn people... or i will use gas and make it look cool... or use electricity and kill people... Yeah, a ball-and-chain weapon would be hilarious.

2008-09-13 02:40:00 Author: Darkelite105 Posts: 374

Weaponry would be cool. Like shooting flamming bullets so people would actually "die".

2008-09-14 20:13:00 Author: THE-FAT Posts: 143

A Bow&Arrow would seem more appropriate, and i rather find a way to get on top of things than using a grappling gun.
