What's the Deal With Score Givers? *Solved*

Archive: 2 posts


So, I was playing Space Pool in story mode, and I was wondering. Do score givers somehow know who to give the score to, or does it take some sort of logic (whether it be simple or complex logic )

Any answers would be appreciated. Thank you!

Do score givers somehow know who to give the score to, or does it take some sort of logic...

Yes and no. It's all done by a player ownership system. From a previous post...


Player data originates from the Sackpeople in the level. Whenever they perform certain actions which affect the state of certain logic components, those components 'remember' which player it was. A simple example might be connecting a grab switch to a piece of hologram set to "Player Color" - the hologram will change to the popit color of whichever player grabs the switch.

As the logic between the source and the sink of the data becomes more complex, the way in which the components are wired can make a difference. In some cases, that data can be lost, or when the logic depends on the actions of multiple players, you might get the wrong player signal at the end of the chain.

It gets even more complicated when dealing with emitted objects. IIRC, the player data which was in the signal which triggered the emitter is passed on to some of the components in the emitted object. Like I said, it's pretty complicated which is presumably why there's no definitive guide to this aspect of the game.

However, the "active" output of a Controlinator is a useful place to source that data from, because it's always active as long as a player is occupying it, so if your players are always in Controlinators, then a technique similar to the one I mentioned in a previous post (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=55558&p=834190&viewfull=1#post834190) ought to work.

Also, take advantage of the fact that hologram set to "Player Color" tells you the color of the player data signal which is being fed into it - it can be a useful tool when trying to determine where the data is being lost.
