I'm trying to make a character select screen between three controllinators (attached to separate animated characters), but I'm not sure the best way to do this. I want it to be three player, so I figured some kind of pointer would be best, where when you highlight the character, you can select that one and get in the controllinator. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I have never tried this before but I have a few ideas of how to do it. Sadly, I won't be able to help you right now. . You can add my PSN (Should say it somewhere to the left) and I will help you out. I'm GMT-5 so you are 3 hours behind me so I can help you from 12pm-7pm (Your time) on weekdays and any time on the weekends, if I'm not busy. Let me know if you want my help. I don't have LBP running right now so I don't have a reference to logic and stuff so that's why I can't help you hear at the moment . The logic you need seems really straight forward and I will work on a prototype for you. It will be based around the pointer idea you have. -- See ya around

You can do it menu based, or you can have a character select level, where everyone picks what character they want to play as. I'm not 100% sure on either logic, but I have a pretty good idea. If you want some help, I might be able to offer some. Just send me a PM here or something. If you want to see a character select that allows multiple players, look up the Frozen Flame (http://lbp.me/v/y-frxj) series. It might give you some idea of what you can do. The level's also worth the play, along with its sequel.

Take a look at the Controlinator Trickery (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=67081-Controlinator-Trickery) thread by Antikris. Should help with making a robust select system. Also take a look at MrHollywood's (http://lbp.me/v/918jz8) character select style, it could be tweaked to work for you.

I came up with a menu that works, it's not that complicated. Each player has their own cursor, they choose a character, once they do, they can't move the cursor anymore and no one else can select that character. You can also press "O" if you want to choose a different character. It works pretty well, all I need is to hook the menu up to the characters that you will actually use but I will save that until you add me or something.

Wow thanks Wolffy! I'll add you tonight and check that out. And I read that Controlinator thread, Mr_Fusion. It gave me some ideas, but I'm still a bit confused. I'll talk to you later about it. Also, sorry for being so irresolute, but I'm not sure if I still want to stick with the point and select method... I was thinking toggles using three face buttons. Of course I might end up sticking with the original plan, but perhaps similar logic could be used for both. Here's a couple pictures to 1) give a better idea of what I'm trying to do, and 2) show how I have little to no idea what I'm doing. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg827/scaled.php?server=827&filename=lbp2controllinator.jpg&res=medium http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg839/scaled.php?server=839&filename=lbp2controllinator1.jpg&res=medium As you can probably see, I'm trying to make it so only one controlinator can be activated at a time by only one person. It seem like such a simple if function: If square is pressed, triangle and circle are deactivated unless square is pressed again. But--as you can see--I've made very little progress.
