Sackbots alive and moving around underwater

Archive: 9 posts


I doubt I'm the first to discover this so apologies if it's a repost, but I just discovered this little trick and thought it was worth sharing...

Sackbots with a anti-gravity tag on them, set to 100% dampening, can be placed under water. (This is old news.) This dampening normally prevents all movement, however dampening on sackbots is ignored by the attract-o tweaker, which still pulls them. (This was news to me.) And so, you can place a piece of invisible holo under water with an attract-o tweaker, and it will act as a gravity well for the submerged sackbot even though you have the 100% dampening tag on him. Depending on your initial conditions, this can make him swing back and forth or orbit around the attract-o tag. You could also move the tag to drag him along, but it's fairly finicky to get smooth. To make the motion look more like swimming, you might but a gyroscope on the sackbot that keeps him horizontal, but don't expect him to kick his arms and legs like real sackfolk. (You might animate the arms though for more "realism".)

Wow, this will be really useful! Sounds like it will be much easier to use than chrome glitched sackbots, too!

Give Sackbots the ability to swim only when directly controlled by a controlinator, and make them sink like bricks otherwise. Simple as that.

I have a feeling it's -not- actually as "simple" as that That said though, having read what's been said in that link, I fully agree with Mm, and they -should- be focusing on fixes and maybe some bigger things at the top of their heads (they've never disappointed me at least ) before checking on the sackbots issue, although it is awesome to hear they now also have that on their minds, even if it's way in the back.

I'm sorry, "attract-o tweaker"? Are you talking about LBP Vita, or have I been away from LBP2 for too long? Because if I look up at the top, it says the thread is [LBP2] Tutorials.

It's a new Gel-like material with some very interesting new properties. It also comes along with a tool/tweaker that allows you to give any material those properties. It -is- for LBP2, but I believe you need to get the Muppets DLC.

I know I'm late to this thread, but regardless, here ya go. My sackbot can't swim ultimately further into water, but though it's basic, it gets the job done. It can reach a good depth, and it collides with walls as opposed to all other swimming sackbots. Give it a try, tell me what you think.
