alternating controlled objects

Archive: 3 posts


in my new level, there are different objects you control. and you eventually switch from one to another. i know a basic way to do it: the sackboy can go along a corridor in which there are different controlinators and the different controlled objects are connected to them, separately.
but i was wondering if i could do that some other way. i'm sure it's possible. like, entering one main controlinator, then picking another (among controlinators 1, 2 and 3) by pushing a button, (x, circle, triangle, for example). something like that.

thank you

Yes you can


The following is one, pretty simple way to achieve this:

1) Set you main Controlinator to Transmitter, and set you sub Controlinators to Receiver. Be sure to set the same Colour and Label for all Controlinators.

2) Put the sub Controlinators in each their own Microchip on the sub objets.

3) Place a Selector inside the Circuitboard of the main Controlinator and wire a "Toggle-Button" of your choice to the Increment port of the Selector. The Selector must have as many outputs as the number of different objects you want to control.

4) Wire the Outputs from the Selector to the Active Input of the Microchips containing the sub Controlinators.

You should now be good to go. Your main Controlinator will always transmit signals to the receiving sub Controlinators, but the Selector will only make one of them will be activeand able to receive at a given time.

You can make you Main Contorlinator follow the active sub object, or simply put an active Movie Camera inside the chips of each of the the sub objects.


Good luck

And to add to SlaedenBob's reply: you don't need to have a sackboy actively sitting inside a controlinator to make it appear as he is sitting in one. That sounds cryptic, eh?

Just take out a sackbot, set its costume to 'copy owner' and enable its use of controlinators. Next you place a new, blank controlinator seat onto your vehicle (if that applies), set it to auto-mount and then drag the bot near it so it takes seat. Then get out another receiving controlinator that Bob was talking about and place that onto the circuit board of the sackbot.

This will make it appear as if the sackperson himself is driving the vehicle.

The only problem with this would be the camera view, as it does not follow the vehicle. If you need a hand with that, post back here.
