I'm having trouble with my camera following an emitted sackbot while the controllinator is away from the sackbot. The player will enter a controlinator that is not located on the sackbot (need it to stay this way) and control a sackbot that can die and therefore can be re-emitted. I can get the camera to follow a sackbot using movie camera but as soon as that sackbot dies and another is emitted, the new sackbot does not have the connection from the controlinator output to the camera input, and the camera stays on the player in the controlinator rather than the sackbot. I've seen others do this successfully in their levels and would love some help.

you just need to use a tag and tag sensor. Use the controlinator that the player is actually sitting in and run the active output from the middle to a tag. On the sackbot you'll emit, put a matching tag sensor and connect that to your movie camera. make sure you turn the range up so that no matter where you go or emit the sackbot, you'll still be able to detect the tag on the original controlinator.

As you may know, movie cameras on controlled bots work fine in a single player environment, but as soon as you add multiplayer into the equation (especially versus mode) you will have to go back to game cameras; game cameras require activation by a present sackboy and for this you'd need to have the controlinator seat that the sackboy is in follow the bot that he is controlling. This might not be a problem, though, since it is easy to make the controlinator and thus the sackboy invisible. And in case you want it to look like sackboy sits somewhere stuck in a chair, turn the whole scenario around and make the static seat contain a sackbot set to 'owner' with a receiving controlinator on its logic board. It will appear as if it is sackboy stuck in that chair while in reality he is invisibly following the bot he is controlling.
