Variable Sensor Shapes

Archive: 2 posts


(I can guarantee you someone's brought this up before, whether on these threads or not, but I haven't seen anything, so I'll bring it up now.)

So, back in the early days of LBP1, we had sensors, and they were all right. A circle that could detect something with a large or small range. But then the creator pack came out with the ability to change the ANGLE of a sensor's range! While a small one, it was an incredibly useful addition, and I'm sure many of us LBP2 creators really appreciate it being around.

But it's time to take it a step further, and I think you should be able to change the shape of the trigger zone. We don't need any crazy shapes for our sensors, like stars or... Sackboys. I just want to be able to change the shape between a circular area and a rectangular one. Think about it, you go to the tweak menu, with a default circle shape... You've got your minimum detection range, your maxium, and your trigger angle radius, but then, you've got the option to switch to a rectangle, and it operates like the camera's 'Zone' function.

You don't know how many times I've wanted to make a sensor detect when the player is in the room, but since I don't tend to make circular rooms, I have to set up a bunch of player or tag sensors around the edges to get what I want. I've even wanted to wire a camera's output in place of a sensor, but game cameras don't have outputs, and movie cameras only put out signals when the 'scene' is complete... So a square sensor would be great.

Well, I had this problem for quite a while, but here's an effective and quick fix:

-Use either Hologram or Stickerpanel, and make it into the size, shape, and rows you want detection in.
-Add an impact sensor to the shape, and set it to include 'Touching'.
-You can either have it search for the Lead Player, Any Player, or just a Tag.
-Hook the impact sensor into whatever you want to be active, and Viola! It works like an incredibly specific Player Sensor.

Happy Gadding.
