How to connect my Crossbar (controlinator) with my Sackbot????

Archive: 19 posts


Hey community, I got a problem with my controlinator. I asked friends, I looked it up in the internet, but I didn?t find anything. I have to connect my crossbar of my gamepad (controlinator) with the logic of my sackbot. It sounds very easy, I also thought so, but it isn?t. It doesn?t work and I need this buttons for my game "Indiana Jones and the infernal machine"
(little advertising for my level ) It will become a quicksave button and the flaslight. So it is very important that someone helps my. In addition I hope every body understand my problem, because my english is definitely not the best

Hi Erikson24
If by crossbar, you mean the D-Pad on the controller. You need to set it up, so the sackbot recieves controlls remotely from the player on a transmitting controllinator.

There should be hundreds of tutorials on how to do this...nut quickly....
Make a 4x4 flat block of holographic material (set this to be invisible (0 brightness). On this place a controllinator. (set this to transmitter blue and not visible). Also on this place a follower (set this to infinite detect range, and set it to follow a blue tag labelled 'Player ' at 100% acceleration)
next...
Open up the base circuit board on the sackbot and place a controllinator on him. (set this to be a reciver for the blue tag. This will enable the sackbots controllinator to use the same control as the transmitting controllinator the player is in). Also place a bluer tag (labelled 'Player 1' on his circuitboard (this allows the players seat to follow the sackbot when it moves.

For your button controls, (eg, flashlight), place a chip on the sackbots base chipboard lablled 'Player1s flashlight'. Now whatever button you want to use as this flashlight, wire it from the button on the sackbots controllinator into the flashlights chip input.

Now all you need do is place on this chip whatever logic you want for the flashlight etc....
I hope that helped

Ok that must be a translation fail. I?m very good in logic so I know how i?m able to build a Sackbot which is controlable. My question is how I can use the Cross of the controler. Take a look of the picture. I mean this. It doesn?t work like I wish. Got any ideas?45590

I hope it works with the picture

I already tried this, it also doesn?t work too. But Thx for your help It seems like the D Pad doesn?t get any commands. I got my Sackbot, which works with a normal remote control. And i connected the D pad with sounds. If i use the D pad, you would here some sounds. Ok that is the theorie, but it doesn?t work in practise. So I?m sure there must be a solution. I think there is a problem with the command from my Sackboy to the Sackbot over my remot control. Any ideas???2013-05-20 22:10:00

I've came across this same problem a while back and for some reason the D-Pad in the controlinator didn't work if "disable pop it" (whatever the setting is called) is off.

Edit: In other words, if you can use your pop it cursor while in the controlinator the D-Pad won't work last I checked.

Hmm , it's a hard question . I'm try this for test and everything seems to be good for me , I'm connect left /right buttons to diretcion splitter and plus with some sounds . Now when i'm use right button i'm hear this sound .

I'm try with disable popit and it still works .

EDIT : It could be reason .Maybe You forget to disable popit ?

Hi Erikson24.
The direction splitter should work no problem.
You should split the signal on the sackbots recieving controllinator. So the controlling seat that your in transmits the dpad signal as normal, but the sackbots controllinator seat is where it gets split.. Lets know how you get on buddy

I think if you don't disable pop-it, it will still work in Play mode, but not Create mode. I can't confirm this without double checking though. It's only because the dpad is used to pause/rewind etc.

Not to my knowledge.
You can either have your Popit and emoticon functionality, or you can use those buttons for other stuff. I don't see how it would be possible to have the buttons do both at the same time.

Hi guys...lol, I'm not finished giving up on getting this working yet. Have a few more ideas. However, at the moment I am in toyal agreement with Ostler5000 mate. I cant see a way to have both ways work. I have an idea that MIGHT work. I will post it on this thread for you, or on a tutorial if it does for you and others if it does 2013-05-23 13:03:00

Hm i?m missing a YAY button like in LBP that would be very nice. Otherwise i already got a new controll system without the D pad. Now you will opne the menu with R2; L2 is Quicksave and L3 is flashlight. But in this case, YOU CAN?T MOVE YOURE TINY LITTLE ARMS . But it needs a sacrifice to bring it to work like i wish. If somebody find out a way to use the D pad and the Popit he or she will get a special possition in my gameintroduction with stars and much bling blings ect 2013-05-23 18:30:00

Idk if it'll help you , but maybe You can use 2 controlinators . If you are good in logic you'll be able to make another controlinator with popit options connected with not gate if you use previous controlinator with d pad functions . It's only theory and it's hard for me to write in english how it should be properly connected .

Edit : Slelector should help . If you get troubles with this i'll try make this logic and post picture in this trade .

Hey Araxes, thanks for youre answer. I tried this but it doesn?t work. The reason, if i sit in a controlinator, which is able to open the pop it, you aren?t able to give comants with the d pad to an other controlinator (which would be able to use this d pad)lso changed this (you sit in a controlinator which unables the popit, than i can?t use teh pop it . But thank you for youre idea . In addition, my english is definitly not the best too, but i think everybody will understand you. I understood you 2013-05-23 23:51:00

I'm think not the best but i have an idea for solving this problem .
When u change wireless of controlinator to control by neares player and if U lock your player in small box maybe then U'll be able to use popit and d-pad.
Yea i'm know it's a little bit strange solution but ...
Of course in this way U must use movie camera on your sackbot and this makes another problem to solve , with more then one player in level it'll be complicated .
