Candle flame glitch

Archive: 28 posts


How do you do the candle flame without candle glitch?
Was brainstorming about a level which would use those and realized that i didn't know how to do it, i played a little with the candle but could still not figure out how to do it...
Its probably just something completely obvious that i have missed.:blush:

I didn't even know there was such a glitch! So you're left with the flame with no candle? That'd be awesome! I'll be checking back here if anyone has an answer! These glitches are so much fun 2009-02-01 00:50:00

just take the candle from the popit menu make it kinda big and use the select tool to just select the flame and hit the triangle to detach it, from there you can make it bigger or smaller what ever your liking2009-02-01 02:50:00

Cool thanks!
Could never have thought of that, why would Mm make the candle out of two different parts!?! :eek:

Weird that you haven't seen that, I've seen it in at least 50 different levels, thought everyone but me new about that glitch.

I believe it's also in 'The Azure Palace' right near the start where you go up that lift thing.

This is how we made light during the beta. Adjust the candle FIRST for brightness and color then like they said select it with pop it, copy or detach and paste.2009-02-01 22:10:00

They didn't have electric lights in those days. They had to make their own candles out of ear wax too, and trudge through 50 trophy levels just to make the one candle. Us youngin's got it easy with them fancy smancy electric lights.

Sorry, I had to do it. :blush:

Elbee.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yep, sadly that is how we had to do things, we did not have lights to work with and... this was the only way we had to do anything, but one thing is wrong. There were no trophy levels in the beta because people did not know what the trophies were

Cheers!

Lots of Laughs! That was probably the funniest thing i've heard this year!
I don't remember that we didn't have lights back then, maybe it's because i only had the beta for a few days and newer really had time to experiment with the lighting.
Thats probably also the reason for that there are so many levels which use them, the creators all learned it during the beta!

In fact I hate people using candles. lol

More often then not they put it EXACTLY where you need to jump so just guess what happens.... you character changes layer and you burn yourself. This is beyond annoying.

are you using the right candle... I found that the candle stick(the long one with its own base) is best and not the red one that is dripping wax down its side.

Darn, I tried it with both candles, no luck... Trapt how did you seperate them? Might help me figure it out if you tell me which method worked for you 2009-02-03 05:50:00

I was able to separate the flame from both candles.

The red one I just clicked on the flame and hit L3 ad copied it,

and for the taller candle in the holder I changed the candle to dissolve and attached a grab switch to it.

BTW, the flames dont hurt you O:

whats weird is I have never had a candle hurt me in my levels but I have been to levels where I have tried to get on top of the candle and have gotten burned. So I'm not sure whats going on, but ever so often the candles do burn.

Ooh... I've noticed that the flame only burns you if it's on the candle stick.2009-02-03 15:18:00

Thanks TrapT! I'm going to give those a try! And just a tid bit of information: The candles did not burn you in the Beta. Now they should. Maybe some people are experiencing a glitch whereas the candles they place do not burn you like they are supposed to, or maybe it's like you said, that it does not burn once you detatch it? 2009-02-03 20:55:00

Bit late but YouTube - Monty Python - Four Yorkshiremen


This candle thing sounds good. I swear I must've used about 4 glitches today, teleports, electric costume, candles and thin layers. It's amazing Media Molecule made the only game with glitches you want to happen!

If you go and electricute yourself in a level and hit the pause button, sometimes you catch your sackboy in his seletonized electrified state (wow that sounded very scientific... is selectonized a word >_>) anyway if he is, change it from create mode to play mode and you should still be in that state, you will be glowing, and... you look kinda like a skeleton. and you look cool....and OH YEAH you need to save the costume. well hope that explains it, i will go retry the candle flame glitch to go and add some flare to my buildings on fire literally ()

Cheers!


EDIT: i think that the wicks hurt you and not the actual flame, it only looks like the flame is doing it becuase it is so small when it is on the candle, i will test this theory today. Cheers!

Lol, "selectonized" Cool I have to go check that out!

Also I finally got the candle thing to work with the long one. Made a piece of it turn into disolve, disolved it, but it was still somehow attached (even if not really, hard to explain) so I just crushed the remaining candle stick to have only the flame left. And you're right about the flame, it does not burn... There is an invisible cube underneath it, that is what burns you
