I'm tinkering with creating a mount using Swoop: the idea being that Sackboy can jump onto a passing Swoop-bot's back and take control of him, using him to fly around the level before dismounting. I want it to look just like he's actually sitting on Swoop's back and I see that there's a saddle animation in the animation tweaker so it seems Sumo intended for us to be able to do this. The problem is with the follower: instead of a speed value that you can crank as high as you like, it only goes to 100 now and Sackboy just can't keep up during dives. Also, his rotation doesn't always match Swoop's (it does pretty well, because Sackboy will naturally turn in the direction he's moving but it's not always perfect). Has anybody tinkered with this and found a better way? And no, riding in a controllinator won't work: it'd still need to be stuck on a follower and Sackboy wouldn't pivot in it. [edit] Well I feel pretty dumb. Not sure what I did differently but it's working pretty much exactly now. I guess all I needed was to enable the actual saddle animation. Still would like to hear if anybody else has experimented with this and what tips they might have.

Animations for sure. I was favoring the idea of using oddsock as a mount in a top down rpg type level. So I can definitely see the allure. I assume you're testing as a side scroller, and sadly I've not had the chance to try that out.

Yup, sidescroller. My whole problem came due to the fact that I had scaled Swoop up but not sackboy. I used a big of sticker with a follower and tag so keep Sackboy up high enough to match Swoop's position but it only worked while Swoop was upright. As soon as he did a dive, Sackboy would be way too high. I'm sure it'd be possible to work around this and switch followers based on Swoop's movements but that's more elaborate than I feel like getting with this so normal-sized Swoop it is. Now my problem is the lack of costumes available for Swoop (I can pretty much ride an eagle, a toucan, a space-suited Swoop, or the dragon from the DLC).
