My little tradition with each LBP is to refresh myself in create mode by making a Bomb Survival level. Every level I've made, the bombs would always kill, no matter what plane you were on, as long as they were near. In LBP3, I made a bomb level using 5 layers to work with. I set the bombs to drop in the 3rd plane (middle), so their blast radius was always 2 layers, no more than in any other LBP. The level I made, (Grappling Hook Bomb Survival V. 2.6) was working fine all day yesterday, with the bombs killing on any plane, until just recently. I tweaked a few (unrelated) things in the level, re-published it, and now my bombs don't appear to kill on any plane other than the one they happen to be on? Was this some sort of hotfix from Sumo Digital?

Huh. I kind of like that it's stuck to only one plane. Although I can see how some wouldn't like that. Is there an explosion setting in the bombs?

I would call it a glitch if it suddenly changed, but maybe it could have been something that they changed, yeah. Have you tried republishing it again, or changing the tweaks you did last time to see if anything happens again?

Well that's what's weird is I had the level copied the previous night where everything was working smoothly, and nothing had been changed after the fact, and even booting up that version of the level, the problem shows up there as well. EDIT: Just tried detonating a bomb in a scrap level I had, and it too only kills me on the layer the bomb's on. Starting to think the lethal depth to bombs has been hotfixed or something.

Just tried it as well. I guess it's something they changed.

Definitely want to say there was some sort of hotfix recently, because now even LBP2 bomb survival levels that carried over only kill on the layer the bombs land on. Hmm.

Maybe an easy fix is to add a broadcast microchip that broadcasts to Sackboy, then add on it a tag sensor and connect it to a kill switch(or whatever the thing that kills sackboy is called), then add a tag to the bombs that only activates before the bomb detonates by a fraction of a second. that way sackboy will die at almost the same time the bomb is detonated if he's in range, no matter which layer he's on, and you can make the bomb look like whatever you want, you won't be held down by that grey old box from lbp1, THIS IS LBP3! USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!! also if your going to use that bomb make sackboy indestructible to it so that the only way he can die is through the tag sensor,

I solved the issue by attaching 4 other bombs, all invisible, and dephysicalized, but set to detonate the same time as original bomb, thus killing the player on all 5 planes. Thanks for the help, guys

I really wish there was a setting for bomb effects on more or fewer planes. Bomb survivals are actually fun in MP, but I feel the genre could use some work. Control over what layers a bomb effects would make for some bad a bomb survivals. And then they would become cancer yet again.

There was a thread, or posts, about also adding in an explosion radius option.
