What do you want to try out in zero gravity?

I am aware of that, so I meant water pellets when I mentioned it in my last post. ^^;

Not so sure about using sackbots, though.

I would add destructible objects that float around when broken and maybe some sort of "boost" that you could enable which would push you in a certain direction.

Also, the ability to "rotate" around would be REALLY cool, maybe the camera could follow the rotation aswell?

I've been testing that out, but so far it isn't as great as I thought it would be. Moving around in one direction while facing the other direction upside-down looked kind of broken to me. I'll see if I can make the camera follow the rotation, though, and if so, determine if it makes rotating look a lot better.

EDIT: You CAN! All you have to do with switch on Local Space. Now to try it in action...

EDIT 2: It certainly makes rotating look a lot better, but the controls do not rotate with the bot, unfortunately, at least with what little skill I have with such logic of that magnitude.

hmmmm how about flames?
im curious how a flame move in zero gravity, because they're always go upwards but how about in zero gravity did they also go upwards?

Butch! i would love to see what you've come up with

Just because of few simple things:
1. When gravity is down to zero, using bounce pads don't make your character go any higher than usual, but it will make you flow in the air about 20 seconds.
2. Jumps in gravity 0.2 (20%) are much more flowy than jumps in 0 gravity.
3. In gravity zero grappling hook is tool as crazy as bounce pad set to 100 in 0% gravity. It'll make sackboy go very high with a little slip of finger, and sackboy falls veeeeery very slowly down...

well i also wanna know what would happen when flames move in zero gravity.. Yeah i sure would like to do this.

im exited to see this

Like I said in my first post, I'm not talking about 0% gravity in the global settings, but actually no gravity whatsoever, meaning no falling whatsoever.

However, you've still pointed out a few very good points.

1. Even in its lowest setting, bounce pads can send you up at a decent speed. It will take some setting up just right if I tend to use it in the level after this demo.
2. If you jump in zero gravity, you'll launch off to the top of the level in a matter of seconds. Since I have hidden kill barriers all around, that would've been a very major problem. However, I've added some logic to combat this so the player won't need to worry about it.
3. It's impossible for the sackperson to have no gravity, having no circuitboard itself and only alterable gameplay-wise by the level's settings. A sackbot will have to be worn in order to achieve it. Therefore, the grappling hook will not be worried about since, to our great misfortune, sackbots cannot use it...

Well, since it's a physical projectile in LBP2, it'll surely move just like water, no matter what gravity they share. In real life, however, fire relies on oxygen, so in space it would be impossible to make one.

ohh ok then i dont have any more ideas :(

Do not worry, KRX. I got you covered.

Fire - KRX
Reactions - Moonface
Water pellets - Bloo_boy
Explosives and a gun - Alexxerth
Rocket - killmanx27

I've resumed construction of the tech demo, but it'll still take a while to finish. To help keep your interest, though, here's a screenshot of a small portion of what's to come!

AWESOME !!!!!! if you need help just let me know

i'll gladly help

i would want to try jumping at the speed of light! sounds like lots of fun, and useful too, shooting a player across a level that fast would create an awe like almost no other.

Sounds pretty difficult to pull off well, though. At that speed, you may need a bit of logic to make sure the player doesn't lose control.

I would like to eat pancakes in zero-gravity...

Lol, well, that doesn't sound too productive.

Anyways, I'm afraid I need to hold off on the project for (hoping at the most) a little bit. Got a couple problems at home I need to take care of.

srry to hear about that m8! well if u get around to it... try paintanators/creatonators with w/e u think would be good(bombs, platforms,landmines,etc. :) ) if you get to it!

Well usually yes, but not always. For example how do you think that sun works? It definetly has no oxygen in it.
