Wheely Switches

[standby250]

Hey there!
I am trying to make a hamster wheel like switch for my level - but I am having some trouble. I have seen and played rtm's level on wheely switches, but it is more of an object showcase than a tutorial. Wondering if anyone could explain to me how to make one of those switches from scratch?
Thanks!

rtm223 recently made the level copyable.

Yeah I know... I've fiddled around with it but I'm still confused!

Oh, but which specific model do you need help with?

[standby250]

Well, basically, I want there to be a hamster wheel type thing which you have to run around in in order to lower a drawbridge. (Not very original, I know). I was also thinking about a two player one in which one player would have to run around in a wheel in order for the other one to cross over, then they would take over the running so the other guy can cross.

rz22g published a level with an alternative method for wheel switches. It's higher-thermo but a lot easier to understand. I don't have LBP turned on right now, but I'm sure comph or rtm will come and describe it to you.

Nah, just copied rtm's design exactly. My advice if you want to understand it is to reverse engineer it.

The key is bolt stacking. If you place bolts on a piece of material and then move it to where you want, you can place two bolts directly on top of one another.

Thanks! Comph! Rtm! Appear!

(Did it work?)

EDIT: Wow, that worked quickly! But what bolts am I stacking on top of each other? Or, would it be better if I played that level Incinerator22 mentioned, and then came back if I still needed help?

(Did it work?)

Like a charm

Solved! Taking apart Rtm's switches did work after all!
Thanks guys for all your help!
Now... all I need is a helpful mod to lock this thread....
