Hi LBPC! trip090 here with something that I created that could actually be of use to you creators out there!
I present: The Destruction Device!
Ok, I know it doesn't look like much, but this little do-hickey could be the answer to you problems. So don't judge a book by its cover, let me explain it to you.
Essentially, this device is a creature brain that doesn't give out points. Yes, you heard me correctly. The Destruction Device destroys anything just like a creature brain but doesn't give out points!
It's easy to use, just hide it somewhere out of the way. Then hook up each thing you want to disappear to the right-hand side section (the bit that isn't the dome) with either:
a) A piece of string if the object doesn't move.
b) A piece of elastic with 0.0 strength if the object does move.
Then, to destroy the device and the selected objects, simply dissolve the green base. It's that easy! However, the device does leave the left-hand dome behind but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, just stick a dark matter platform underneath it to catch the dome.
The device is out in a level. Just search for trip090 and you'll find it in a level called "Destruction Device". Also, this is a prototype - a prototype. Remember that. I'm still seeing what it can do.
I'm going to keep upgrading it to try and get it smaller, even easier to use and looking much better. This isn't the final design!
So, tell me - what do you think of my creation?

Thankyou SO much
This'll be alot easier than demitting most of the time(unless you need to emit stuff again and again)

It's very nice and I'll probably find situations where it's preferable to a demitter, but in most cases a demitter would serve the same purpose with lower thermo cost. I'm not sure if everybody understands exactly how easy demitters are to use these days: otherwise they wouldn't try so hard to avoid them. Ever since the game was patched so that switching to play mode doesn't break emitter association, you can rig one-time demitters easier than any other kill method.
This trick would be especially useful for getting rid of emitted vehicles. I tried to rig a vehicle with its own demitter and fire it from an emitter once, but it didn't work. Your device can be added to the logic center or a vehicle to provide a killswitch. That's what you should call it: the killswitch. Or, you know... destruction device. That works too.
So it looks like you used the compression tool to make the dome overlap the dissolve. Is that right?Last edited by Sehven; 06-08-2010 at 11:06 PM.

A permanent demmiter uses less thermo than this
Good find though!

this takes up hardly any thermo too. and one it's activated, the objects gone. it doesn't need to be emitted anywhere else.
i'm not saying this device should be a replacement for a the de-emitters, oh no. it has it's own special qualities. trust me, this thing will be extremely useful.
i'm going to put it in a level today. just a level with a few demonstrations and it as a prize. stick around.Last edited by trip090; 06-06-2010 at 08:16 AM.

On its own, one of them wouldn't take up much thermo, but if you're using it on a dozen or so objects, it adds up. A lot of us have to scrimp on thermo as much as possible, especially the collected objects one.
and one it's activated, the objects gone. it doesn't need to be emitted anywhere else.

unlike a creature brain, it doesn't destroy everything that's glued together. it only gets rid of the things you hook up to it.Last edited by Sehven; 06-08-2010 at 11:06 PM.

EDIT: just been experimenting and i've found out what makes it disappear in individual segments. sticking dark matter to the object seems to do it.
i really stress this shouldn't be compared to de-emitting. this does the same job but for different situations. like you said Sehven, it's useful for destroying emitted cars. this isn't here to replace de-emitting, it's just a method for destroying things.Last edited by trip090; 06-06-2010 at 08:28 AM.

Thanks alot, it's gonna be very useful, I'm getting tired of using dissoluble material, that is way too noticeable...

Thanks!

the level with this in should be out within the hour. it's a tutorial so it's taking a while.

Well, the two aren't exactly the same. An object destroyed with a creature brain will fall apart before its components dissolve, whereas a demitted object will immediately vanish in a puff of smoke*, so which method you use will depend on which of the two effects you want.
If you don't really care which of the two effects you get, then a demitter is cheaper on the thermo than a creature brain. Indeed, I believe the maximum number of creature brains you can have in a level is very low.
* Unless it's made entirely of glass, in which case it just vanishes without any smoke.My Levels

it's your creation at the end of the day. it doesn't matter which method you use, as long as it's the one you want to use.
oh yeah, it's out in a level now. i think it's near north america. so yeah, if you want to get your hands on it, head over to that level.At Least I Have Chicken!__________________________________________________

In particular i'd say this is most useful if you want to emit multiple times and have the spwaning point mobile, as mobile demitters are extremely limited in what is achieveable.
Ahhh, we're gonna have to rethink all of our logic skills for LBP2 anyways, I'm sure there will be plenty for me to do then
well, i don't overly understand it. i tested it out on a character i'd made and it only destroyed the piece of the character attached via a piece of string to the device. the other piece either stayed where they were or fell off because they where glued to the piece that got destroyed. usually though it just gets rid of the whole thing.
EDIT: just been experimenting and i've found out what makes it disappear in individual segments. sticking dark matter to the object seems to do it.
As everyone has said, whilst the two techniques are essentially the same result (removing an object from play), the subtle differences between them mean that you will likely use them in different scenarios and there is always the aesthetic difference to take into account. Having muiltiple ways to achieve the same goal is always win IMO.-- ? --

You can't directly destroy dark matter. It has to be glued to another material.
