Using paint without the MGS pack

[pivottt]

This glitch is very weird. To make it, you will need :

• A creatinator
• A danger tweaker set to non-lethal

Set the creatinator to infinite lifespan and shoot an electic projectile. Pause before it hits the ground. Place the danger tweaker on it, then delete the tweaker. The projectile is now invisible. Copy-paste it and voilà: the copy is a paint ball. Repeat this operation but change your player color before shooting to create different paint colors. They react like paint : they even activate MGS paint sensors! Note that this also works with fire balls, but they are visible when yoy make them non-lethal. The problem is that they don't make the paint sound unless you rewind or use their copy. Using electic ones reminds you to use the copy. When you don't use a creatinator but just put them directly in the level, the projectiles will be red for fire and white for electricity, but they will both paint white. Doing it with plasma is even worst : it creates gravity-free paint balls, but you can choose their color before making them non-lethal. You might want this if you plan on creating a ship with paint bullets.

Now the only thing I need is someone who can test if it is possible to share those paint balls even with people who don't have the MGS pack.

Hmm... interesting! perhaps Mm based the other bullets on the paint bullet... that would explain the glitch a little

I'd imagine that was the case, considering that in an earlier build of the game where the tools bag hadn't been completed the projectiles were all named "water", and included the paintball.

There is a small difference with the paint : it is 2x the size. When you shrink it to be the size of a paint bullet, it looks oval in the Z axis.
I made a level with giveaway, can someone without the MGS pack test it ? I want to see if we can share them.

Hi, pivottt!

Thanks for this great tutorial. I made video tutorial based on yours. It is with russian subs because it is for Russian LBP community site, but it is video, so all can be clear without subs, I think.

Here is the video:
