LBPbuilder.com Video Tutorial #1 - Cannon

[jellyfishy100]

This can't shoot impact explosives because they will explode in contact with the piston.But you can simple use an emiter to spawn a fast impact explosive on the front of the cannon.

[177spartin]

can you make it shoot out more then one?

[Jadexter]

can u put a impact explosive in?

[moneygettah]

oh ya

[zimica3000]

tnks you help me

[guneshsun]

awsome

[retsod1995]

cool thanks i made one of these and i made it that when you get in you grab this little hook thing and 3 secs after you get shot out a parachute made of floaty spawns on the hook and you float down, took me a while to get it to work tho :)

[Swablerk]

make it shoot time bombs 0.0

[iseesquares]

why not use a 3 way switch?

[iseesquares]

for the aiming of the canon grabbing is worse because if u miss u have to go all the way up or all the way down , and for lauching the item out of the barrel you should have just done the flipper motion

[NeroZero2009]

@iseesquares: It's more efficent to use grab switches. One for each job, loading, aiming, and firing.

[superawesom3]

awesome dude ima make dat cannon shit. lol yo if yuh keep making stuff like these ill subscribe

[ejenks909]

I can see using a grab switch for the launch, but I think that you should use a three way switch for aiming because it's a lot more precise when it comes to aiming.

[idrinksunnyd]

pretty good

[Koda924]

Wow great tutorial. That's awesome that you're helping people who aren't as good at being engineers. Like me, not that I'm dumb, I just have trouble making machines in this game, haha. Great tutorial, thanks!

[etp1ayer]

[josephgrovers]

You're one of the uneducated bastards on youtube that cant admit to their mistakes and have to curse at people to make your idiot self feel better. What you said was completely unnecessary.

[paclac1337]

[racedaz72]

[Lankey718]

Ok thanks man

[95Acopse]

this is wrong 4 me, because for some reason, the background which its all attaxhed to just starts to spin along with the cannon

help?

[imaclownandwillkillu]

It needs to be glued to the floor, or you can just make it go into the ground when you first make it.

[95Acopse]

ok tanks but too late i figured it out now XD

tanku anywayzz

[Crazydude978]

thaanks i made a cannon using these steps it is awesome! thanks!

[elfgelf]

how did you put the pistons speed at 0.3? mine goes 0.1 - 0.5 - 1.0 - 1.5 etc!

[Crazydude978]

yea mine too

[kudlacz11]

use analog stick!

[elfgelf]

thanks!

[AutoBlogg]

[rytomkins]

[jkid76]

[badazzpresidents23]

do u glue the cannon to background??

[inowannagetoutabed]

cool thanx!!!

[NaRutoFINALsasuke344]

hahaha,i tried it n the piston dont apear but sill works XD

[Eric17911]

The piston doesn't appear when you set the minimum length to 0.. dunno why but yeah.

[RenegadeAssaultSquad]

Hey, please respond! I attach my switch to the wobble bolt, but it does NOTHING when I grab the sponge. Help!

[xXxDonutBoyxXx]

how do you make a zero thickness plane? O.o

[jrocker3001]

a zero thickness plane (im guessing cuz im still a noob at this game :D just got it) hold R2 or R1 i forgot then your object like stretches out towards you or gets thinner so yea just try hitting R1 or R2

[wyattvand]

could you make a creature because me and my bro are having a hard time getting it to follow us

[no3rdw]

thanks so much!  Excellent tutorial

[Xxblink7]

two thumbs up

[krypto777777]

[ellis123lee]

definately best tutorial ,

thanks

[kickit246]

ya this is a sweet vid, best tutorial out ther. I made one exactly how u said, but w/o the grid and pieces kept breaking left right and center. ty vm

[elfgelf]

culd you get the switch to shoot, and make it shoot and reload at the same time

[8shaky1]

could u put the shoot button inside the cannon so u can shoot ur self out?

[DiViSiOnX1144]

[jpeg1991]

very well made tutorial. Cant wait for more. your site is also very good and helpful.

Thank you

[edgarproductions]

good video

[MerauderTDL]

Great tutorial. I made a similar one in the beta, but A) was much smaller, B) didn't have the directional control (which I'm quite fond of, so kudos), and C) combined the loading & shooting into a single grab switch that would emit an impact explosive into the barrel and fire it out via piston simultaneously. How I managed to not just blow up the explosives with the fast moving piston I don't know, but it worked great! :)

[DaveSmurph]

I find cannons are better if you put the piston to flipper motion in the direction your shooting and set the grab switch to 1 shot

[japii]

Ya, as I mentioned in the video, often times this can result in the plunger simply passing through the object you're trying to shoot, or something ends up breaking because it's moving too fast. With flipper motion enabled you really don't have any control in how fast it propels the object, but if you just set its total lapse time to something like 0.3 or 0.4 you can control how powerful you want the cannon to be. It just provides better control.

[TheBackGardenNinja]

great video

you should make more
