Toggle to let Sticker Textboxes affect things outside their scope level

TheGoldNinja10 October 05, 2022 18:37

I planned on using the sticker toggle to make a paint gun that colors the surface it hits, however it's not possible to emit or teleport gadgets alone, and if its attached to a sculpt, then it'll only appear on that sculpt! It's a useful feature in most cases, but not when you want to place stickers in arbitrary locations at runtime. a solution to this could be a toggle to override the way text boxes only project onto their own group, and make them apply to the whole scene regardless of what group they're in. (Maybe Always on Top could do this?)

  You can emit gadgets alone, but you have to use the "group decay trick":

  1. Group the gadget that you want to emit with something else.
  2. Make the Emitter emit that group.
  3. Scope into the group - you'll need to disable "Preview Invisibility" to do this.
  4. Delete the object that you didn't want to emit - at this point, the group decays to the single logic gadget that you wanted to emit, and the Emitter will emit that.
