BasicEdit

BehaviourEdit

Sets how the sackbot behaves.

Idle: The sackbot will not move anywhere. It may still look around and perform a few idle animations, however.
Follow: The sackbot will follow the nearest player, as long as they are within the Awareness Radius.
Flee: The sackbot will run away from players.
Patrol: The sackbot will pace up and down like a sentry until it reaches barriers.
Act: Allows you to directly record actions for the sackbot to perform using the standard control scheme.
Follow Waypoint: The sackbot will follow a tag of a specific colour and label that you can set below, within its Awareness Radius.
Hostile: If this is off, the sackbot will stop politely a short distance from you (if set to follow). If this is on, however, the sackbot will barge rudely into your space. Hostility also makes the sackbot use some powerups, like the creatinator and grabinators, against you!
Trigger Radius: The sackbot will only follow, flee or look at something if it is within this trigger radius.

Restart: Tell the sackbot to start performing from the beginning of the recording.
Playback Mode: Choose how the sackbot plays back its recording.
Loop Relative: After finishing one performance, the sackbot starts again where it finished.
Loop Absolute: After finishing one performance, the sackbot attempts to return to its starting position before performing again.

Behaviour ChipsEdit

In the sackbot category of the page of the there is another object called a Behaviour Chip. This object allows you to change certain tweaks on the sackbot in the middle of a level; namely, the behaviour.

Every sackbot comes with a default behaviour chip, which is stuck to the centre of the sackbot's circuit board. The settings of this original behaviour chip directly reflect what you set in the sackbot's general tweak menu, as these are the sackbot's default settings. You can place additional behaviour chips on the circuit board, and trigger them by attaching wires to them. The active behaviour chip is the chip that has been most recently activated.

Controlinators and SackbotsEdit

A sackbot can be controlled from a Controlinator by placing a Controlinator set to Receive on the sackbot's circuit board and having it receive signals from a Controlinator set to Transmit outside the sackbot. Usually it's used by placing a tag to the sackbot and follower to a piece of invisible hologramwithan invisible controllinator. An important thing to note is that Controlinators placed on sackbots' circuit boards have several extra options.

You can feed inputs into Controlinator buttons. So, for instance, if you need a sackbot to grab something, you would feed a signal into the input.
There is an additional option called Override Sackbot. This means that any action the Controlinator tells the sackbot to do takes priority over the sackbot's tweaked actions.

Operational NotesEdit

A sackbots head spins around when slapped, and they do not fall over, UNLESS the Animation is set to 'Sackboy' or a 'Story Character' style.
You cannot slap a sackbot that has a Material tweaker set to non-grabbable.
Sackbots are electrocuted if they come in contact with water.
Sackbots are destroyed by lethalized materials in a similar manner as sackboys. A set to indestructible will not prevent a sackbot from being destroyed by lethal materials or global water. Note however that a sackbot set on fire (either by a Danger Tweaker mid-game or by the Lethalize (Fire) tool in create mode) will not be hurt by fire, and the same with electricity and plasma.
Sackbots make a squeaking noise when moving/posing when set to either 'Sackbot' or 'Zombie' animation style.
Sackbots can actually be resized!

TriviaEdit

The Sackbot Costume is available in 2 ways:

Sackbots are a good way of sharing costumes.
