A Rail Hook is an object in LittleBigPlanet 3 that latches onto and travels along Bendy Rails, carrying any connected objects with them.

Tweaks

Properties

Hook Motion: ( Motorized •‎ Non-Motorized ) Sets the behaviour of the Rail Hook. Motorized The Rail Hook propells itself along the rail based on the tweaks specified below. Non-Motorized The Rail Hook does not propell itself, relying instead on gravity, momentum and the rail's curvature to move.

Speed

Speed: (0.0 - 100.0) Sets the Rail Hook's top speed. At 0.0, it will not move.

Pause: (0.0s - 86000.0) Sets how long the Rail Hook waits at each end of the rail before moving again.

Reversed: ( No •‎ Yes ) Reverses the Rail Hook's movement direction, e.g. right becomes left, and vice-versa.

Strength

Acceleration: (0% - 100%) Sets how quickly the Rail Hook reaches its top speed.

Deceleration: (0% - 100%) Determines how quickly the Rail Hook slows down.

Input Action

Input Action: ( On/Off •‎ Direction •‎ Positional •‎ Speed scale •‎ Single cycle ) Determines how the Rail Hook responds to the signal it receives through its "Input Value" input. On/Off The Rail Hook starts moving when it receives a digital ON signal, and stops when turned OFF. How quickly it starts and stops is determined by is Strength tweaks. Direction When the Rail Hook receives a digital ON signal, it begins travelling in the direction of the rail's end point; if OFF, it goes in the opposite direction. Positional The Rail Hook moves to a specific point on the Bendy Rail depending on the analogue signal it recieves, e.g. 50% represents the half-way point on the rail. Speed scale The Rail Hook's speed is determined by the strength of the incoming analogue signal. Single cycle Each time the Rail Hook receives a digital ON signal, it performs one round trip before stopping at the rail's origin.

Visuals

Visible in Play Mode: ( No •‎ Yes ) Determines whether or not the object will be rendered in Play Mode.

Audio

Mute: ( No •‎ Yes ) Sets whether or not to play sound effects when travelling along rails, or when attaching/detaching from them.
