This article is a tad short. A stub, if you will. You can help the Imagisphere Knowledge Base by expanding it with more information!

To do: Overview of the powerup's behaviour. Development history. Perhaps some examples of how the powerup has been used in Story levels.

The Creatinator is a powerup that allows Sackboy to shoot all sorts of objects from his head. It has been used as the basis for several projectile-based powerups since its introduction, including the Blink Ball in LittleBigPlanet 3.

Tweaks

Physical Properties: ( Static •‎ Dynamic ) When Static, the object cannot be moved while time is unpaused. When Dynamic, the object can be moved and is subject to gravity.

Choose Object

Object to Emit: (Enabled Objects, Collected Objects, User Objects, Community Objects) The object set to be emitted from the Creatinator. Items can have an internal flag enabled to appear in this selection menu.

Shoot at touchpoint: ( No •‎ Touchscreen •‎ Rear Touch Pad •‎ Both ) If set to one of the touch options, the Creatinator shoots towards the player's finger on either the Touchscreen, Rear Touch Pad, or both. Otherwise, the player aims with as normal.

Ammo: (1 - 1,000) Sets how many times the chosen object can be emitted by the Creatinator. Setting this value below 1 grants the player infinite ammo.

Max Emitted At Once: (0 - 100) Determines how many instances of the chosen object can exist in the scene at a time.

Recycle Old Objects: ( No •‎ Yes ) If set to Yes, then once the player reaches the Max Emitted At Once value, the oldest instance of the chosen object will be deleted to make room for more.

Speed

Linear Velocity: (0 - 100) Determines how fast the object is shot out when emitted. If set to 0, it simply falls.

Angular Velocity: (-1500 - 0 - 1500) Determines how fast the object spins when shot, and in which direction.

Accuracy: (0% - 100%) Determines how accurate the Creatinator's shots are, indicated by a coloured cone in front of the cannon's barrel. At 0%, projectiles will travel in a random direction within a 90° angle radius of the cannon's barrel.

Timing

Single shot: ( No •‎ Yes ) If set to Yes, the Creatinator will only shoot one projectile at a time. If set to No, the Creatinator will fire a constant stream of objects as long as is held.

Rate Of Fire: (0s - 86,400.0s) Sets how long to wait between shots. The lights on the helmet will dim during this cooldown period.

Lifetime: (∞s - 0s - 86,400.0s) How long emitted objects last before they are deleted. Setting this value below 1 sets the lifetime to infinite.

Visuals

Visual Style: ( Creatinator •‎ Goggles ) Sets which visual model the Creatinator will use.

Effects

Destroy Effect: ( Disappear •‎ Dissolve •‎ Shrink •‎ Explode •‎ Fade •‎ Splat •‎ Fall Apart •‎ Vaporise •‎ Confetti ) Determines which effect to use when the object's lifetime expires.
