Overview

The Cutscene Switch (aka the Animatic Switch) is a scrapped LittleBigPlanet 2 logic piece that plays a video when activated. It exists in some levels in the LBP2 Prealpha, and will still function properly in the final game.

Usage and Behaviour

The Cutscene Switch has the appearance of a NOT Gate (resembling a Play button), with one input and one output, but the output comes from the center instead of the side of the switch.

Similar to a Tutorial TV, the Cutscene Switch plays a bik video when activated. Unlike the Tutorial TV, the video played covers the whole screen, and when the video is finished playing the switch will output a signal.

When another video is activated it will replace the current playing video, causing it's switch to output.

The video covering the screen can be skipped at any time by pressing .

Tweaks

The tweak menu for the Cutscene Switch displays a header with "Prize Bubble" at the top, and contains a list of all of the videos inside of the folder gamedata/videos/animatic/. Every video in the folder will be displayed as a button that uses the video's filename. When a button is selected, the video at that file path will play when the switch is activated.

If no videos are in the animatic folder, the player will be locked in a tweak menu with no buttons, and the only way to exit this menu is by having player despawn, be killed, or leave the current level.
