Branches Tool

Branches
Type:	Edit Track
Game:	LittleBigPlanet Karting

The Branches tool is used to generate alternate routes on a Race Track.

Usage

When the Branches tool is selected, the cursor conforms to the track, and the player can scrub along it by pushing up/down on . A coloured flagpole appears on the side of the nearest Control Point, with changing which side it appears on.

If the flag is green, pressing places the start of the branch. A preview of the new road appears on the minimap, which updates as the player moves the end point. Once both ends of the branch have been placed, a new road will be generated between the two points. This new road can be edited similarly to the main track; when using any of the other Track Edit tools, pressing or (depending on which side of the road it branches from) will switch from the main track to the branch. If the player scrubs the cursor to either end of the branch, they will return to the main road.

Branches can only be created from the main road; it is not possible to create a branch within a branch.

The Branches tool can delete existing Branches by pressing while the flag pole is on top of a branch. If there are two branches on the same control point, the one that's on the same side as the flag will be deleted. Branches are also destroyed if the player re-rolls a segment of the main track that contains one or more branches.
