The Material Tweaker is an Object Tweaker gadget that changes the physical properties of the object it is attached to.

Usage and Behaviour

The Material Tweaker is always active by default, but has an input to turn it on/off with logic. With a wire connected, it turns on when it receives a digital ON signal, deactivating when it turns OFF.

Tweaks

Gameplay

Grabbability: ( Default •‎ Single Grab •‎ Not Grabbable •‎ Grabbable ) Sets whether or not the object can be grabbed by Sackthings or Movinator Cursors. Default The object uses its default grab setting. Single Grab The object can be grabbed, but only by one Sackthing at a time. Not Grabbable The object cannot be grabbed, regardless of whether it is normally grabbable. If a Sackthing is grabbing the object, they are forced to let go. Grabbable The object can be grabbed, regardless of whether it is normally grabbable.

Grabbable By: ( Player and Cursor •‎ Player Only •‎ Cursor Only ) Determines whether the material can be grabbed by Sackthings, Movinator Cursors, or both.

Climbable: ( No •‎ Yes ) Determines whether or not Sackboy can climb in front of the material.

Behaviour

Bouncy: (0% - 100%) Sets how much velocity gets reflected when the object collides with a surface, or when another object collides with it.

Friction: (0% - 100%) Determines how slippery the object is. 0% means it is completely frictionless, while 100% represents the material's default friction (slippery materials cannot be made non-slippery).

Stickiness: ( Normal •‎ Non-Stick •‎ Sticky ) Determines how adhesive the object is. Normal The object does not stick to other objects, but can be picked up by sticky objects. Non-Stick The object cannot be stuck to sticky objects. Sticky The object will stick to other objects, as if the player had glued them together manually.

Indestructible: ( No •‎ Yes ) If set to Yes, the material's shape cannot be affected by explosives, and it cannot be crushed by heavy object. Note that it will still be destroyed if it goes too far out of bounds.

Effects

Remove Bevel: ( No •‎ Yes ) If set to Yes, and if the tweaker is applied to a material, its defaul bevel will be replaced with a sharper, more angular bevel. This is particularly noticeable with sponge, or any material that has a rounded bevel.

Cast Shadows: ( No •‎ Yes ) Determines whether or not the object should cast shadows.

Visuals

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

Audio

Physics Sounds: ( No •‎ Yes ) Sets whether or not to play the chosen hazard's associated ambient loops.
