Sackflip! (Sackboy Backflip) | LBP3 Tutorial/Showcase

In this LBP3 tutorial, I'll be showing you how to make a backflip animation for Sackboy. You'll be able to flip to the front and back layers, left and right, and all 4 directions. This can be used as a dodge or something fun to do in an RPG Hangout/Free roam level.

Please note: This is a Tutorial/Showcase. I usually do this tutorial format if the creation is something that I featured in a level or posted on social media. It's more fast paced than a regular tutorial, but I do emphasize key concepts that you can apply to other creations.

Key Concepts in the Sackflip video:

How to rotate your character for a single rotation cycle (3:39)
When to use a high/low blend time for the character animation tweaker (5:03)
How to make Sackboy face a specific direction (9:00)
How to prevent players from cheating by holding a button (10:19)
What the direction splitter does (16:58)
How to make an accurate player sensor (21:58)

In my tutorials I explain the purpose of each wire connection, gadget, and tweak setting so you can use that knowledge in your other creations. If you’re confused by my voice, I’m female but I play as a Sackboy so I can easily recreate outfits I've seen my favorite dancers and rappers wear.
