le717 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnT4s3LZzFg Does anyone else find it disturbing that in LEGO Island 2 you can sneak up and pinch people in their rear and they don't backhand you? aidenpons, Brigs, Alcom Isst and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quisoves Potoo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I always interpreted that as the islanders being startled by Pepper, not as them being pinched by him. Though, on a slightly related note, Pepper can get away with hitting the denizens of LEGO Island with pizza in IXS. Nota Bene, all you United Rock Raiders, if you ever want to attract friends to our glorious site, tell them of the scintillating discussions we have over LEGO Media canon, concerning such fascinating subjects as Pepper's debated misanthropic behavior. le717 and Brigs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the correct way to view this, but everyone sees things differently. It does not help I have to hit the interact key to do this, and it does not happen on its own.

I guess I should go back and check. I could see why it might seem like pinching, then. le717, Seaborgium and aidenpons 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If an NPC is facing away from you when you try to talk to them, and they haven't noticed you, they'll jump and turn to face you. You don't have to touch them or anything like that, just be within talking distance. I believe it's scripted into a few cutscenes as well. Not sure how you're getting something dirtier out of that.

Seaborgium Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Out of context, the video makes it look like that. However, if memory does not fail me the same animation is used for other things as well and can be triggered in other ways. Of course, if you want to believe that's what Pepper's doing, go ahead.

Ben24x7 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I believe I am mistaken, but wasn't there an animation for Pepper which involved him tapping people's shoulders? *Thinks for a while* Okay, those are Brickster bots. Darn it. Edited September 14, 2014 by Ben24x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben24x7 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I suppose you could >edit the cutscenes if you knew the animation's name. You mean make Pepper do the "tap-on-islander-shoulder" animation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean make Pepper do the "tap-on-islander-shoulder" animation? Yes. Maybe someone could look into the cutscene files further to see what the limits are. Would be interesting to see this: Turn the Infomaniac into the Infopediac and make Pepper fly up, land on his head, and spin on it quickly.

Jimbob Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think Pepper's a bit of a hypocrite to enjoy doing that to others when he hates it being done to him... aidenpons, Seaborgium, Quisoves Potoo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
