Ready for the BLAM?! The POW?!
Objects awaaaaaaaay!
Port
Input
| Port name | Port function | Input operation |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | When a value other than 0.00 is received at this port, objects will be launched. Objects won't launch faster than the launch interval. If input is received again before the launch interval has passed, it will be ignored. If nothing is connected to this port, a constant input value of 1.00 will be assumed. | Determines whether a signal is or is not equal to 0.00 |
Output
None
Connection
| Port name | Port function |
|---|---|
| Upper connection port | Connect this port to the lower connection port of another Nodon to physically link objects. This connection port can only connect to the Texture Nodon's lower connection port. |
| Lower connection port | This is a special type of port that physically links objects generated by Nodon on the game screen. Connect it to the upper connection port of another Nodon to link them. When connected to an object, it will launch objects from the connected object. Person Nodon, Car Nodon, UFO Nodon, Object Nodon, Fancy-Object Nodon, Text-Object Nodon, Number-Object Nodon, Moving-Object Nodon, and Rotating-Object Nodon can connect to this connection port only with the upper connection port. |

Color
Sets the color of the object to be launched.
| Setting value | Description |

| Auto | The color will be applied automatically, depending on the properties. See also: When Color Is Set to Auto |
| Blue Red Green Yellow Light blue Pink Lime green Orange Purple Brown White Black | Changes the color as specified. |
Material
Sets the material of the object to be launched.
| Setting value | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal | The basic material for objects. |
| Bouncy | A rubberlike material. Bouncy and hard to slip on. |
| Slippery | An ice-like material with a slippery surface. |
| Floaty | A lighter-than-air, balloon-like material that floats upward. |
| Zero gravity | A strange material that neither falls nor floats upward! |
Connection Point
Sets how the connection point of the launch origin will be determined.
| Setting value | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto | Chooses the closest connection points of the objects automatically based on factors such as location, orientation, and size of the objects. |
| Manual | The objects will be joined by the faces set in the Own Connection Point and Target Connection Point options. |
Own Connection Point
The indicated face on the launch origin will connect to the target object’s connection point.
You can choose from X+, Y+, Z+, X-, Y-, Z-, or Center.
Only effective when Connection Point is set to Manual.
Target Connection Point
The face indicated on the target object will join to the face indicated in the Own Connection Point option.
You can choose from Center, X-, X+, Y-, Y+, Z-, or Z+.
Only effective when Connection Point is set to Manual.
Launch Direction
Sets the direction that the objects will launch in.
You can choose from X+, Y+, Z+, X-, Y-, or Z-.
Launch Speed
Sets the initial velocity of the launched object.
You can choose between 0.00 and 100.00. Measured in meters per second.
Launch Interval (seconds)
Sets the minimum amount of time in between individual object launches.
Measured in seconds. Can be set to between 0.10 and 100.00.
Size
Sets the size of the object to be launched.
When the object’s shape is set to Box, you’ll be able to set the X, Y, and Z dimensions separately.
When the object’s shape is set to Cylinder, the ratio between X and Z will be fixed, but their ratios to Y can be adjusted.
When the object’s shape is set to Sphere, the ratio between X, Y, and Z will be fixed.
X, Y, and Z can be set to between 0.10 and 10.00. Measured in meters.
Position
Sets the position of the launch origin when the game is initialized or reset.
X, Y, and Z can each be set to between -100.00 and 100.00.
Measured in meters.
Rotation
Sets the direction of the launch origin when the game is initialized or reset.
The X, Y, and Z axes can each be set to between -180.00° and 180.00°.
Other
When the Launch-Object Nodon is embedded into an object-generating Nodon, the object and the launched objects won’t be able to collide until after they’ve separated completely for the first time.
Three Types of Launch-Object Nodon
Launch-Object Nodon can be divided into three different types depending on the limit on the number of objects they can have launched at once.
The launch limits are as follows:
・Launch-Object Nodon (1 object) can launch 1 object per Nodon.
・Launch-Object Nodon (10 objects) can launch 10 objects per Nodon.
・Launch-Object Nodon (100 objects) can launch 100 objects per Nodon.
When an object is launched that exceeds the limit, the oldest launched object will be deleted.
Call Limit
You can call up to a certain number of Launch-Object Nodon per game. The upper limit varies depending on how many objects they can launch:
・64 Launch-Object Nodon (1 object)
・16 Launch-Object Nodon (10 objects)
・2 Launch-Object Nodon (100 objects)
Special Costs
All object-generating Nodon impose a “cost,” and the cost limit per game is 512.
Note that this cost is separate from the overall 512 Nodon limit.
Object-related Nodon other than the Launch-Object Nodon have a cost of 1.
Launch-Object Nodon costs are calculated differently, as shown below.
・Launch-Object Nodon (1 object) impose a cost of 3 per Nodon.
・Launch-Object Nodon (10 objects) impose a cost of 12 per Nodon.
・Launch-Object Nodon (100 objects) impose a cost of 102 per Nodon.
