Xbox help
 
i'min labor egg storage, i have killed all the baddies, got everyone together, and i'm standing infront of the doors with the 6 levers.

I press & hold Y to get all by buddies around me, then tap B to get them to work ...

Normally they would pull the levers .. but they are not?!

Any ideas

Keep trying. Keep telling them to work, although leave at least 10 seconds for them to sort themselves. I've seen the code take that long to process the command before, it's a little startling but rare.

They should work the levers. If they aren't standing by them and not listening to your gamespeak command at all, try from another angle, and if that doesn't work, pick them up and throw them unto another spot and try again. It's a bug in the code somewhere, but it doesn't happen that often. Annoying if it does, however. :)

Hope that helps!

Tried that, been on the level for a week now and it's doin my head in.

I don't think I need to do anything else.

I have tried to get them to pull the levers from behind & infront & it makes no difference at all :-(

Hey!

You're better then me. I'm still trying to kill all the baddies. How can I kill them to walk with my Mydokons to the six levelers??

I sent you a PM about that one, stübli. No fear :)


flaphead: Well, you should be able to do that, or else there is a major bug in the game. You're sure you have 6 and not just 5 Muds there? Since I don't think they pull the levers if there's not enough Muds. Also, make sure you're not to close to one of the levers yourself... I think the fact you can reach one blocks the Mudokon also at it from pulling it (and those the whole lot?).

Hope that helps...

This may not apply to the level you are on and this is kind of hard to explain, but it may shed some light on why the scrubs aren't working when told to:

There was some level where there were more than one group of scrubs (about five or six in each, and by "group", I mean "were all scrubbing the floor in the same area"). I had some scrubs from each group come with me to pull a set of levers, but when I got them there, they didn't work ("Do what?" "There's nothing to do, Abe!"). Not until I got all of one group of scrubs together by the levers did they work.

So obviously, there's some programming that links groups of scrubs together and if you mix different groups, they don't recognize that they can work together (at least, not all the time).

Hope this makes sense.

Make sure you have all the Muds there when i was there i stood in the front of the entrance with the choped up bodies (one that looks like a Elum) And i simply commanded them to work they all went to a lever and pulled it. So what ever the problem may be im not sure.:fuzconf:

Sometimes many levers can cause problems, but I find that if you have following you the exact number of Mudokons to pull all the switches, it works better. Also, you should be ready to pull a lever if they don't.
