Tools Bag/LittleBigPlanet 2

There are eight pages in the LittleBigPlanet 2 Tools Bag: Functions, Gadgets, Gameplay Kits, Music, Sound Objects, Backgrounds, Gameplay Controls and Global Controls. Before patch 1.06, Gameplay Controls and Global Controls were the same page.

Tools
The Tools page brings together many of the Function tools from other Popit pages in one place. This functions are focused on changing materials' settings, specifically talking: form, structure, and hazardous effects.

Popit Cursor
Move objects around, delete them, tweak them, glue them, do anything really.

Material Changer
With the Material Changer it is possible to change the material of a contiguous object to another selected material.

To use it select Material Changer, then choose and select the material to which you want to change other objects, and finally change as many materials by pressing on them. When you are done press to go back to material selection and  again to return to the Materials menu.

Capture Object
Save an object to your Goodies Bag. Now you can re-use it in any other level, or give it away in a Prize Bubble.

Corner Editor
The Corner Editor allows you to make precise adjustments to the shapes you have made. Select it from the Popit window, and tap over the object you wish to adjust. The Popit Cursor is now restricted to the borders of the object you have selected. Move your cursor along the edge of the object until you reach the point you wish to alter. Tap again and you are able to pull and push the dimensions of the edge you have selected. Tap once more to set the alteration.

You can change the shape of the object by introducing multiple vertices on the object. Simply select a side of your object and push/pull the corners until you have created a shape you desire. Using this method, almost anything can be created.

UV Tool
You may not be able to guess from the name, but this tool lets you move and rotate material textures.

Select it, hover it over an object, and press. then use the left stick to move its texture around, and the right stick to rotate its texture.

Electricity
A dangerous element that can be applied to certain materials. If touched, the sackboy will be electrocuted and will then explode!

Fire
A form of danger. Coming in contact with fire will singe your Sack person. Prolonged exposure or multiple contact to fire within a short period of time is fatal.

Horrible Gas
A lingering gas that kills your Sack person if touched. Can be re-coloured by pressing.

Plasma
Another form of danger that, if Sackboy touch, it will destroy him.

Unlethalize Tool
Used when you want to remove hazards from the selected material.

Sticker & Decoration Edit Tool
Edit Stickers & Decorations.

Sticker Cutter
Cut a material into the shape of its stickers.

Advanced Glue Tool
Choose exactly which objects you want to glue together, by selecting them one at a time.

Slice 'N Dice
Added in update 1.06, it lets you cut objects up into smaller pieces. It works similarly to the Corner Editor.

Paint
If you have the Move Pack, you can use this tool to paint your own Stickers.

Gadgets
Gadgets are maybe the most important and most used tools within the Tools Bag. Gadgets permit you to give mobility to objects, join things together, apply all the game mechanics, trigger explosives, Add advanced logic, and even animate life! Be ready to become the new Dr. Frankenstein.

 * String: A basic connector that lets you attach two objects with a piece of string.
 * Elastic: Like string, but you can tweak how stretchy it is.
 * Rod: A connector that acts like an unbending pole. You can make it stiffly hold 2 objects together, disallowing movement.
 * Spring: Precisely what it sounds like, springs will spring back into place when deformed. You can tweak it to be stiff and to change how powerful the spring is.
 * Winch: Basically a string that can be reeled in or out. You can tweak its speed, delay, maximum and minimum length, as well as other things.
