Guide Bag
The Guide Bag found in carnival was based on the Leaving a Breadcrumb Trail tutorial by Totality. Rather than rewrite the whole thing I will describe the process from the point it deviates from the aforementioned tutorial. Follow the tutorial up to the point where you have made the bag, but where it says "The next stage is to create our system for releasing breadcrumbs off every 10 seconds or so" do the following instead.
The idea is to have the bag "drop" a stone every time it is squeezed. To do this you need to set up a receptron that will cause the bag to create an object each time it is frobbed. To be able to do this you will need to have a custom receptron set up on Garrett - see this tutorial to find out how to do this.
With the custom receptron set up, you need to set up a source on the bag to stimulate the player, which in turn will stimulate the bag. To do so enter your bag's properties and select add->act/react->source and add the following source:
In Edit Shape:
This sets your bag up so that each time it is frobbed whilst in your inventory it will send out a stim of your choosing. In turn this stim will cause the receptron you set up on your avatar to stimulate the bag. You now need a put a receptron on the bag. Select add->act/react->receptrons and add the following.
And that's it! Your bag should now drop a stone every time you frob it in your inventory.
