#"Local Player" to "Combatant Set Health"

I'm having troubles with the Local Player chip to Combatant Set Health chip. When I click the button to give me health it works, but not for other players sadly. When other players click the button, the CV2 will activate but nothing for the player until I change the Local player to "Get Player By Display Name" and it worked. I would love for the local player chip to work for the other player and not just me.

Run it through room authority

whole apex
#

ok

#

same thing

swift garden
#

No you have to use even definitions senders and receivers

whole apex
#

Ok. this is what I got right now. run it through room authority and using the event sender and receiver

#

is this what you mean or am i doing some thing wrong?

swift garden
#

Your doing it very wrong

whole apex
#

oh no

swift garden
#

You need an event definition

whole apex
#

oh on i have that

#

its gonna be at the very right of the photo called small health

swift garden
#

Make sure the event sender is set to room authority

whole apex
#

It's set

swift garden
#

Add a player port to the event definition

#

make your own health system

#

Combatant shit sucks ass

#

cv1 sucks ass

#

Making your own health system is incredibly easy and as long as you know what you are doing, its flawless

#

All you need is an int variable

swift garden
#

Or use the huds as a variable because their local and easy to work with

gray sandal
#

You can

#

but like, you shouldnt

swift garden
#

I do it and Ive Never had any problems in fact it’s worked better than using variables

whole apex
gray sandal
#

Configure it, add port, Player

whole apex
#

is that a chip or?

#

still alittle new to CV2

swift garden
#

Configure the event definition

whole apex
#

ok

#

ok so right now the Event Sender is set to room authority. the Definition is set to player

swift garden
#

Hook the player port on the event receiver to the combatant set health

whole apex
#

ok now i see the problem. testing it now

#

ok cool it works with the button. now i just need it to work with consumables.

swift garden
#

Alright

whole apex
#

do you know any way to get the player name with consumable?

swift garden
#

Save the local player into a variable when the consumable used event is fired

#

Cryptic do you think that would work?

gray sandal
whole apex
#

so how would that look/

#

?

molten sky
whole apex
#

yep

molten sky
# whole apex yep

then when the consumable is activated, plug get local player into to string, and that into whatever needs the player's name

whole apex
#

ok i did it. it gives it to the worng player

gray sandal
#

If you send an event containing the local player to the room authority, it basically tells the authority who sent the event

whole apex
#

I know but it still gives it to the wrong player at the end

gray sandal

#

@whole apex Consumables and Events are different. Consumables are always local, so thats why it WOULD work in that setting, if this is for events, you can change that, thus you should refer to what Cryptic said about sending a event containing local player to room authority

#

not without your guys help. now i need to find out this problem and ill be set

molten sky
#

o wait, if it worked it would just stay active

#

There must be an error

whole apex
#

that's what im confuse about. it worked but had an error

#

which is wierd

molten sky
#

@whole apex You check the logs? Not sure if u saw my reply bc i was replying to myself

whole apex
#

getting it right now

#

[Active Consumable] Error: port 'Consumable' is configured incorrectly.

molten sky
#

configure the consumable constant to the consumable u want to activate

whole apex
#

it is

molten sky
whole apex
#

yep

molten sky
whole apex

# whole apex

Well, u dont need the to string if you just want the Player, swap the "Get player by display name" with just local player. But other than that. It has to be a connection issue, like the constant isnt configured corrently

molten sky
whole apex
#

ok. so i change up some connection and now i don't get the error but now the consumable wont deactivate

molten sky
whole apex
#

that's what im thinking. i have the sfx audio connected to the Consumable Deactivate and it goe's off

molten sky
whole apex
#

checking all the connection one last time

#

ok so all connection was connected correctly. it works for my main account but not my other account. i decided to change the deactivate connection to a 30HZ connection so it will always be deactivate

#

it works

#

its more steps but it works

#

it's so weird. this system was working 3 days ago but stopped working

molten sky
whole apex
#

so the consumable acts like a health potion but without spawning in the health potion using ink. the photo is what it looked like and it worked for all players. now the local player chip only works for the first person who enters the room

asfasffafae.JPG
#

it would activate the consumable. detect if the consumable is active. get the current health of player and add the amount thay paid. set the health and deactivate it

molten sky
whole apex
#

never thought of that

#

lol

molten sky
#

ah yee, its cool

molten sky
molten sky
whole apex
#

yeah. i was following what you guys were saying

#

but shouldn't the local player chip get the local player that activate it/

molten sky
whole apex
#

I wonder what's happening with the local player chip then because it's not doing what it suppose to be doing

molten sky
whole apex
#

right

molten sky
# whole apex right

ohh, well im reading up on what the others said, and yeah, the defaults stuff is ass, i highly recommended a custom system, way easier since its actually local and stuff while the default chips for it are weird like that. Trust me, using the custom way, you would activate consumable, add int variable, and then deactivate consumable, easy as that. While with the default stuff, u do need that weird room authority stuff

#

literally the hardest part (which is an overstatement, thats how easy it is) is using the projectile hit event to subtract the custom health

whole apex
#

ok. if nothing works I guess ill be doing custom health system

molten sky
whole apex
#

well i need the ai to do damage

molten sky
# whole apex ok. if nothing works I guess ill be doing custom health system

ye, but nonetheless, after activating the consumable, send the event to room authority i geuss (havent used the defaults system, let alone tried it bc it just sounds ass in the first place) with a player port like so, then on event receiever, set a player variable to the player from the port, and then hook the output from the variable to the get health and set health, and then if player is local with acting player from the player variable, run deactivate consumable

you guys suck at explaining things

#

has the issue been solved yet I cant tell

whole apex
#

Yes but we are figuring out what went wrong from previous CV2 because it worked but stopped working

# whole apex

I haven’t read all the msgs under this so I’m not sure if you figured it out but this is a bug I’ve seen before and there’s nothing you can do it just won’t work for some reason

molten sky
soft cove
#

Maybe try deleting the consumable and remaking it

molten sky

#

Fr

#

So have u fixed the original issue of the post?

whole apex
#

yes and no

#

the combatant set health chips are bugged right now and only work when running on the room authority's circuits. "room authority" is a status automatically given to the first player to join a room and then it can be passed around to other players from there automatically by rec room.

the reason these circuits may work for some people sometimes and not at other times is likely because when it was working before they were the room authority at that time. when it isnt working now, its likely because you aren't room authority.

you can easily fix this by always making the combatant set health chip run on room authority using events. make an event definition, name it "addHealth", and add an integer parameter for "amount" and a player parameter called "player".

you can then use an event sender configured to send the addHealth event to room authority and set the amount parameter to 100 or however much you want to add and set the player parameter to the local player. then hook up an event receiver and put those inputs into the combatant set health chip

#

as others have suggested it is likely better to use a custom health system so you dont need to work around this bug and a bunch of other annoying stuff but if you want to use the cv1 health system then that is how

#

let me know if you have any other questions about it

#

that is how you answer a question properly, not "run it through room authority" lol. if you cant give a good explanation then dont try and answer, it will just confuse the person asking the question more

@vague whale Whenever you write anything, i just think of your deep voice reading it out xD

vague whale
#

lol

molten sky
#

not specifically ur video, but u know what i mean, just mentioning it bc ima fan

vague whale

yeah its good to have basic knowledge of cv2 before asking questions but when answering its best to assume that people dont so that you're as thorough as possible
