How To Make It So Players Lose Health Every 3 Seconds Inside A TV

[carmine rampart]

shhhhhhh

I also want a system to randomize trigger volumes(10) [different from the one that loses health] and if someone enters the wrong one (9) that die, if they enter thee right one (1) they live

[glacial river]

What do you mean by “Inside a TV”

[bleak sky]

Event receiver "Update 30Hz" > delay (3s, connect after delay to cancel input and use cancel output for next step) > for each (connect players from trigger volume) > if player is local and valid (connect player from for each output) > damage that player (i hope you have hp system)

[carmine rampart]

just a reg game chip

not a system

[carmine rampart]

when players are inside a trigger volume it happens

[glacial river]

Oohm… you probably wanna swap to CV2 health

[carmine rampart]

and how would i do that

😭

[glacial river]

Do you want weapons in your game?

If you don’t, it’s a lot easier than if you do

[carmine rampart]

yes i do

its also not my map

im a contrib

but i am the main circuiteer

[glacial river]

Okay, if you want weapons then you want to use a PDB for the system

How experienced are you with CV2

[carmine rampart]

5.7/10

probably

[glacial river]

Do you understand event receivers and variables?

[carmine rampart]

yes

[glacial river]

Do you know how to send events to specific players?

[carmine rampart]

yes

[glacial river]

Ok then it’ll probably be easy to understand

Place a Player Definition Board

“Edit” it and then you’ll be in it’s circuit board

Place an event receiver and there are new events for players like “projectile hit player”

And you can run a system for whenever a player gets shot

[carmine rampart]

what system....

[glacial river]

HP system

Like, you can have an int variable for their health, and whenever they get shot lower it, and when it goes to 0 you can respawn them and reset their hp, stuff like that

[carmine rampart]

hella special

rn

[glacial river]

You know how int Variables are local to each player?

Unless configured otherwise

[carmine rampart]

yh

[glacial river]

You can set that to be 100 when they join, (i. e. they have 100 HP when they join)

So if they are damaged, they’ll lose some of their int Variable value (losing HP)

Similar to how you’d use int variable for money, xp, etc, you’d use it for HP

[carmine rampart]

so its just this

and then the respawn

bit

[glacial river]

A video I’ve never personally watched: https://discord.com/channels/193073071802941451/1272206990357037086

But it has been referenced a lot for beginners to learn CV2 PVP as opposed to CV1 game rules PVP, however if you already have “5.7/10” experience with circuits, you should be able to grasp the concept easily, but the video is always there if you need it

[glacial river]

Make sure you use an If Player is Local circuit for the Event Receiver: Player Joined because otherwise whenever any player joins, every player will get their HP reset

[carmine rampart]

@glacial river Ok so i did the video seems i did it right

how would involve shield

into the system

and what would i do with the gamechip

[carmine rampart]

or is shield already involved

[glacial river]

Gamechip can just be deleted

That’s CV1

[carmine rampart]

would shield still work?

i dont really know a lot of cv1

[glacial river]

Is it a custom shield?

Or a rec room one

[carmine rampart]

regular shield pot

[glacial river]

Yeah it’d still work as long as it’s preventing the projectile from hitting the player

[carmine rampart]

how would i do this

would i get the local player should

[glacial river]

Shoot the shield, does the bullet go through the shield or does the shield stop it

[carmine rampart]

the shield doesnt stop the damage

i think i need the game chip

shield wont work otherwise

[glacial river]

The game chip overrules everything else

It’s either one or the other

Are you running the damage for the attacker or the defender

[carmine rampart]

what do you mean

when someone shoots me

i take damage

doesnt factor in shield

[glacial river]

Does the projectile go through the shield

[carmine rampart]

you do realize im talking about actual shield right? not the prop

[glacial river]

Shield drink?

[carmine rampart]

yes

[glacial river]

Oh, I thought you were talking about the held shield because I’ve never heard anyone refer to it as just shield before

[carmine rampart]

everyone i know calls it just shield

so...

do you know how to do it

[glacial river]

AFAIK, CV1 shield potions don’t work with CV2 PVP systems as they don’t have object boards like other old CV1 PVP items have gotten.

There are alternatives, such as creating your own shield potion and running it that way, or implement a different system instead of “drinking” something.

[carmine rampart]

so no cv2 pvp system?

[glacial river]

You can switch to CV1 Game Rules PVP if you want, but it’d be a lot harder to add separate ways to add damage outside of the conventional projectile that it comes with

, if you want the “TV damage” system, then using CV2 would be the better option, overall CV2 is the better option

[carmine rampart]

@glacial river can’t I just use a “combatant receive damage”

[carmine rampart]

Bro stopped talking

[carmine rampart]

Still need this

[bleak sky]

nope, that thing is weird, inconvenient and doesn't work some of the time
just make your own hp system, it's easier to configure, it's more convenient and it allows you to even add some cool stuff when someone takes damage which is more complicated to do with RRO system
tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ_M_Limrbk

[carmine rampart]

1. he already linked that tutorial

2. cv2 health systems dont involve shield

[bleak sky]

1. make a secondary variable called "Shield"
2. basically make same thing you do with HP variable but with shield variable (so you have proper system for both hp and shield
3. connect shield variable to secondary bar using UI
4. add a check when you damage someone:
   if (shield > 0)
   then: shield - damage > if (shield < 0) > hp + shield > shield = 0 > continue with other HP system stuff you have after reducing hp
   else: just reduce HP

[carmine rampart]

you cant check people for shield

when theres no game chip

which the game chip overides the cv2

[carmine rampart]

,

[bleak sky]

if you make your own shield system then you can

[carmine rampart]

how would i detect regular shield potions or shield cv1 (that only works with the game chip)

[bleak sky]

you can add something like a custom potion or just do this:

1. attach a trigger volume onto the potion (around above it)
2. on trigger player entered > delay (i forgor potion delay just make it 0.1s less than that) > if (player is still touching the trigger volume) > give him shield

[carmine rampart]

or would i have to create a system only certain people can access and they can input the amount of shield they want

and it would set their variable

[bleak sky]

only sertain people can access:
give that someone a role and then check if someone has that role and then set that variable when they have it

about the whole "getting a value" i don't really know that much about that

but its something to do with promts

to set a shield variable to something just do this:
if player is local and valid (player is the one you're giving shield to) > shield = [some value you want]

[carmine rampart]

i know how to do it

i was just asking if it would work

[bleak sky]

why wouldn't it?

if you have your own systems it's only up to you if it'll work

thats the biggest benefit from making your own HP system

[carmine rampart]

@bleak sky so like i would have to spawn in my own guns

?

oh wait

[bleak sky]

idk how to do that but you can, i saw that a lot

[carmine rampart]

i could make the game chip auto heal instantly

so it doesnt interfere

so guns could still spawn

normally

[bleak sky]

if you have your own hp system you can make a death and respawn systems

player made systems usually don't touch RRO systems unless you spawning someone with a gun

so just ignore RROs stuff unless you need them to do something

[carmine rampart]

@bleak sky know how to do this?

i had a system but it was majorly un optimized

[bleak sky]

you want them to teleport or one of them to just turn good?

[carmine rampart]

i was going to originaly tp them but i though just them turning evil/good would be better

[bleak sky]

oke then

1. on each trigger volume just do this: event receiver "Update 30Hz" > delay (1s, connect after delay to cancel input and use cancel output for next step) > if (trigger is good) else > for each (players in that volume) > if player is valid and local > damage them
2. pick a random volume from that list (switch integer with random int connected to it)
3. set every bool to false
4. set the correct one to true ( random int (from 1 to your trigger amount > execution integer switch (add values to compare from 1 to amount of your triggers) > connect each variable to a different output of that switch and set all those variable to true) (example on screenshot below)

[bleak sky]

^

should work but test it and fix if there's problems

[carmine rampart]

@bleak sky i dont think youre understanding what TV im talking about

so theres a total of 11 TV

1 main one that damage players that are inside of it and theres 10 hallways and at the end of each theres a TV

only 1 lets them escape the room

and the other 9 kills them

your step 1 deals with the main TV (already knew how to do it though)

[bleak sky]

oh,

then it's much easier
you do the random thing from step four and if the trigger volume is bad then you deal 9999 damage to the player
On trigger player enter > if player is local and valid (connect player form player enter)> if (trigger volume is good) else > deal 999 damage to player

[sturdy fiber]

Don't do the first part like that.
Delay Cancels cause lag spikes whenever they're executed, instead, make a custom cooldown function.

[bleak sky]

it's the safest and easiest option

[sturdy fiber]

Safest? No.

Again, lag spikes.

[bleak sky]

which aren't that big

[sturdy fiber]

No they can get very large.

[bleak sky]

it depends on what you activate with those tbh

[sturdy fiber]

No it doesn't.

It depends on how many delays you're building up then canceling, because clearing a bunch of delays causes lag.

Especially when you're adding 30 a second.

[bleak sky]

oh

[sturdy fiber]

Just make a cooldown function or circuit board, they're simple to make.

The function only costs 2 chips too, plus the 5 needed to make the function definition.

[carmine rampart]

would a custom hz work?

[sturdy fiber]

I'm assuming it's an invention you got?

[carmine rampart]

ye

mine though

[sturdy fiber]

What chips does it use?

[carmine rampart]

30 hz, divide, greater than, if

and an event

to send the hz

[sturdy fiber]

That's not enough chips to make a cooldown, could you send an image of it?

[carmine rampart]

i dont even know whatchu was talking abt

😭

[sturdy fiber]

What

You said you have a custom hz, I'm asking you to send an image of it, because the way you described it doesn't make sense.

[carmine rampart]

the event probably isnt needed

[sturdy fiber]

None of that is needed

It's still using a delay cancel too

[carmine rampart]

wait

nvm

[sturdy fiber]

I'll send an image of both a cooldown circuit board, and a cooldown function. I'd suggest using the function.

Again, I'd suggest using the function. It only costs 5 chips to make, and every use of it only costs 2 chips. Compared to the circuit board's constant 5 chips, the function is better if you have multiple cooldowns.

[carmine rampart]

would the exec on this thing

be a 30hz?

or what would i do with this

also what would i put the CD as

[sturdy fiber]

Isn't this for contantly damaging players every 3 seconds they're in a trigger volume?

[carmine rampart]

yes

[sturdy fiber]

If so, then you know long the cooldown should be.

So just contantly check if they're in a trigger volume, and if they are, use the cooldown to damage them.

[carmine rampart]

alright thats done

@sturdy fiber so its damaging other people

when they're not inside of it

[sturdy fiber]

Ok?

So you set up the damage wrong then

[carmine rampart]

fixed it with a event

[carmine rampart]

no

new problem

your cooldown is activating twice

[sturdy fiber]

I don't know how you set up any of the circuits, so I am unable to help.

[sturdy fiber]

What is this

[carmine rampart]

stuff

[sturdy fiber]

What even is the goal here

Like, what

[carmine rampart]

5 damage per 3 seconds

when people in TV

[sturdy fiber]

How does the circuits you sent above help at all with that

those are terrible

[carmine rampart]

😭

it does it fine

its the cooldown

[sturdy fiber]

Are there multiple people in the room?

[carmine rampart]

yh my alt

[sturdy fiber]

So everone is telling everyone in the trigger volume to damage themselves?

Do you not see the issue with that?

[carmine rampart]

?

[sturdy fiber]

If everyone is telling everyone in the trigger volume to damage themselves, what do you think will happen if there are 2 people in the room and 1 person is in the trigger volume?

Everyone tells the person to take damage.

[carmine rampart]

oh

so how fix

[sturdy fiber]

Just check if the local player is in the trigger volume, if so, damage using the cooldown.

There's a List Contains chip, use that on the Trigger Volume's player list.

If so, then run the cooldown to damage the local player.

[carmine rampart]

do i get rid of anything i had

?

[sturdy fiber]

All of it yes.

[carmine rampart]

😱

[sturdy fiber]

Just make what I described.

[carmine rampart]

👍 completely fixed

[sturdy fiber]

Cool, do you want to send an image of the circuits just to make sure they'll work?

[carmine rampart]

also do you know why i have to put the variable inside the circuit board

if its not in the circuit board it doesn display my actual health

[sturdy fiber]

Yeah that'll work. Keep in mind you don't need the Get Local Player chip, the player port is auto made for you.

[sturdy fiber]

?

[carmine rampart]

in board

[sturdy fiber]

Why is the player health in a circuit board?

[carmine rampart]

cuz

[sturdy fiber]

This all depends on your health system.

Variables inside of circuit boards are seperate from any other variables you have, even if they're the same name and type.

[carmine rampart]

thats stupid

frfr

[sturdy fiber]

Nuh uh

That's just how circuit spaces work.

I'm actually in game right now, I could join and help further if you wanted

[carmine rampart]

i mean i guess

@ReconBlaze

[carmine rampart]

@bleak sky i really dont understant the randomization of the trigger volumes

[bleak sky]

1 you put a random int chip that gives you a random number each time u activate it
2. You pu an execution integer switch that uses that random number to randomly choose a volume
3 u connect each output of that switch to bool variables that make trigger volumes good

All bool variables have to be synced

To activate random trigger just activate the random int

Before that set all of those bools to false so u wont get 2 good triggers

[carmine rampart]

@bleak sky if you ever get on could you do it and send me a picture. I learn alright from pictures

[carmine rampart]

so like

i feel

this could be optimized

how

[bleak sky]

it looks optimized enough tbh

[glacial river]

You could do an event for trigger volumes, and set each of their tags to be the corresponding number so you only need one sender

[carmine rampart]

Wouldn’t I need multiple get first tags

[glacial river]

You’d only need one for the event
