A Guide to the FLAG! - Difficulty 1/10 or 🟦

[Jobozo1875]

Other guides

I haven’t really seen any other guides about general flags and how to use them. I’ve mostly only seen capture-the-flag guides. Sorry if i’m wrong though :)

Hello!

This guide will teach you everything there is to know about Gimkit’s FLAGS!

---

You can start by getting a flag out. Select add, then devices, and flag
➜

➜

---

Let’s go through all of the options!

---

Go ahead and click on the flag then click all options

➜

---

1. Flag Colour
This changes the colour of the flag!

➜

2. Protecting Team
This is the team the flag belongs to. This team will not be able to go into the safe zone!

3. Safe Zone
This is the ring around the flag. Yes turns it on and No turns it off.

➜

---

➜

If the safe zone is on, you will see a change size button in the bottom left of your screen.

If clicked, now you can change the size of the safe zone!

4. Automatic return to base
This is how many seconds it will take until the flag is returned to the base after dropped.

➜

5. Pickup Alert
This alerts the protecting team with a notification

6-14. Channels
It will broadcast a message on a specific channel whenever the event is triggered

(15). Wires!

- Wires Out

For people who want a mini-guide on the flag capture zone

1. Flag Colour
The flag that the zone listens for. Example: If I have a red flag with a red zone, the flag would get captured. If I had an orange flag with a red zone, the flag would not get captured.

2. Active On Game Start
This just says if zone is active (available for captures) when the game starts. If yes, you can capture your flag here. If no, you cannot.

3. Visible In Game
Is this zone visible in the game?

4. Background Colour
What colour would the zone be if it was visible in game?

- This is a blue background colour

5-7. Channels
It will broadcast a message on a specific channel whenever the event is triggered

Note: The scope of turning this on and off is always GLOBAL

I put this in devices as its basically a guide to a device and not a guide to a system. so this goes into devices!

[Jobozo1875]

That’s true but some things like this are also in Community Made Guides

most of those are old guides, before guides on devices had to be in devices. if a guide was made before then, it doesnt have to be put in devices.

Great guide!

Excuse me, I am from America and that’s a typo.

@Fleet

I put this in devices as its basically a guide to a device and not a guide to a system. so this goes into devices!

Devices is for general concepts, Community Made Guides is is you are specifically guiding a user through building something.

I almost thought that it was talking about flagging posts…

Flagging Posts

Community Made Guides | forum-beginners, forum-tips
This guide about flagging will be sure to help YOU with all your flagging needs!
All images must be dragged into a new tab or selected until you reach their source hosting URL to view the full image.

1. Become @trust_level_1 - @trust_level_0 users cannot use flagging, as they do not have enough experience to exceed the trust threshold.
2. Navigate to a negatively outstanding post - Only flag posts that are off-topic, inappropriate, etc. Flagged posts that are not will not be removed by staff. Constructive criticism, mild jokes, and bumps are not to usually be counted as flaggable.
3. Find the button with the three dots at the bottom-right corner of the post ^[1]; Interact with it. Then, select the flag button.
4. Fill out the information ^[2]. If it is one of the three “fast options ^[3],” Select the single-select dot ^[4]. The flag post button should light up ^[5]. If it is something else ^[6], then click the fourth option. You will then have to fill out the information in the given text box that exceeds 10 characters and inceeds 500 characters ^[7].
5. Submit your flagged post. It should say, “.” Afterward, if your flag was just (or perceived that way), you might receive a PM from a Moderator (AKA Mod) ^[8] notifying you that they have taken the flagged post down or have taken action ^{[9] [10]}. The cookie-cutter responses for this are, “Thanks for letting us know. We agree that there is an issue and we’re looking into it,” and “Thanks for letting us know. We’re looking into it.”
6. The way that community-hiding flags are a type of “property” that we will be calling credits. A post requires 5 credits to be hidden by the community. We will be abbreviating “Trust Level” into “tl.” Tl1 users get 1 credit per flag, tl2 users get 2 credits, tl3 users get 3 credits (Which is enough to hide tl0 posts), and tl4 users get 5 credits, which automatically hides any post. Remember, using alt accounts to automatically hide posts is forbidden.

If your post was flagged and hidden, you will get a notification from the system stating that it has hidden the post and that you will be able to edit it again, hence unhiding the post, but if it is hidden a second time, it will be permanently hidden until staff deems it worthy to be removed or not ^[11]. If your post is removed, you will get a notification that it was ^[12], and your post written in raw code ^[13]. Moderators can still remove your post without it being flagged by the community, though it will say it was flagged due to a Discourse glitch ^[14]. Notifications will be sent to you as a PM, which makes the normal number of messages into a green letter icon ^[15], and is sent via the miscellaneous notifications category ^[16].
