Afk (Away from Keyboard) shield 🛡️

[1]

hi! its nice seeing you here! i’m new here, so critisism is allowed, though be kind!
i came here to help y’all, and to get help myself, so my first post will be a guide!


purpose :pencil:

  • to help not get affected by people in gadget games (excluding fragile games)

materials :spiral_notepad:

  • game overlay (x2)
  • repeater
  • health granter
  • speed modifier (x2)

guide!

  • step 1: create a game overlay, make it a button, and make the text “afk”
  • step 2: wire the game overlay to a repeater.
  • step 3: modify the repeater to this
  • step 4: wire the repeater to a speed modifier and make it 0.
  • step 5: wire the repeater to a health granter (grant health, not wire block)
    make the health grant health, then shield, and then set it to 100 (max)
  • step 6: lets go back quite a bit to our overlay! make it wired to a wire repeater and essentially, wire it so when button pressed, the overlay dissapears.
  • step 7: make the same wire repeater get wired to another overlay, this time:
  • step 8: wire the overlay to the repeater, stopping it
  • step 9: wire the overlay to a new speed modifier, making it grant normal speed again
  • step 10: wire the 2nd overlay to a second wire repeater, do the same thing with the first one.
  • step 11: wire the overlay to the 1st overlay, making it appear when pressed

aaand done!
hope u have a good day (or night, im righting so late rn x-x)

Nice guide. :slight_smile:
But couldn’t this be used just mid fight to regain all health/stop the fight?
You might need to think of a combat timer system.

For instance, in knockback, you can answer questions while in a fight to make yourself invincible, until you close it.

that’s where they are

ahh, i sure love when fresh forumers actually make a reasonable guide
especially their first post too!
and it isnt a dupe! (after a quick search on “shields”)

:clap:
anyways feedback so i dont get eaten by flag monsters:
personally, it’s easier to read the steps if they have a space in between them. so i think the bullet points are not necessary but instead js say
step 1: yada yada yada

step 2: ^^^ oh wow look we have a space
js my opinion :+1:

Bruh. This has been asked literally a few replies ago.
It’s there (I’m guessing) so that when the OP can put pictures in they don’t have to find them but instead just take out the thing (outline?)
Yup:
agony

Welcome to the forums! This is a good guide. Thanks for making it!

This is a pretty good guide!

where are the pictures th- just kidding

I’m liking this guide. Hopefully, you can get basic before the editing period ends, since I’m pretty sure that only lasts like 24 hours. If not, it’s at least good you put the image files in the guide. Good work around. Also, welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your time here :)

Alright format, explained steps, not-dupe, images, somewhat useful concept, so i agree on others on this being a very good guide for a new forumer
A few suggestions:
1.Please never use repeaters
2.for the invincibility part, you can make it so that players start with no shield and when clicking the button they get full shield every .1 second, making them actually invincible without making them insta regain full health
3.you can make it so that when the afk stops the shield is removed, just gain full shield and damage by the same amount(since shield can’t exceed the limit)
4.you can actually make an afk detection by making a clock system that resets whenever you attack/move/click overlay

Yes, so make the shield value really high, like reaaaaaally high

What’s wrong with it? You can sit in the device menu watching all the hundreds of triggers work their mechanical guts inside out while you can relax forever in the space between property and tag zone just because you are too high class(high memory) to be used by us bare mortals at all, it should be an honor from whatever angle

I have found a flaw (as with all invincibility systems, because there is no way to make TRUE invincibility): if the player has only 200 health, they can still be 1-shot with a legendary quantum portal, so make sure you don’t have those in your map :slight_smile:


I think you can remove this now.

Nice guide, the formatting is good, but consider adding some explanation and the end of each steps next time for people to better comprehend.

That doesn’t matter if the interval is short enough for the game to detect health generation while taking damage, which in this case the repeater has enough interval to bypass the fatal damage, a trigger loop could also work but requires additional steps to deactivate and reactivate.
