Base Capture Help

Ok, I’m having trouble with my base Capture system help.

What I made (simplified)

I had 2 zones and 2 barriers, one for each team. The barrier could only be activated by one certain team. [1] Then, when the player is in the zone, a countdown starts. You have to be in the zone for 7 sec to claim it. If you leave, the timer resets. Once it reaches 0 [2] it deactivates the zone and barrier and activates the other zone and barrier, now it belongs to the other team. Here’s a visual to try to help.

Zone belongs to Team 1
Barrier color of Team 1: Active and set to blue.
Team 2 walks into zone
Countdown to 0 reached
Team 1 zone deactivates -> Team 2 zone activates
New barrier activates and deactivates the old one: New Barrier 
color red; Team 2 owns
Team 2 has taken control of the base.

Ok, not really a visual, but it should work like this. The problem is, I can’t get Team 1 to take back the base, and if 2 people are inside when the countdown is happening, it bugs out and the counter goes into the negatives.

Recap: How the system should work

If the zone belongs to Team 1, the zone shouldn’t do anything if a Team 1 member goes into it, but should do something if a Team 2 member steps is.

They should stay in the zone for 7 seconds for takeover of the base. If they leave before the countdown is over, the timer resets.

When the countdown is finished, the zone should switch to Team 2 and work the same as only activating if stepped on by another team.

Ok, I think that’s it. If this system is impossible [3] just tell me and I’ll have to work on a different system.

Yes, I looked at other help topics, they didn’t help.


  1. I wired the zone to a trigger and had the trigger only be activated by a certain team ↩︎

  2. I start at 7 and decrement every 1 sec ↩︎

  3. Do NOT give me the Blackhole post Nothing Is Impossible ↩︎

Um, linking one guide, then I’ll help you with the rest.

For @Toothless

That’s not true! You’re super helpful! It’s just the inactivity of many users, it’s not you.

I don’t think this guide is related to the questions though.

Only for one part of the guide is it useful.

Sorry for the late reply, but I checked out the guide. It’s basically having the barrier deactivated if you are in the right team. I need the barrier to be open to both teams, or else how will the other team steal the base?

Oh… I thought you wanted it to be open to only one team…

Hold on, I’m going to test something, and I’ll get back to you in this post.

Ok, apparently this disappeared, but I still need help with this.
