Eating food help

[Red_Rose]

Is it possible to make it where you can pick up food and eat it?

How do you make it so you can consume food to gain more health?

You add a food prop. For example, ceramic plate with broccoli. You then go into the settings of the prop and click on hide prop when receiving on “…”. Add a random channel. Then, create a vending machine, and click “no” by “is body visible in game”. [Consumable food 2] You then add a Health Granter, and change the settings however you want, but make sure you make the channel the same as the other 2. You then put the vending machine on top of the food, and voilà! It works.

Yes. Connect a lifecycle set to game start to a checker. Set the checker so it checks for the item that you want to use as food. Connect the checker to a wire repeater (check fails → ) then the wire repeater to the checker ( → Run check.) Also connect the wire repeater to a game overlay device (_ → hide overlay.) Connect the checker to a game overlay device (check passes → show overlay.) Also connect the checker to another wire repeater. Set the overlay device so it doesn’t show when the game starts. Also, set it to a button and make its text something like “eat.” Connect the overlay button to the checker (button pressed → run check) and to a health granter (assuming you want health to be granted when you eat the food.) Connect the overlay button to an item granter (button pressed → grant item) set to the food item. Make it grant -1 of that item.

I hope my block of text is the solution lol, otherwise it would be for nothing

[JamesPotter]

Good to hear! Make sure you mark it as a solution ;]

[JamesPotter]

you can also just wire the overlay to wherever you get the food, and make it show on wire pulse, then make it hide when clicked using a wire repeater or channels, but that only works if you can get the food from only 1 place. if you can get it from multiple places, that wont work.

Yay you’ve finally joined the forums! Also you can pass the character limit but putting characters in these: < >
