Gadget Collision

Help

Is it possible to detect when a surface is hit by a gadget, besides prop damage? Is it possible to bring a prop back after it has been destroyed?

there wasnt a solution, so someone needs to come up with one.
you could put two props, one dameageable one not, and set the damageable one to, like 1 health.
you could wire it to something or transmit it on channel when destroyed.

AOE might be possible soon with gadgets… somehow…
if you could make AOE that would 100% hit then yes you could track a surface getting hit. anyways, that’s just a theory (“a GAME Theory”[1]).
also, the solution is with johangim

  1. rip matpat’s channel :confused: ↩︎

wait, just when the prop revives, it moves, that’s the only thing that might work, or just make the prop in the same location, so, first copy you prop, but make it invisible at game start, and depending on the prop still having damage or not, just add or don’t add the damage thing, but then, after that, wire the visible prop to a wire repeater or a trigger, best if it’s a wire repeater, and set the wire repeater to to at least 0.1 delay (depending in how long before you want the prop to “revive”) but the wire should be “prop destroyed -----> send signal” then the wire the repeater to the invisible prop, and when the signal is repeated or something, show the prop, and that’s it, well, for the second question

Oh, like a damage attack that can deal damage to players within a radius?

I already figured out, with a reminder from teapot, how to do an AOE ability, in fact I’m making a guide on it rn. Since we can’t detect where a projectile is being shot at, we can’t have splash damage for gadgets but maybe in the future… All the other factors for gadget splash damage are available though.
