Step 5

Place a damager and add, damage when receiving on channel: "TAGGED’.

Alright I’m done, hope this helps you @CommanderGOAT.

You can also add many effects such as slowness and poison, just make sure these devices or systems are triggered when received on channel “TAGGED”.

Tell me if anything is wrong or doesn’t work.

Tap dancing seals will win >:D

When I use the slash, it only slashes once (meaning I can’t use it after using it once), and it slashes both the hunter and the survivor.

28

If the slash overlay disappears after used make a cooldown that activates it again after a certain amount of time.

29

No no no that’s not what I meant. Yes, the cooldown system does work. The overlay disappears and reappears normally. My problem is that even if the overlay reappears and I click to to slash, the overlay does not slash the survivor.

Your tag zone isn’t set up to do anything when the player is tagged.

(There is no channel connected)

@Immortal_Cap this doesn’t really help so maybe not do this in the future

32

There is a channel connected.

See?
(I literally took the image 2 seconds ago ._.)

33

Can I see the menu’s of all the related devices then (tag device, overlay, maybe the cooldown trigger if it doesn’t work)

As your previous image is outdated?(was talking about the first image)

34

Why do you have two different tag zones?

35

There’s only one. I deleted the other one.

36

Well the current one isn’t set up to activate or deactivate now

37

What about the trigger?

oh no
40

Um, I haven’t used wires (mb) in 2 years but Im pretty sure you have to press the options in the game overlay & trigger too because its like a checklist

41

Did you accidently change the delay or a freind made a lag machine with it?
One of my freinds looped the trigger with itself and the same thing happened.

42
jeez you guys I get you’re trying to help but slow down ;-;

JustAToaster: All of the options for every wire is filled out. The wire indicates so because the lil’ animation for it is green
Jhan: I changed the delay to 2. Does that affect anything? (PS I’m working on it by myself. None of my friends have ever accessed it)

Edit: Well, any advice on what I should do?

Are you free Monday to check? I might be free at 7:00 PM EST.

Hmm…I could try to sneak a code onto code-sharing at 4 PM EST. If not, then I’ll try getting a code on there at 5 PM EST. Is that possible?

Something kewl I noticed was that along with my (non-functioning) slash mechanic and my WIP sprinting system is that my total map memory as of now is 4%. Am I cooked when I make the characters?
