Help with some block code

43434 · May 7, 2025, 11:08am

i am a new user so could someone explain to me what the block code is and how to use it in gkc

To answer your question:

Interface
Its Interface is small, so you can zoom out/in using your browser’s zoom tool.
Blocks can be dragged onto the toolbox to be deleted.
Drag blocks under each other to connect them.
Types of Blocks
Blocks usually are self-explanatory, but some such as the Number block may need some explaining.
Blocks grant some actions not available in device menus.
Use
These are used to further enhance your game, and can add aspects to it, such as incrementing a property by 100 instead of 1.

How was this explanation?

@ShadowDragon44 you know this right could you give me a pic of it

I couldn’t possibly cover all aspects of block-coding, and I am still learning it myself, so check out some of the quoted guides above that explain what block code is and how to use it. Then visit the Resource Guide below for more info.

If you are trying to specifically build something in GKC, and aren’t sure how to do it, clarify what you want your system to be like and forumers will come and help you out.

In-game Chat System: A guide by Dayy (Difficulty:

In-game chat system: A guide.

In this guide, I will teach you how to make your very own chat system. A few disclaimers to start:

This will take up 10% of memory if you build it exactly as I have; if you use more or fewer options it will vary.

It can only use predetermined messages, and it will show messages to everybody.

Now for the guide.

Here is what seems like a mess of devices and wires, but I will explain it all.
Next to the text that says Starting Overlay: is a game overlay device with these settings:

Starting Overlay Settings472×674 30.3 KB

The only important thing is that it’s a button that transmits on a channel. I’ve used the channel name chat.

Back to the picture.

There are 5 popup devices next to the text that reads Section Headers:. The first one on the left is the first screen of your chat interface. You can design this however you want, but there are a few important things. You need a call to action that says next as the primary call to action. And this popup should open when receiving on whatever channel is broadcasted when your game overlay is pressed. The other 4 popups in that row are section headers, to make it easier to select your chat message. I’ve used Greetings, Callouts, Team Callouts, and Replies. Again, you can style them as you’d like, but you need two call to actions. The first must be next, and the second is to use this section. After you’ve made as many or as few sections as you’d like, connect the first to the second with a wire, the second to the third, etc. After you’re done that row should look as it does in that first image. And each of those wires should look like this:

Wire Image 11373×762 58.9 KB

Now comes the harder part. Decide what messages go in what section. Here’s what I used:

Greetings

Hi!

Welcome!

Callouts

Follow Me!

Come Here

Can somebody help me?

On my way!

I got to go

I’ll Help

Team Callouts

We’re winning

We’re losing

I’m at low health!

Incoming enemies!

Replies

Yes

No

Ok

Each of the chat options can be whatever you want, but the call to action page should look like this:

Call to action 1453×584 30.4 KB

I recommend naming the channel exactly what the message is or doing something like chat/message to separate channels.
IMPORTANT
The last option of each section should have the second call to action be a back-to-start button. Simply broadcast on the channel your overlay broadcasts on. It should look something like this:

Call to action last447×582 31.1 KB

Now for the wiring.

Simply place wires as shown in the first image. All of the wires should be the same and should look like this:

Wire Image 21343×330 65.9 KB

Now for the code blocks:

Here is an example code block

Code1384×996 112 KB

Each popup in the messages section needs one block that runs on the same channel the call to action broadcasts on. Then as the image shows, add an activity feed for everyone that combines the player’s name and their message.

Conclusion

And that should be it! Let me know if you have any issues or questions.

Also, tell me in the replies if I should change the difficulty. Have fun chatting!
