How do I do this entity mechanic?

[yaypie]

I made an entity that will damage you and slow you for 2.2 seconds if you sprinted 5 seconds prior
But the problem is…
How do I make it so after clicking sprint, it makes a 5 second time frame for the entity to damage if it appears?
Basically how to make it NOT damage you after 5 seconds after pressing sprint

Ok so…

I think you should add a counter timer, which will count up to 5 seconds, but will reset when the “xsprint” stop sprint button is clicked, however, if the counter reaches 5 then do the entity mechanic

If you want me to elaborate I can
BUT I cannot tell you how to configure the devices

[yaypie]

My game doesn’t have a “stop sprint” button, you have to manually click “walk” to stop sprinting
But uh…
Please elaborate since I’m kinda duhmbheaded most times

[yaypie]

Wait wait wait I also need to add that the entity only starts appearing in the MIDDLE of the game, so that idea most likely wont work

Shouldnt the walk button technically work as a stop sprint button?

[yaypie]

well you need to get out of crawling state by clicking walk

So create a counter timer (Using this guide)

How to create a timer, the Kormorantian way!

Hey, @Kormorant here! I decided to make this guide because I did not see any guides on this way of making a timer! What you will need First, get a button or a lifecycle, depending on when you want the timer to start. (lifecycle for start of game, button for when you do it yourself). Next, get a counter and a trigger. Set them both to not be visible in game, and set the trigger to have a delay of 1.0. For each of the trigger’s channels on the featured page, set them to “triggered”. [image] …

Then umm use make the counter timer goal 5 seconds, and spawn the entity when the counter reaches the limit (IDK how to reset the timer)

Use the walk “Game - Overlay” and wire to the counter and when click reset counter

Yeah I THINK that’s it

Well to make it start in the middle of the game, you could add some sort of trigger mechanic to start running said system

[yaypie]

I think I’m just gonna make a new overlay for the middle of the game.
Thank you though! :>

[yaypie]

Thank you so much!!!
