How do I make knockout managers only apply to one sentry?

Help
1

ok so um. i want my sentries to have a chance of dropping an item. i realized you could do this by setting up knock out managers which worked until i realized it would make every single sentry have the chance. i tried setting the sentry’s to active the knock out manager on knockout but that just made it so the knock out manager didn’t work at all (tried with 100% drop rate) .pls help

you can have the sentry drop item in settings of that practitioner one
if you want a target then add a counter and have it increment when knocked out then have a target

Welcome to the forums @OrangeBike! I think you need to go into channels for that

sentry knocked out → grant item

don’t forget to read the FAQ and welcome

All it is is just a random chance? Well, if you need a randomizer (Sorry if it’s kind of complicated), you might want the == The Ultimate Randomizer Guide == (Difficulty: :green_square:).
Then, the random choice is a channel that grants the item, so
Sentry Knocked Out → Trigger

sentry knock out, trigger rng trigger, then if rng trigger equal yes, then give item

hey could you explain this in more detail I don’t rlly understand some of the gimkit stuff

I tried that on the knock out manager but it applied to every single sentry

10

no just that single sentry. there is a wire option.

11

It didn’t work when I tried it.

12

show me the wire you did.

13

ok I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong can you show me the set up you have for yours to work

i cant take pictures right now, unfortunately.
very detailed steps though:

  1. get a sentry and an item granter.
  2. configure the settings for both devices the way you want it.
  3. press z or go to the edit tab and click wires.
  4. click on the sentry 1st and then click on the item granter 2nd.
  5. set the wire to [sentry knocked out → grant item]
  6. you’re done
15

yes but that just makes it so there’s an 100% chance for the item to drop, it want it to have it be random wether the sentry drops it or not

16

then make a randomizer in a trigger.
for the wire make it this instead: sentry knocked out → trigger trigger.
then have the item granter grant the item when receiving on channel “drop”.
go to the blocks tab for the trigger and create a new block.
make a variable called “drop chance”.
set the variable drop chance to random integer 1 to x*. *x = whatever you want the drop chance. [1]
Now get an if block attached to an equal block. The equal block inputs are if variable drop chance = 1. Put a broadcast message on channel in the if block. The channel you will broadcast on is channel “drop”.
all done!

  1. Some basic math: if it’s 1 to 10 then there is a 10% chance to drop. if it’s 1 to 25 then it’s a 4% chance. ↩︎

17

could you send a pic of the blocks

18

I cant currently but here:
set variable drop chance to random integer 1 to 10
if variable drop chance = 1
do broadcast message on channel “drop”

19

I can wait until you can send pictures cus umm I really don’t understand what that means at all
