How to activate a button only for host

[Nitram12233]

I know, I have already read through many posts, but all of them only have lifecycle(game start)->activate button. I want the button to activate on a channel for only the host, not right when the game starts. Is this possible?

if you have it on Free For All, you could use a relay set to all players on specific team: team 1

sadly, I have 2 teams.

use a player-scoped property

How to make a button host-only (0/10 or )

This can be useful for games that are host versus players, or any scenario where the host has special privileges (like, for example, a force game start button). Materials Needed Step 1 Step 2 And there you have it! I used a button, but you can use any device you want, as long as it has scope options. This works because the game start lifecycle only transmits on the host’s channel. If you want the game start lifecycle to transmit on something for everyone, you can use a relay, but that’s a tu…

Nitram12233 specifically said that they read guides and all of them have lifecycles. This one is not exempt from that, which is why this post was created. So, they have probably already read this guideline, and it was not helpful to them. So, you posting this one may not be helpful to them.

How To Make a Host Only Button

Idk if this is solved yet because there’s no solution yet. But you can make the host the only one on team x (any) and then make it so that the button is only able to be pressed if they are in x team

Look at NotYoyo’s post.

but they have the same problem, it doesn’t work on a channel

Maybe the host could have a different spawn pad and if you spawn there it then activates a counter after teleporting you to the rest of the map?
Counter reaches 0 (if decreasing) → activate button (make sure player scope)

Here is a little more background, I have different gadget options, if and only if there is a tie, then I want the host to be able to choose the gadget. So the countdown option doesn’t work.

[ImAgimkitFan]

Ohhh.. so you want a way for the host to be able to manually select a gadget if votes for a gadget are tied?

[Nitram12233]

Yes, exactly. (20 character limit)

k then, you could do a lifecycle that triggers a trigger loop, since triggers know inherently who triggers itself, and then at a certain point, break out of that trigger loop by using a property that acts like a flag to signal ending the loop, then spawn the button.

not tested, pure theory because of the fact that triggers and anything connected to them can inheirit the triggerer.

maybe this could work, could you give more precise info, and maybe pictures?

Put a spawn pad and set its “Spawn pad scope” to host only.
Build walls around it so its a private room
Put your button device inside the room
In the Button’s settings, set “Button scope” to player, or visible to all players, if you want it there, but hidden or inactive
set “Button active” to disabled by default (or uncheck “active on game start”
Place a trigger or relay device in the host-only room
wire the spawn pad (when player spawns) to the trigger/relay
wire the trigger/relay to the button (when received.)to activate it
Wire the button, (when button Pressed) to the action you want (another trigger, a game setting, a teleporter)
