How to Block/Shield Attacks

This forum is so stale… before we got over 50 guides a week and now all we have are a ton of help topics, half of which are solved by linking to another guide/help topic.

Oh well. Today we are cooking something new.

Your result after this will be a button that makes you invulnerable to damage on a certain interval, that you can use as a sort of “shield” button.

Ingredients (tasty)

  • 1x Game Overlay
  • 3x Trigger
  • 1x Health Granter
  • 1x Damager

Note: Make your shield is set to 5000 in map options, and that it is impossible to take 5000 damage at once in your game. All players that have this ability must have 0 shield.

Warning: Follow step order entirely, including channel entry order. Parts of this guide rely on AUO, so different orders may cause things to break.

Step One: Game Overlay

Take the game overlay, turn it into a button, and set the text to “block attack” or something like that.
Broadcast on channel “block1” when pressed. Deactivate on channel “block1” and activate on channel “block3”. Active scope should be player.

Step Two: Triggers

These triggers will determine the length of the shield, and the cooldown.

Your first trigger should activate (NOT TRIGGER) on channel “block1” and have an active scope of player. Make sure it is not active on game start. It will also deactivate on channel “block2”

Now go set it to receive and transmit on channel “block1” with a trigger delay of 0.01 seconds.

Your second trigger controls how long your shield should last. It simply receives on channel “block1” and has a trigger delay of however long you want your shield to last before transmitting “block2”

It should activate on channel “block1” and deactivate on channel “block2” with an active scope of player.

(Try using a value of at least 0.5s for the trigger delay. Whatever works best for your game)

The third trigger will decide the cooldown of your ability.

All it needs to do is receive on “block2” and transmit on “block3” with a trigger delay of however long you want the cooldown to be after the ability is over.

Step Three: Health Granter

Easiest step. Place a health Granter that only grants shield. It should grant health on channel “block1” and grant the max amount (200)

Step 4: Damager

I lied, this is the easiest step. Damager for 5000 damage, on channel “block2”

bye nothing else your done literally hah also this is untested so report any issue, I recreated it from memory xx

Um, if I just added photos , people might not read the text which is important
Because then they might put the channels in the wrong order breaking the mechanic
So I decided to go photoless for this one

We learned too much too fast. Now there’s nothing to make guides on :sob:

I don’t feel like spending 10 minutes typing another guide rating post so I’m just gonna say

  • The guide looks really good
  • Pictures speak 1000 words
  • If you aren’t gonna add pictures, add the no-pictures tag.

Wait actually? Let me go re-read this really quick.

No-pictures is for guides with broken pictures. I’m not going to put no-pictures here because then people won’t use this guide.

Also, in this case a picture is worth -1000 words, for reasons spoken above. In order to be able to complete this mechanic correctly, you need to be able to understand the text.
