How to create a sonic-like Drowning system

[Fleet]

HI! in this guide I’m going to show you how to recreate a main mechanic in Sonic water levels, Drowning! (sadly, no. you cannot make kids hear the dreaded drowning theme in Gimkit)

Materials!

1 zone
1 repeater (Im sure there might be a way to replace it with a trigger loop, I just don’t know at this moment)
1 counter
1 trigger (per air bubble!)
1 damager

Guide!

First, for decoration, place water tiles that don’t have collision! this is so that players can visually see where the zone will be and know when they should be prepared that they might drown.
then place a zone set it up like this!

(this guide is mainly for platformer, however I’m recreating it in top down, as I’m unable to use platformer.)
then place a repeater set up like this

then you will want to place a counter, set it’s starting number to be 50. and to set the rest up like this

(make sure the reset counter channel is actually “Restart time”)

then place a trigger set it up like this


then place a damager set it up like this

then wire the zone to the counter
Player leaves zone - Reset counter
and then your all set!

hopfully that helps! make sure the counter’s scope is player!

why do people get mad when some people make references to violence, but someone makes a drowning guide and no one cares?
Also is it possible to make it to where when you drown your eyes go wide(like a barrier over the gim) but it appears wherever the player is?

bump
since platformer sonic games are cool!

[Fleet]

I’m not sure, you would have to do that at every possible position you could drown at.

[Trasch]

I know
That’s what I meant

[Fleet]

Bump! (same reason as my last bump lol)

[Fleet]

Bump!
and a poll as well
I just want to see if I should make a sonic the hedgehog tag based on other regulars decision (I’m still a bit new to this)

Should there be a Sonic the Hedgehog tag?

• Yes
• No
