How to create a spooky machine from barriers

the above image shows the things you will need!
( 4 grey circle barriers set to 1.00 alpha, 2 green circle barriers set to 1.00 alpha with no border, 1 green square barrier set to 1.00 alpha with no border, a green circle barrier that has no border and has .50 transparency, a sentry of your choice, a small barrier with no border set to 1.00 alpha that matches the color of your sentry, and a text device with 2 underscores 2 spaces apart.

building
first arrange 2 of your grey circle barriers like this:


then, do the same thing with the other two grey circles:

next arrange your solid green circle barriers and your green square barrier to make a oval like this:

now put your grey barriers and your green barriers together. it helps to try to match the grey circles to the green circles:

now to make the sentry all you have to do is put the sentry in the machine, put the barrier over the sentry’s eyes, and use the text to make it close its eyes:

and for the final step, ut the last barrier over the sentry. Done!

if this didn’t work yo may need to rearrange the layers. the layers button is in the top left and looks like 3 squares stacked on top of each other.

I was kind of confused on what this was for. Maybe add functionality of it with devices or variations for other themes, so we can come here for more! (also maybe hide your name in gimkit)

Nice guide! Maybe explain the use of this. Also, I don’t know if I said this, but welcome to the community! Be sure to check out the guidelines/TOC/FAQ!(Oh, you already did!) I hope you like it here. :smiley:

This is a very nice barrier art guide! This will definitely help those making a sci-fi horror game or smth like that.

feel free to change and improve and modify this to use in your maps-no need to credit me.

What if the player could go inside and look like a lab specimen? I might try to do that.

if you want me to make this functional I will make variations extra things that add to it, and a boss fight if you want

Make the transparent green barrier on no collision so a sentry can fire a gadget thru it. Make the sentry the Frankenstein gim. (I forgot the name)

working on my next guide right now, this topic is closed other than the poll

sorry i’ve been really busy with homework but I will work on making this functional

hi, its me again! i wanted to create part two of this art/guide using your feedback to make it great so I will be making the machine change the amount of liquid it has in it, make it so a player can draw the machine, make it so a player can enter the machine, and a couple of things to add to machine like tubes and a heart monitor.


you can use the metal cup prop to make tubes like in the picture above.

how to make a heart monitor:
you will need one black barrier with 1.00 alpha and border enabled, and 4 small green metal poles
image
now arrange the poles like this on the black barrier


and you are done!!!

how to let a player hide inside the machine:
this is all you will need a button that says hide and a teleporter both machines should not be visible in game


next place the button by the machine and the teleporter on the sentry like this

put walls around the machine using the floor terrain of your map so the player can’t get out. for this to work all barriers and props and devices used in the machine will need to be in the above layer. put a wire between the button and the teleporter (when button pressed teleport player here ). to make a way for the player to get out copy the button and the teleporter but change the buttons message to leave, place the second button by the teleporter inside the machine and the second teleporter outside the machine. do the same connection with the wire.

Does part two… not fit in part one? Unless you’re approaching the character limit there isn’t really a reason to have two topics.
