How to make a card drawing system 🃏

[GreenWhale123]

(unfortunately, this only works with season ticket things)

Hello everyone. I am making a card game in GKC and one of the main features is drawing cards. When I showed this to some friends, they were confused on how I did it. I thought I would make this guide to show everyone.
(This requires season ticket accessible Devices.)

Needed Devices

6/7 popup call to actions. (You can’t use more.)
1 Notification
2 buttons.
1 popup
Optional: damage boost, health granter, Item granter.

Step 1

Make the name of the first button: Draw a card. Go to the button and put in: "When button pressed: transmit on: ‘card draw’. Make the name of the second one “View hand.”

Step 2

Set the popup to a list. Make sure all of the Call to actions are not activated when the game starts. (Unless you want a starting hand) Also make sure they are all in the same group as the popup. Wire the second button to the popup and make the settings: when button pressed: open popup.

Step 3

Go to the notification and enter blocks. Add a new block: "When receiving on channel ‘card draw’ Make a new variable called random. Make variable a random integer from 1to 6/7 (whichever you chose.) Add more blocks that say, "If random = 1 sen signal on (example:) Zapper 1:1. (In my game, the 1st # represents the deck number and the second represents the card number) If you keep going, you can add other things like health granters or props!!

Step 4

Go to a popup and make it so: "When receiving on channel ‘zapper 1:1’ (as my example)
activate popup. Wire that popup so that when it is pressed, it will (in this case,) grant the player a zapper. Also, make it so that when a player selects that popup, it will deactivate after granting the item. Repeat as necessary.

Peak guide

Remember to add a final product GIF. It just helps people out who are to lazy to go recreate it in GKC themselves lol

[GreenWhale123]

Okay. I will do that.

[Suspnded_Arr0w_Shaft]

This guide should help you with the GIF part.

Alr time to rate

Pros

• Steps are [detail] (and the materials too for that matter)
• Explained steps clearly (which is good in case of another image purge)

Cons

• More pictures (a very wise guy once told me that pictures aren’t necessarily needed for every guide, but I beg to differ for this one)
• Maybe don’t [detail] the voting? Idk to me it just doesn’t feel right
• Wha happened to the introduction and the conclusion - it doesn’t feel right to me to just jump into the guide and the first thing you see is not “Hi everyone” its “unfortunately, this only works with”. Maybe add a intro saying (like a thesis^[1]) why you made this guide and what its significance would be. A conclusion as simple as “I hope this helped” to build a bridge between the guide itself and the posts after that (a smooth exit is what im saying) could also be a good way to make youre guide look better.

I’m sorry bro, my rating is

5.9/10

Pictures don’t really if it’s explained well, not every guide need pictures.
Also detailed voting gets the viewer’s perspective, not just “How hard was this guide?”
actually there was 2 polls wth

well well well

@Boss_1s

Wha happened to the introduction and the conclusion - it doesn’t feel right to me to just jump into the guide and the first thing you see is not “Hi everyone”

Lacking an intro, we dive right into the quick disclaimer:

@GreenWhale123

(unfortunately, this only works with season ticket things)

Which is good to note before starting. Kudos!

Going into this, I see you used dropdowns, which is great for a relatively new user learning the ropes. Looking in from the outside, you could say it’s quite organized. Good on ya!

Including the materials is fundamental to almost every guide, so it’s obvious it’s included.

I read every step, and I have to say, as a visual learner, I’m quite impressed! Even with the noticeable lack of images, you got it by very clearly, which is something guidemakers can struggle with without the support of images. Very nice! It’s organized and the grammar is good across the entire guide, as it should always be.

Now, as stated, it lacks an introduction. Plus, there’s no conclusion, so it really skids to a stop. I don’t think personally the voting has to be in a dropdown, but that’s just my taste. So I’ll mark the Pros & Cons so we can easily find a sustainable rating.

Pros

• Organized and pleasing to the eye.
• Disclaimer about ST materials
• Guide voting system included
• Good grammar used continuously across entire guide
• Pretty good explaining for the lack of images

Cons

• Lack of intro
• Lack of conclusion

Even though I counted those as cons, I respect the straight-forward, right into business vibw this guide gives off. It’s honestly pretty nice for such a short guide. As a reborn guide critic (and as an extremely critical person) I give this a solid:

7.8/10

(best rating to beat: 7.8/10)

Summary: It’s short and sweet, has the bare minimum of Guide Decency Baseline™, and jumps right in. It lacks significant personality and enjoyment, but it’s not required! It gets the job done!

Guide Decency Baseline™

• Material list
• Disclaimers (If Needed)
• Understandable steps
• Difficulty Voting

Can you elaborate on why this isn’t possible normally?

[Suspnded_Arr0w_Shaft]

I have to agree, this is possible without season ticket device.

edit: when I have some free time, I’ll make a system for this without call to actions, and you can put it into this guide if you want @GreenWhale123
