How to make a longe range gadget?

Help
1

I need help making a system where the player presses a button and then a graph of that map pops up and they can choose a specific area on the map to damage the player there (if they are at the specified location).

You just need zones connected to damagers, so lifecycle I think deactivate zone, then button activate zone, zone activated activate damager. I dunno if you can activate/deactivate zones tho but you can use barriers.

You can do this by connecting an overlay to whatever you use to select an area, and you can get the positions of each player, if they are in the zone, trigger the respawn for them

You can activate/deactivate zones. But how do you make the map where the player can use the gadget? Plus, how do you make it that where you press dot on the map the event will happen?

Okay yeah then have some zones, have 4 buttons that say attack east side?west side?north? ect. and when button pressed wire it to activate a zone, then wire the zone to a damager so when zone activated damage player. and don’t forget to have a lifecycle that is when game start wired to zone to say deactivate.

Hmmm I only know of buttons placed down…

Have you seen in the main menu of some games that there are buttons on the players screen (Not the game overlay buttons).

You could use camera views about the size of a screen and use game overlays to navigate through them.

No, but what about the center of the map?

14

Or wait I mean camera points or whatever they’re called. The one that moves your screen.

15

you be in the center where you “detonate” I guess.

16

Could you also use triggers?

He wants it for the player to hold on their screen, so I said game overlays buttons.
