How to make a moths/flies moving around a lantern

oddly specific title…
hi I’m 4314 and this is a guide on how to make something that normally nobody likes. I’ll make a moth zapper next, but for now I hope u like bugs :smiling_face_with_horns:

okay this guide is somewhat simple and aimed more towards newer users, but also just serves as an extra detail for the more experienced to use

bugs

first make your bugs using colored text (periods)


half of the flies (and their wings) should have these settings


the other half (and their wings) should have these settings

trigger loop

next get two triggers and a lifecycle.
trigger settings:

  1. not visible
  2. cannot be triggered by player collision
  3. 2 second delay

lifecycle settings:

  1. listens for game start

connect the lifecycle to one of the triggers
(event happens)---------------------------(trigger)
now connect the first trigger to the second trigger
(triggered)-----------------------------(trigger)
now connect the second trigger to the first trigger
(triggered)-----------------------------(trigger)
you have made a trigger loop!
trigger 1 should transmit on channel ON
and trigger 2 should transmit on channel OFF

nice guide
here take this like
:heart:
try to refrain from using long paragraph for device settings
for example,

I would write that like
Get 2 triggers and a lifecycle
Trigger settings:

  1. Not Visible
  2. Cannot be triggered by player collision
  3. 2 seconds delay

Life cycle settings:

  1. Listen for game start

that makes it cleaner

no

Can you try to make a GIF so we can see it? That’d be cool, but I understand if you can’t

Sounds good, thanks for trying

Do note you can upload gifs to the forums, using websites is unreliable as they do not always work. Use this guide for how to make a gif.

Just so you know, this should be in Art instead of Community Made Guides. And it should be tagged with art-guide maybe. And the GIF doesn’t show up. Other than that, the design is pretty good.

okay I can move this, and I think the gif is fixed
