This is a guide about how to make a safe zone for battle royale-type games. I checked, and this is not a duplicate guide.
What it does
The safe zone will be an area where players spawn and they cannot fire gadgets. The zone will have a timer, and if you stay in the zone for too long, you will take damage. The timer will be different for each player. This uses about 6% memory.
How to make it:
Step 1 - The Properties
Add a property with these settings:
Name: safeZoneTimer
Type: Number
Default Value: 20
Scope: Player
When value changes, transmit on: updateTimer
Broadcast on start: Yes
Also add a property called inZone, and make it a True/False, player scope, and default True.
Step 2 - Counting Down
Wire 2 wire repeaters together. Give one of them a one second delay. Connect the one with no delay to a relay set to “All Players”. Wire this to a text device with a player scope. Make this text say “Safe Zone Timer: 20” (or what time you want it to have). Add an “on wire pulse” block (Ahh! Blocks!). Put in the following code:
Step 3 - Updating the Text
Add a block for “When receiving on channel: updateTimer” (this should be broadcast by the property in step one), and add the code below:
Step 4 - Resetting the Timer
Add a zone device where you want your safe zone to be. Make it so gadgets cannot be fired in the zone. When a player leaves the zone, broadcast “resetSafeTimer”, and when a player enters the zone, broadcast “enterZone”. Make a block in the text device for the “resetSafeTimer” channel. Add this code:
Make a block for the “enterZone” channel. Add this code:
Step 5 - Adding Damage
Add a damager. Make a block: when receiving on channel “Damage”:
set the knockout message on the damager to something like {name} stayed in the safe zone for too long. Add a lifecycle. When a player is knocked out, broadcast on resetSafeTimer. This will reset the timer for you when you are knocked out.
This is how to make a safe timer for your battle royale game! If you have feedback for this, let me know! Thanks for reading this!
