How to Make a (Semi) working Ice Rink with (Semi) ice mechanics

Whats up Geezers.

Ignore that…
phighting-skateboard

Today (now that were in the chilly and possibly snowy season (its November I don’t care its cold enough for me), Me [1] are making a ice-rink.

DISCLAIMER: THIS GAME REQUIRES PLAYERS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY

Setup:
Now first, go to settings, (a.k.a, the cog/gear icon in the bottom right)

now click it it should bring up a menu, just click ‘Map Options’


After clicking Map Options, Click the tab saying ‘Health & Shield’

Then click the first option saying ‘Health Mode’
and click the dropdown option saying ‘Fragility’

After that we can now go to!

Step 1:

Make your arena

Pretty simple, make a square arena, and decorate it as you like.
and use any terrain you desire, I’ll use the ‘Frozen Lake’ terrain.
and add walls surrounding it!

Like this.

Step 2:
Add one Zone in the middle, but make it only fit until its near the edge

See how its not filling our arena completly, that’s how you want it.

Step 3:
Add a Team Switcher and set the settings as seen.

Switch Strategy: Specific Team
Team: (should be default set to Spectators once Switch Strategy is Set to Specific Team

Step 4:
Add any kind of device that can grant a gadget, these include

Item Granter
Item Spawner
Starting Inventory
Vending Machine

I would use the Starting Inventory, since its quite simple
For the gadget though, is kinda your choice,
if you want melee, pick the Pickaxe
for range, pick anything else
I’ll choose…
the Rare Evil Eye.

Step Wires/Channels:
These are self explanatory, but I have both options.

Wire Option

Wire The Zone (Player Leaves Zone) to Team Switcher (Switch player to configured team)


That’s it, and now its finished, but I’ll explain how it works, its very simple but still, if your just copying off, I still want you to understand simple wiring/simple channels.

Channel Option

First, Go to Your zone and go to the ‘When player leaves zone, transmit on’
and Put in “PlayerExited”

Then, Go to your Team Switcher, and find the ‘Switch to configured team when receiving on’ and type in there “PlayerExited”. and your done!, but I’ll explain how it works, its very simple but still, if your just copying off, I still want you to understand simple wiring/simple channels.

How it Functions:
This could be unnecessary, but I digress,
For Wires:
Basically, when a player walks off the Zone, it sends a wire signal to our pal the Team Switcher, and It makes the player “get knocked out” and become a spectator.

For Channels:
Very similar,
When a player steps off the zone, it sends a ‘radio signal’ to our Team Switcher, and when the Team Switcher gets the signal, it does the same thing.

How the Game Works:
Its very simple, but also very chaotic!
Each player attempts to push each other off the zone until last one standing.
as you get hit, your “Fragility” Percentage goes up, the higher it goes, the more knockback you have, and when you get pushed, you’ll slide around in the direction you where hit.

This is also too basic to be a proper guide.

and it isn’t really instructing you at all.

Just vague descriptions


Edit:

Way more detail now :+1:
Much better!

Oh and sigma skibity
