your system takes a lot more than 3% memory
remember, you have 20k memory of sentries

25

The one thing that i would want is if I had a gadget and hit the sentries, the health isn’t shared, so’d it would have to be OHKOD or invincible.

do not

I love repeaters, I spammed a map full of them because they are so awesome, I even got rid of all the triggers and props in my map because the main attraction is the repeaters please don’t cancel me twitter and please help me. I found a repeater in my McDonald’s happy meal.

I mean using props instead of using sentries

And @T_Sonic54 I used my previous guide on pseudo-sentry health, that should do it
using that guide,
1 property
2 triggers
1 block
1 lifecycle
1 checker
I think

i’m sorry what

Make a prop chase you

but for this guide it’s for minigames like pac-man.

30

but like
that’s not what the guide is on
why do we need to be chased by a prop

31

Because I said so.
and also to save memory as a secondary reason.
Guys let’s not argue here please

32

I just read it, and I don’t really think the two would be compatible together.

i also don’t really think that you can give sentries pseudo health like you can do with a player
the guide just confused me

We would have the checker send on a channel to deactivate the repeating trigger, so that would make the sentry “dead”. We could then activate the trigger again to revive the sentry.

But that would have the same effect as if the sentry was one tapped and turned off the entire system. Not exactly pseudo health

36

I finally figured out how it works (i think)

but when you ‘kill’ the sentry, it’s not dead, which isn’t slick. it feels slipshod at best
then it comes back and bothers us again

38

Guys did you even read the guide fully
How it works, when any sentry dies by a “tap” you decrease the value of a property (or counter) when that property reaches 0, you deactivate the repeating trigger.
So this means you have to “kill” the sentry many times, decreasing it’s shared pseudo-health each time.

we did read it
problem is, you knock out the sentry, then it comes back, and you keep doing that, and it looks bad

it’s kinda like that one guide that simulated an item spawner by having 2 sentries knockout each other: just a mid concept

40

but the sentry has 1 hp so it gets knocked out on hit. is there a better idea?
