Hello there, fellow forum searchers! Thanks for clicking on this post! This is the first of three guides (the other two are currently in a WIP stage) in Bendyâs Spontaneous and Possibly Cool Guides! (I need a better name.) Now, letâs get started with everybodyâs favorite part:
Devices.
Devices required:
- Game Overlay x 2
- Repeater x 1
- Speed Modifier x 2
- Wire Repeater x 2
- Checker x 1
- Item Granter x 1
now for the steps:
1. Setting up the First Overlay:
- Place a Game Overlay device. This overlay will be the âSprintâ button.
- Open the Game Overlay settings and modify the following:
- Overlay Type: Button
- Overlay Position: Choose as per your preference
- Overlay Text: âSprintâ
- Content Scope: Player
- Visibility Scope: Player
2. Connecting the First Overlay:
- Place a Wire Repeater next to the Game Overlay.
- Connect a wire from the Game Overlay to the Wire Repeater, selecting âButton pressedâ.
- Then, connect a wire back from the Wire Repeater to the Game Overlay, selecting âHide overlayâ.
3. Setting up the Second Overlay:
- Place another Game Overlay device. This one will be the âStop Sprintingâ button.
- Open its settings and modify as follows:
- Overlay Type: Button
- Overlay Position: Match it with the first overlay
- Overlay Text: âStop Sprintingâ
- Visible On Game Start: No
- Content Scope: Player
- Visibility Scope: Player
4. Connecting the Second Overlay:
- Add another Wire Repeater next to the second Game Overlay.
- Connect a wire from the second overlay to this Wire Repeater, selecting âButton pressedâ.
- Then, connect a wire back from this Wire Repeater to the second overlay, selecting âHide overlayâ.
5. Connecting the Overlays Together:
- Connect a wire from the first overlay to the second overlay, selecting âButton pressedâ to âShow overlayâ.
- Also, connect a wire from the second overlay back to the first overlay, selecting âButton pressedâ to âShow overlayâ.
6. Adding Speed Modifiers:
- Place a Speed Modifier below each Game Overlay. Open their settings and set Speed to your desired value (Recommended: 1.2).
- Connect a wire from each overlay to its corresponding Speed Modifier. Select âButton pressedâ to âSet player to configured speedâ.
7. Implementing the Energy Mechanism:
- Place a Repeater on top of the first overlay. Set its âTask Intervalâ to â0.5â and âStop Strategyâ to âAfter receiving on a channelâ.
- Place a Checker on top of the second overlay. Configure its âCheck #1â setting as follows:
- Item: Energy
- Comparison: Greater Than
- Value: 0
8. Wiring the Energy Mechanism:
- Connect a wire from the first overlay to the Repeater, selecting âButton pressedâ to âStart repeaterâ.
- Connect a wire from the second overlay to the Repeater, selecting âButton pressedâ to âStop repeaterâ.
- Connect a wire from the Repeater to the Checker, selecting âRepeater runs taskâ to âRun checkâ.
- Connect multiple wires from the Checker to manage failed checks. These wires should connect to the Repeater (âStop repeaterâ), the first overlay (âShow overlayâ), the second overlay (âHide overlayâ), and the second Speed Modifier (âSet player to configured speedâ).
- Finally, place an
Item Granter next to the Checker. Open its settings and set âItem To Grantâ as âEnergyâ and âAmount To Grantâ as â-1â (or any desired energy usage amount).
- Connect a wire from the Checker to the Item Granter, selecting âCheck passesâ to âGrant itemâ.
And there you have it, your sprint button using energy is ready! Test your setup and make sure everything works as expected.
Happy Gimkitting,
