How to make a zone device shrink

[Teehee]

so I am trying to make a storm like system for a game and I ran into an issue. I cant figure out how to make the zone device shrink. I don’t know if its even possible to I thought I would post my problem here.

You can’t make the zone device shrink. Instead, you have to make something like this:

How to make a storm for your battle royale games! [1/10]

Now I know, before you say, “Pika_Pokemon already done this!11! why are you reposting this guide?!” Now with the new damager device, we can take away damage from the player via that device! Using a simple storm system, this can force players to move inwards and well, end the game. As it’s a battle royale, you don’t want the game going on too long and your friends building a literal fort trying to survive from another players chaos of quantum portals. So a storm system is really useful for endi…

so this is a good tutorial but I have one issue, I either didn’t see it or it doesn’t really show how to make it smaller.

[Legobuilder]

do like animation, have one zone big, and one smaller zone, and the first deactivates when the second activates, and so on

[Stealthknight2]

zones don’t shrink you just create multiple zones that spread out and triggers activate them slowly.

Are you looking for the “Change Size” button in the bottom left?

[getrithekd]

You’ll need to get into the settings for the zone and look at the bottom left corner. You’ll see a blue button that says change size.

I do like that idea, How would I do that with the materials though. I did not see world timer device or something like that.

You can use a trigger chain that activates upon the game starting and with a delay of 1 second and store the number of times the triggers are triggered in a property.

use wire repeaters instead, because they are less memory

[getrithekd]

Actually, considering the input and output wires, wire repeaters are more memory:

5 x 2 for wire repeaters
10 x 2 for wires repeating signal
10 for wire starting signal
10 for wire outputting signal
= 50 memory.

[bob_the_tomato]

Wait, I’m lost and confused, what are those?

[getrithekd]

Like the wires to start and transmit the repeating signals.

Devices

• counter

• property

• trigger x2

• as many zones as you want
  Step 1: have the counter have a default value of how ever many zones you have, and have it update on property name: shrinker. Then make it decrement timer on triggered

  Step 2: get your property and name it shrinker (make sure it’s a number property), and have it brodcast on shrink when updated.

  Step 3: make the first trigger trigger when receiving on shrink, then in the blocks

 brodcast message on channel: create text with: #
                                                get property shrink

Step 4: place all your zones getting smaller and smaller. Have the most outside zone deactivate on # (the number of zones you have. Ex. 5) and keep going down

Step 5: get your second trigger trigger on and receive on triggered, and having the delay of how fast you want the zones to “shrink”
