How to make your own working flag (🟨 or 2/5)

Assuming you know how a waypoint works (if not, read this guide), you probably know that it can track either it’s own location, a flag’s location, or a player’s location. The first two of those are pretty easy to set up, but I’ve seen quite a lot of confusion over the final one.

If you’ve ever tried to have a waypoint track a player using wires, you’ll notice it’s not possible. The only wiring options are to activate and deactivate the device.

To have a waypoint track a player, you need to use channels. There’s a setting in the device, “start tracking player when receiving on”, which is how you do it.

As I talked about before, the player that is in the channel’s data (the triggering player) will be the one the player starts tracking. So if you want a waypoint to track a specific player, you’ll have to have that player trigger something that broadcasts on a channel. You could use blocks to pick a player by their name (let me know if you want an actual tutorial on that), or use a relay to pick a random player, or whatever you want, it’s up to you.
