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

[Haiasi]

Yep.
Wait actually, you have to make it activate on the ‘close’ channel which means the player who entered the zone is on the opposite team, otherwise it’ll track the player regardless if they’re on the protecting team.

[Trasch]

how come out of every flag in existence you used the Taiwan flag?
just wondering

[StacheIsTaken]

but then it’ll track them forever.

[StacheIsTaken]

also, what if another person enters?

[Haiasi]

How is the flag captured and returned in your guide?
We’re gonna have to figure that out first before we can deactivate the waypoint.

[StacheIsTaken]

If player enters zone → they get a point and show prop and text.
if player gets tagged → show prop and text
@Haiasi!

[StacheIsTaken]

@haiasi, what now? How do I pick who to track?

[CringeKarlScott]

it’s whoever transmitted the channel message

and again, @GimSolver, REMOVE THE “CUSTOM” FROM THIS GUIDE’S TITLE AND CONTENT PLEASEE

[StacheIsTaken]

Why?
So whoever activated the waypoint, it tracks them?

[StacheIsTaken]

Right?

[CassiusDoomlorde]

So waypoints are activated so they are seen by a player, but what you want it the ‘start following player’ if you want to follow someone.

[StacheIsTaken]

Why did the custom get removed? It’s custom…

[CringeKarlScott]

IT’S NOT CUSTOM
HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THIS

YOU’RE CHOOSING FROM A SPECIFIC SET OF EMOJIS
YOU’RE NOT MAKING YOUR OWN CUSTOM FLAG

@ClicClac thank you so, so much for removing “custom” from the title since @StacheIsTaken didn’t

[CringeKarlScott]

im making a guide on how channels work right now, read that once its posted

[ClicClac]

Yes.

The problem arises when you are technically asking the waypoint to activate for multiple people at once. One waypoint per entity is the golden rule of waypoints.

[StacheIsTaken]

Wait, so is there or is there not a way to track a player that clicked the button?

[speedy_kd4]

i like how you used the taiwan flag, very cool

[CringeKarlScott]

alr the guide is posted, here’s the relevant part:

@CringeKarlScott

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.

[StacheIsTaken]

So player enters zone (activate channel) to the waypoint.

[CringeKarlScott]

wouldn’t it be when the flag is picked up?
