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

[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 @GimSolver 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.

[GimSolver]

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

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.

[GimSolver]

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

[CringeKarlScott]

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

[GimSolver]

Yes, my bad, button pressed.

[GimSolver]

I added it! Now all I need to add is the score, which is relatively easy. I’ll do it tomorrow.
Thanks again @CringeKarlScott for the waypoint advice.

@Trasch

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

Because I want to represent!

I don’t live there.

[GimSolver]

I finished! Finally!

[speedy_kd4]

this is pretty easy, the only reason i rated it a higher difficulty is because it requires block-code.

[GimSolver]

Could we have more voters?

[JRgimkit]

imma prolly make a palestine one

[GimSolver]

Um, I don’t think that’s very appropriate…

[Haiasi]

It’s fine. People have the right to express themselves.
As long as they don’t reference it to or add details corresponding to the war, and publish it to discovery, I don’t see the problem.

Idea: What if the flag text was hidden and replaced by another if the flag was recaptured by a different team?
