(me posing with player coordinate device)

today I will teach you how to make the height of the player show up on the leaderboard and the players’ screen in an overlay.

Now I trust that most experienced gimkit players are well aware of how to make this, but I think this would be useful to beginners and users who are confused.


the entire guide...

First, let us get a property, and set it to these settings

now we get the player coordinate device, and set it to these settings:

notice the channel that I used:
update player’s height?

you can change this but make sure it is consistent with the overlay we use later.

Now we get the overlay and just use the default settings except you set the scope of the updated property to: player

In the overlay go to “blocks”, create a block, and type the channel:

do this:

now if you want to customize your overlay you can go to ALL OPTIONS:

Finally, if you want it to show up on the leaderboard:
go to map options —> score —> type —> property —> player’s height

This isn’t a guide on THE player coordinate device, it just uses the player coordinate device…

It is important to note that a game without any spawn points always sets the starting position to X:320 & Y:320 or the middle of the map. (adjust accordingly if you want to create a functionally correct display.)

I actually didn’t know that! thank you for the fun fact
I made this guide mainly for platformer heights:
I don’t have Platformer yet, but I am guessing in Platformer the height starts at 0
