Intro

You may have heard about Pseudo-linking HP in this topic:

Psudo-healthbar Research for street fighters game

So, i’m making a street fighters game and when people like @Txme_Lxss tried helping me with something, it was like a new discovery, making a street fighters healthbar just like in the game!

@Build-pleasse (My bro) tried to solve it before he requested a suspension.

He had some missing pieces, but once I posted this topic…

Making Your Game Aware Of What You're Wielding

This is my very first post, so you might be confused when I say that I have been watching these forums for some time (Since October 3rd). Here we go. Concepts There is no way, that I know of, to make the game automatically recognize what gadget you are wielding. You need to manually wire every input to a system that tells the game what you hold, and either gives or takes to or from you. And yes, I’ve searched, there are no guides on this yet. The Inputs There are multiple inputs to this …

We got the gears greased. Here we go.

Concept

There was once the idea of making Pseudo HP… and it was easy. It just needed one property and some blocks. Keyword: Property. It’s one of the best devices out there! Without it… uh… (HUGE DISCUSSIONS, NO SOLUTION! BONKER GAMES WITHOUT ANY QUALITY LOAD SCREENS! SNEAKY STUFF!) But with our dear property, we could make angelic games like D&D (Current project), text-based games like A Dark Room and more.

I’m starting to think that some Gimkitters out there actually do something good and the rest sit by, racking up plays because they say ‘anime’ in the title.

There’s no limit to how much I can put in these chapter names so yeah how you doing good day hello yeah can your brain brain because if your brain can’t brain you have a problem so make your brain brain or go not brain somewhere else please do I mean braining is the main thing you do while braining your brain in GKC so get your brain to brain

…Yeah.
First, place a number property down. Name it PHP, or
Pseudo
Health
Points
…If you looked at my previous guide, then you will better understand me when I say: make a motherboard that keeps track of every action related to gadgets bought. This will be player-scoped. It will then teleport a player to the screen where it shows you what gadgets you bought, and will ask what gadget you’re wielding. This is key to pseudo-linking the health bars ^[1]. The formula that tells you how much damage you take, at a given time, is this:
Gadget Rarity’s Damage + (Tiles traveled per second / Distance player is away from target) = Number(s) coded to tell game what gadget you have
All of these properties are global. And, for the purpose of the research topic mentioned earlier, this formula is intended for 2 players.
The formulas for how much damage you take in PHP and Regular HP:
PHP: PHP / Reg HP x Damage Taken
Reg HP: Damage taken ^[2]
Anyway, that’s it! @Blackhole927, could you make this a wiki, because I only have a 1 day edit limit and people might ask me to add more?

1. Ask me about this later if you want to ↩︎

2. That’s it ._. ↩︎

3. Collective time, not days visited on this project ↩︎

4. Also collective time ↩︎

5. Those explain what they can do, and how to implement them, but this explains how to link both types. ↩︎

Aw man, the TOC doesn’t work…

[Spydecraft245]

Bro!!! Thank you so much for this amazing guide made!
(First like and weird lego pfp lol)
Even if this isn’t done

[Kosm0-o]

I’m confused on how this actually tethers the 2 hps (pseudo and real) together. Could you provide a gif or smth?

[NoLife]

Can’t really provide a GIF right now…
but basically you use number naming to tell the game which gadget you’re using, and it’ll calculate how long it takes for the projectile to reach its target and how much damage it deals.
You could put both types of HP as the same number, or you can multiply regular health by whatever (has to be above 1), but make sure to divide or subtract by it or its multiplicative.
(Thanks, BH!)
EDIT: BOB???
I thought you said you’d visit once a month…

You can use vimeo. ^[1]

   How to Make a Voting System for Maps [] (Roblox Style!) ↩︎

[NoLife]

I didn’t have time…

[Kosm0-o]

you can’t track if a player gets hit though. so this is flawed.
you can’t track where the projectile is shot either.

[Y0ur_L0cal_Weird0]

I hate to breakittoya but your links don’t work…

[NoLife]

You can pseudo-track if a player gets hit, using the game’s knowledge of when they’re damaged, how much they’re damaged, and if you’re using that with a moving target aiming system.

[NoLife]

Fixed da links.
EDIT: @Blackout GO NOT BRAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT SAYS RIGHT HERE!
(I’m sorry)
In replies, I thought you were BH lol

[Blackout]

my brain is not brain rn

[TheWorldo]

my brain runs on juice

[Kosm0-o]

@NoLife

You can pseudo-track if a player gets hit

enlighten me

[NoLife]

Animated target system

+
Number designations (ie quantum portal is 089, blaster is 001)
+
Telling system how gadget works
ie “example” gadget: 5(tiles) x 32 (tiles from target) / 60 (secs) = 2.66666… (time to reach target)
That’s 5 times 32, divided by 60 = 2.66666…
or tiles x tiles from target / 60 = time to reach target
Damage = 54
This system is activated by a lifecycle (when gadget fired)

=

Pseudo-tracking when a player gets hit! ^[1]
Should I make a guide on this or no?

1. Whooo that was a long math essay ↩︎

[Fleet]

wait how would this even detect if the projectile lets just say, misses, or disappears because its gone traveling for too long, then what would this do? we cant really detect where we are aiming so this doesn’t actually really work that much now that I think of it.

[NoLife]

You can always try to freeze the other player when the game knows the Gim is touching the target.
The arena that was in the pseudo-health research had intended to be small, so really any gadget could do the job.
It was platformer too.
Besides, they are gonna use pseudo-attacks, way easier to track.

[Epi320]

umm, no life.
what if u miss?

[Fleet]

I just asked that question and he pointed out that most of the time people are going to be using pseudo-attacks not actual projectiles, which is WAY easier to track.

[Epi320]

oh.
ok…
so this only works for pseudo attacks?
