repeaters are still useless

That’s kinda harsh, they work well for some things (they’re easier for beginners).

Reasons that Repeaters are useless stated by Shdwy (Summing up stuff)
Triggers and wire repeaters can repeat (BOOM)
Periods of time, number of reps, and receiving on channel, also replicated by those devices (BOOM)
Max tasks are already done by triggers and trigger recursion (recursion from other ppl, BOOM)
Caveman language: Repeater badddd. Much memory. Trigger same, moorrree. Trigger start X, trigger to X. Trigger gooooddd. Counter tracks. (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)

… no they aren’t, they can be used to check if the host IN SPECIFIC is KO’d, as once the host gets knocked out the repeaters just stop! so they aren’t completely useless

Umm, you can do that with triggers and knockout managers.
If you have a trigger that is deactivated on game start on default and player scoped, then have a lifecycle (Game Start) activate it again, then wire the KO to the trigger (Knockout → Trigger) then you get a detection system for when the host is KO’d!

life cycle
wire repeater
knockout manager, easiest one
life cycle is host scoped, so it’s host only
but I think there’s an easier way let me think

the host, in specific. ONLY THE HOST, the KO manager checks ALL players, and triggers can be activated by other players too, and if the host and a normal player have the same name? well the trigger cant tell the difference
edit: sorry if I sounded rude.
life cycle I believe is host only for game start, everything else is global

That’s why you change the trigger scope to player.

I was talking about lifecycles here
life cycle, property, wire repeaters, counter.
Life recycle, host scoped. Then it goes to a counter with a property that’s global for everyone. If the host is knocked, then the counter will go up. But the life cycle paired with the wire repeater constantly check with the y’know counter but my brain is getting stuff mixed up but smth like that
in conclusion
repeaters are absolutely useless, the only thing they are good for is to save a couple of seconds and are easier to use, but trigger repeaters are slightly more easier, so no point.
The lifecycle only applies for the game host.
on game start, everything else is a global scope
not if you change the scope?
maybe you mean like some things are global but there are ways to counter this
oh yeah. I remember now.
Life cycle for host scoped, then you go to a counter with a property that goes up when a player gets oofed. Since the life cycle is host scoped it goes to wire repeaters that constantly check what the host’s property is and if it goes up, only they host will get something in return as it’s scoped for him
btw it’s not even a flame war, it’s just a civil debate on why repeaters are just better and he is trying to make a way to counter this, but we are just trying to show him that’s not true

Use a lifecycle and triggers instead.

I said that to him, but he keeps telling us that the scope is global fsr
even though there’s something called changing the scope from player to team to global
(not trying to sound rude btw, I think i’m just trying to give constructive criticism, but maybe i’m not getting the point he is trying to give out)
