Sentries not dropping items on knockout

[Nolan_t]

In my gimkit game, sentries are not dropping items on knockout, even though it says it will drop it in the sentries settings.

Can you show us the settings for the sentry?

So it doesn’t drop when it d1es? I suggest rebooting the game and seeing where that can get you.
If not, try making a new sentry.

Thanks for telling!!!

[Nolan_t]

This doesn’t work. The only solution is item granters, and I want it dropped on the ground so the player has a choice if they want to pick up the item or not.

[Kormorant]

Yeah, I can’t do anything else. I don’t know what to do…

Try switching what item it gives? Or copy and paste it and see if that helps

[Nolan_t]

Copying doesnt help and I have a lot of other sentries with different items and it doesnt work for them!

This is really unusual. If sentries don’t work then i guess the only option is an unavailable button (connected to an item granter) that turns available when recieving a channel from the sentry when it gets knocked out.

you could also connect the sentry to an item granter per wire, the rest is quite self-explanatory

Hmm… that’s strange! I’m not sure if this would work, but maybe you can use a knockout manager? I haven’t used one before, but I think that it just tracks when a sentry is knocked out, and you can grant the player an item when it is. Though maybe that’s not what you’re looking for…

If I may suggest an alternative, you could use the manager to grant cash or something like that, then have a shop where you can buy gadgets with the reward you receive from knocking out sentries.

If you want some ideas...

I’d personally use a game overlay device for this (making it a button and connecting it to a teleporter so they can teleport there whenever they want to), but there might be better ways

Just make sure then can actually leave, not be traapped there for eternity

Apologies if this was not helpful. If you want to see if anyone else has this glitch as well, I’d suggest posting it in Bugs .
