The Blizzian CTF Guide - Updated from Original Guide

[Blizzy]

Intro

All of you - No, most of you - know my guide of How to make a Capture the Flag game [ ]. It was one of my first guides when I first became active on the forums, as CTF was a huge thing back then. Nowadays, it still is, just that there are tons of updates people have made.

So, I’m going to just be copying and pasting the stuff from my original guide. Don’t worry, it’s not copyrighted!

Terrain

@Blizzy

First, you should choose an area on your Creative Map, and lay down tiles as your territory, and do that once for each team. Put one or two spawn pads on each team’s side, and that will be your Terrain!(Be sure to have enough space to add your flag)

Below are some nice combinations of team colors:

Basically, try doing opposite colors, like white-black or red-green.

Flags

@Blizzy

Capture the Flag without flags wouldn’t be Capture the Flag, am I right? So now, place two flags of two different colors and put them at the opposite end of your teams’ territories! You can do any two colors, just find two that you like!

Depending on the terrain, you probably want to match the terrain with the flags. Make sure to have these settings on:

Match the colors like this:

Score

@Blizzy

What’s a game without a score? Not one. Well, you have to first go to Map Options in settings, go to Score, switch the Score type to “Property”, Name the score property something like “Flags” or “Flag Score”, Switch the Score name to “Score” or “Flags”, and make sure that the Score Group is “Team”. That’s the basics. Now for the actual score.
Place a counter down for each team, and go to “Featured” and make sure Count Scope is Team, Starting Value is 0, and the Counter is not visible in game. Now go to “Property” in the counter settings, and switch “update property” to yes, and the Property to update what ever you did for the Score Property.
Now, place two flag zones, one for each team, and set those two whichever team’s flag you will capture(I am sure you will work it out). Now wire the Flag zone to the the Team’s counter, and set it to “When flag captured, increment counter”. Do that for each team.
Now put down a property device, and set the Property name to Flag score or whatever your score is called. Set the Property Type to “Number”, Default Value to 0, and Property Scope to Team. That’s all for score!

These are the images that go with it:

Tunnels

@Blizzy

The Tunnels themselves are easy, but I’m telling you about how to make the barriers that can block off anyone. I’m sure you know how to build speed upgrades and other upgrades, so I’m skipping off to this. It might seem confusing, but I’m sure you can figure it out!
First, choose something for your button that does NOT block the tunnel. It could be a chair or something(you can shrink it down). Now, add a vending machine and make it not visible in Game. Change the “Grant Item” to Transmit on Channel, set the item required to energy or anything you want. The amount you can also choose(personally, I would choose 4,000). Now, go to Transmit on Channel(the setting) and set the Item name to “Barrier” or anything you want. Oh, and set the Stock to Limited Stock, aka 1. You should make the vending machine only be able to be purchased by one team. Now we can add the wall itself. Choose something in your props like a barrier or an ice barrier or a plant barrier. Put that at the mouth of the tunnel, and make sure the vending Machine’s size surrounds the barrier. Now put down a lifecycle device. Make sure it says “Game Start” at the Event slot. Use a wire and connect the lifecycle device to the barrier(lifecycle → barrier) and set it to “When event occurs, hide prop”. For the last part, connect the vending machine to the barrier(Vending machine → Barrier) and set it to “When Item purchased, show prop”.

I won’t be making the actual tunnel system here, but these are the settings for the devices

How to make Custom Energy-Per-Question

Okay, so, yes, you’re all probably surprised I’m finally making a guide again. Yes, I have been gone for a long time. But I hope this will help you on your journey to make your Gimkit games! The first thing you must do is gather these materials: Button 1x Counter 5x - You can do more if you want more than 10000 energy Trigger 11x - Same with Counter; More if you want Property 6x - Yes, I know, a lot! Your Answer Question Button setup - You can use my guide, How to Make a Button to Answer …

Yes, I know, a ton of these guides are made by me. No, it’s not just because I’m biased with myself. It’s just that these are some of the only guides on these topics.
