The Scawy Way to make abilities (With visual cooldowns)

[ImScawy]

This is how to make abilities
(I have looked at many other guides and made my own way to make abilities.)
Pardon me if I copy another guide.
Disclaimer: I use a LOT of wires

Speed/Dash

Items needed:
3 Game Overlays
2 Speed Modifiers
3 Wire Repeaters

Steps

1. Place a Game Overlay and make it a button
2. Make another Game Overlay that is text that says “On Cool-down”
3. Do the same thing (A text overlay) but make the Overlay say “Using”
4. Place all 3 Wire Repeaters
   1a. Make 1 wire repeater default
   2a. Make another wire repeater to be how long the ability will be active
   3a. Make the final wire repeater’s delay, (Amount of delay you want + 2a’s delay)
5. Place a speed modifier set to the speed in which you want
6. Place a default speed modifier

We are done with the setup!

Wiring:

Button Game Overlay → 1a Wire Repeater
Default Wire Repeater → Button Game Overlay (Hide Overlay)
Button Game Overlay → “Using” Text Game Overlay (Show Overlay)
Button Game Overlay → 2a Wire Repeater
Button Game Overlay → 3a Wire Repeater
Button Game Overlay → Speed modifier that has been changed
2a Wire Repeater → Default Speed Modifier
2a Wire Repeater → “Using” Text Game Overlay (Hide Overlay)
2a Wire Repeater → “On Cool-down” Text Game Overlay (Show Overlay)
3a Wire Repeater → “On Cool-down” Text Game Overlay (Hide Overlay)
3a Wire Repeater → Button Game Overlay (Show Overlay)

Finished Product

And Your Done! It will repeat and be visual!
Tip: Make all the Game Overlays in the same place

3. Do the same thing (A text overlay) but make the Overlay say “Using”
4. Place both Wire Repeaters
   1b. Make 1 wire repeater default
   2b. Make the final wire repeater delay the cool-down you want for your move
5. Place a Damage/Health modifier set to the speed in which you want

I used a trigger delay for the cool down and ability length but you do you!

also I got tl2 yay!

[Jobozo1875]

Good first guide!
Remember, pictures are powerful!

[IDK]

Hey I see that this is your first guide but could you please add some pictures

[ImScawy]

alright I added some pictures

[GimGuy]

this is one of the best guide i['ve seen in a while.
great work, looks great, and sorta original!

---

also, the teleportation is interesting, i like the idea
it could also be… randomized. that’d be neat.

---

anyways, the ‘finished product’ image in the teleporter section has…
no teleporter in the image.

[ImScawy]

my bad. in my map the teleporter is out of range. also, if you put many teleporters it is randomized

[XxDaNeUrOnxX]

Dont know if its a bug (probably) but the sprint activates itself but also gives no speed boost. So you deal with the cooldown but dont give the benefits.

[ImScawy]

so in my map it automatically sets the speed on knockout and all you might have to do that
