Hello! Is me Colton with yet ANOTHER GUIDE (I dislike making these lol)

What is a “Knock Out”? A Knock Out in Gimkit is when a player (or NPC) “d!es” and has to respawn at a spawn point or at the World set spawn.

Knock Out INFO
Types of Knock Outs

Player to Player

Player to NPC
NPC to Player

  • Sentry

Device to Player

  • Laser
  • Damager
What does not count?

Respawning does not count as a Knock out because no damage is being done to them. In order to active a knock out the player must hit ZERO health.

Tagging does not count because it also respawns the player without doing any damage.

Knocked Out VS Knocks Out

Knocked Out
This is when a player is Knocked out by another player, NPC, or Device

Knocks Out
This is when you Knock out a player or NPC with a gadget. You cant count Lasers or Damagers because the game does not count it as player controlled when it is activated.

Knock Out Manager

The Knock Out Manager is able to… well uhh. Manage Knock Outs (come on its in the name :sob:)
This will allow you to select actions for a player if they Knock Out a player or if they get Knocked Out.

How can KO's be used?

We can use KO’s to have players score points, punish players, or just force an action to a player who gets KOed or KOs. Knock Outs are one of the core Gimkit functions for scoring points and gaining something from a Knock Out.

What's this information for?

This Informational Guide is to explain how Knock Outs work and how they can be used for point systems, respawn systems, checking systems, ect. This guide is also here to clear some confusion (not saying there is any) about what can and cant count as a Knock Out or a Knocked Out player.

This Guide is a little scuffed because I used my knowledge to make this guide! Any additional info would be nice and I will gladly take any information anyone else has that I didn’t include.

How informational what this?

  • It was GRRRRRREAT
  • Is alright idk…
  • Youve made better dude >:(

I’ve created the game-info tag for this guide.
I’ll probably scroll through a bunch of similar guides later and add the tag to them as well.
Make sure that if you make any more of these, you use the mentioned tag!

Also, great guide!

I am pretty sure that respawing counts as a knockout. I made a map like Knock back, and players get “points” whenever they knock another player into the void. It is set to fragility, so players cannot actually knockout players, but it is still counted when they are respawed by the respawner device. I have not tested this much, so it might only work when the game mode is set to fragility.

I believe this only counts as a knockout because someone did damage to them before the player respawns. If a player respawns without taking damage from their last respawn to their knockout, it does not count as a knockout. However, if someone hits them, even if they heal, it will still count as a knockout
(I have tested this in the official knockback gamemode)

Yes, I forgot to include that in my post. But I am wondering if that rule only applies to fragility game modes, or if it applies to all of them.

I think it happens in all game modes, because it wouldn’t really matter if the damage taken was in the form of fragility or raw damage, the effect would be the same anyway

But like, why would you need this guide?

it only happens with fragility cuz with fragility you can’t really get a KO unless they respawn cuz there is no health system for it
I even tested it.

Nice guide but… you forgot one detail.

!!!SENTRIES CAN KNOCK OUT OTHER SENTRIES!!!

Like seriously, how do more people not know this? Thats why sentries have a team option in their settings.

Annoyingly, you cannot trigger sentry specific knockout actions.

This does not count to the player. This guide is explaining what can knock out a player and what a player can knock out.
