Why do people try to recreate existing gimkit mechanics by mimicking them with other devices?

[Fleet]

I’m mainly confused is there like a advantge to doing this or something else?

What do you mean? Give me an example.

as in guides like this

Pseudo-sentry health and (maybe?) pseudo-player health hit detection system

Hello, chunky here. Time to get into the guide. So the idea behind pseudo-sentry health is having a sentry at a low health, like 1. This means when the sentry is hit, it will die. But the sentry will respawn in less than a second, so this gives us a way of tracking sentry health, in a pseudo-way. How to make it First, grab a sentry. (duh) You may want it to have low health.

that isn’t what I mean
I know what a trigger loops is

Pseudo: false, fake

the reason for that guide is probably street fighters or some other fighting game

I was more so wondering if recreating these mechanics allows you to do things you usally cant

[XxGuyt6517xX]

no, I think they are purely cosmetical
