Author Topic: I need some help with events  (Read 869 times)

Hi there. I am making a team fort wars, where each team has ~15* minutes to build and ~15 minutes to attack. I am planning on having a wall that separates the two teams while they have the ~15 minutes to build. I need help on how to make the wall disappear for ~15 minutes and then reappear after that for ~15 minutes automatically. I am pretty sure it has to do with VCE, but I am clueless with that, so can anyone help me?

*~15 means that it may be 15, it might not.

Let me make a video real quick, they way I am going to do it is kind of hard to explain with events.

NOEDIT: Hard to explain in text.

Something along the lines of http://www.xfire.com/video/293699/this.

2 bricks=1 minute, but for 15 minutes, use 29 bricks.


or you could set a variable to time in half minutes, then decriment it by 1 every 30 seconds, or a delay 30000, and when it's 0, the wall goes down, and resets, then toggles events for next time it hits 0, it will put it back up, although i would've used toggles at first, but variables would work better i think

A quadrupal post? That's new... anyway yes i agree with both phflack and  GenaralSkar using another Newbish way to do it is to put bricks side by side and every 30 seconds have the fire a projectile and so on until about 15 minutes have passed... that's about all i can offer withought comppying ideas :)

use relays

use relays
Probobly jsut my stupidity but can't relays go through one brick to another? (prob not)

no... it's only for bricks touching

Thank you so much.
Btw, where did you get that skin? Me like.

Tell them to begin building.
15 minutes later, release the wall manually.

Or, if you really want to do it with events, try the fireRelayNum event.

0 onActivate -> Minigame -> Centerprintall "15 minutes to build
1 [30000]onActivate -> self -> fireRelayNum (2)
2 [30000]onActivate -> self -> fireRelayNum (3)
.....


If you don't want to download that, you can fireRelayUp (or another direction) and have the relay events in the next brick, lining them up until the delay is long enough.

Alright, thanks everyone. I'm locking this now.
