Relay Pain Events

[Audax]

Ok so I want to make a survivalRP (since a mod hasn't been made yet) and want to make heat events.Now what I want to do is make the spawn point No Rending or Ray casting but collision.Now what I want to do is onPlayerTouch>player>fireRelay.Then on the next event a delay of like 3 minutes and onRelay>player>addHealth>-10.On next event delay 3minutes onRelay>client>centerPrint>You're body temperature lowered.So that it's as if you got cold and then a fire which adds health when you get near it there are invisible bricks that "warm you up"But there is no fireRelay for the player object. How can I get around this?

relays are to the brick, not player, so i would try something like this:
make a spawn point with rendering off, when a player touches it, if they have the variable nothing happens, if they don't they get the variable, and a brick is decrement print counted 9 and 1, which then loops for every half minute, adding -5 health or so

[Audax]

Ok I couldn't really understand that very clear but how would it look evnt wise like: (delay)_____>_____>_____>(message) [optional] etc. and so forth down?

Well, relays can call to check a variable, which would apply to the player.

You shouldn't use relays though, since relays will only apply for the last person that touched it. Instead, use onPrintCountUnderflow (like phflack said); it applies to multiple people. Here's how you make a loop:


onPlayerTouch > self > decrementPrintCount > 9
onPlayerTouch > self > decrementPrintCount > 1
onPrintCountUnderflow > player > VCEifVariable > heattick != 999 4 4
onVariableTrue > player > addHealth > -10
onPrintCountUnderflow > self > decrementPrintCount > 9
onPrintCountUnderflow > self > decrementPrintCount > 1


I can't guarantee that will work. Though underflows apply to multiple people, variables may not in this case.

hmm... or snaily, maybe a projectile for each person? i think it would be better to use variables because then you can make sure the player only has one loop going, or you could do a more complex system i thought of but it would require the same amount of named bricks as the server limit of players
it would be a row of 2 bricks high, the top row named and firing a relay to the brick below it which would be the looping brick, and when that happens it toggles to firing a relay to the rest of the chain, when the brick stops having a relay it could make the brick above it toggle back, but this has flaws (thought of it before i figured out printcounts)
flaws are that a person can have multiple relays on multiple bricks, and that you can't use player events unless you spawn a projectile from it to a brick nearby

Yea Snaily your idea can't work becuase the is no Player object for onPrintCountUnderFlow. But phlack what was your first idea evnt wise setup like how snaily did his?

Oh yeah, you need to check a variable with VCE ifValue, which applies to self.

onPrintCountUnderflow > Self > VCEifValue > '<var:pl:heattick>' != 999

[Audax]

onPrintCountUnderflow > Self > VCEifValue  I don't seem to have VCEifValue.I have variables but not that output.

That is the new Variable Conditional Events (VCE v5). Found here.

Actually the mod has been done, just not released. maybe polymer can help...or was it plaz? >.> <.<

[Audax]

Well I will like having a survivalRP server that uses events before an actual Blockland Global Mod is released then tons of servers will be using it.

[Audax]

Oh yeah, you need to check a variable with VCE ifValue, which applies to self.

onPrintCountUnderflow > Self > VCEifValue > '<var:pl:heattick>' != 999

Wait now where do I put this? Can you just add that to the Evnet setup maybe a pic or somthing? Also with dthe delays so it repeats every once and a while kinda like your getting colder?

(Sorry for double post, edit button as gone)

[Snaily]

Something like this.

Again, I can't guarantee that it will work for everyone that touches the brick.

[Audax]

Thank you so much Snaily it works!Ok I think it will be able to work on other players but for now I'll just keep the topic locked.

[Audax]

Ok one problem even after you die it keeps the previouse one going so that if its -10 then it adds another -10 so its becomse -20.And if you stand on it too long every ten seconds it will kill you so is there a way the event can noly happen once and still keep going but just so it doesnt keep multiplying the damage?
