[Help] Demon head blob shot activator?

Post by DrMadolite »

How do I setup a Demon Head to shoot a white blob at a receptacle to make it do some action, whenever an event activates the Demonhead? My plan is to have 3 pressure plates be pressed within a time period, which in turn causes the demonhead to shoot the projectile and the receptacle to open a door onHit (as well as count down a timer so that you need to hurry to the door.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you mean spawner and receptor.

Neikun is right the daemonhead is just for looks. you'll need a spawner in the same space as the deamonhead set to spawn 'blob's.. and a receptor that is also set to activate by 'blob's

One of my videos shows you the basics of the blob shooter and receptor. If you want to have to step on three plates before a timer runs out that will be a little more tricky, but basically you would make it so stepping on the first one would start a timer and when the timer runs out, whatever you set up to detect all three plates being pressed would get reset if only 1 or 2 were pressed. There are a number of ways to detect if each of three plates was pressed (and not just one of them 3 times), such as setting flags or adjusting whether the party can activate them, etc, but all will involve some scripting

Ok thanks guys, I will definitely watch Komag's series. And I already got an idea for the pressure plates.

Cheers.

Btw, is there a way to make a pressure plate stay pressed (activated) until it's specifically deactivated? I've tried this with or without "Activated Once", but I can't seem to figure it out.

I can't remember the effect of messing with PressurePlate:setActivateOnce(true/false).

You could always use "activate once" plates and then when you want to reset them just destroy them and spawn new ones!

U can set a second "connector" on your plate, to trigger on deactivate, (When weight is taken off the pad). Or You could use a separate plate just set for items, and use a timed teleporter to put an object on it (activate), then off of it (deactivate) whenever you like.(Or that same timer could just handle whatever you're plate is connecting to).
