Furni Essentials for Your Step On It Arena
Before diving into the wiring process, ensure you have these essential furni items to construct your “Step On It” game:
- Random Banzai Teleporters (x16): These are crucial for player movement and adding an element of surprise. Consider x17 if you want to incorporate a trap area for added challenge.
- Colour Tiles (x12): These tiles will be the core interactive elements of the game, requiring players to step on specific colors.
- Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink Gates (x2 each): Color-coded gates to control player access and progression based on color tile interactions.
- Mouse Trap (x1): Optional, for a trap area to add an extra layer of difficulty and eliminate players (if desired).
- Counter (x1): A Football Furni Counter is recommended for tracking game progress and time.
- Additional Furni: Queue Dividers or Lobby Furni to organize players before they enter the game.
Section 1: Initial Wired Setup – Laying the Foundation
This section focuses on setting up the foundational Wired stack that manages the “colour_id” variable, essential for linking Colour Tiles and Gates.
Wired Stack Configuration (Bottom to Top):
- WIRED Trigger: User Clicks Furni: This trigger initiates the variable assignment when a furni is clicked.
- WIRED Selector: Furni In Area: This selector defines the area where Colour Tiles and Gates are located for variable assignment.
- WIRED Effect: Give Variable: This effect assigns the “colour_id” variable to the clicked furni.
- WIRED Effect: Change Variable Value: This effect increments the “colour_id” value with each click.
- WIRED Variable: Furni Variable: This is the base Wired block that defines and manages the “colour_id” variable itself.
Detailed Steps:
Step One: Configure WIRED Variable: Furni Variable
Open the WIRED Variable: Furni Variable block. Name the variable “colour_id“. Ensure “Has Value” is checked to enable value assignment and set it to “Permanent” to maintain the variable throughout the game session. Click “Ready” to save.
Step Two: Configure WIRED Trigger: User Clicks Furni
Open the WIRED Trigger: User Clicks Furni. In the advanced settings, change “Select furni source:” to “User furni from Selector“. This ensures the trigger responds to clicks on furni within the area defined by the Selector. Click “Ready“.
Step Three: Configure WIRED Selector: Furni In Area
Open the WIRED Selector: Furni In Area. Click “Select Area” and carefully highlight the rectangular area encompassing all your Colour Tiles and Gates. This area is where the variable assignment will take place. Click “Ready” after selecting the area.
Step Four: Configure WIRED Effect: Give Variable
Open the WIRED Effect: Give Variable. Under “Choose variable:“, select the chair icon to access furni variables. From the dropdown menu, choose “Colour Id” (the variable you created). This assigns the “colour_id” variable to the furni clicked within the selected area. Click “Ready“.
Step Five: Configure WIRED Effect: Change Variable Value
Open the WIRED Effect: Change Variable Value. Under “Choose variable:“, again select the chair icon and choose “Colour Id“. For “Operation“, select “Add“. In “Reference value“, choose “Set value” and enter “1“. This crucial step increments the “colour_id” value by 1 each time a furni is clicked, allowing you to assign unique IDs to each tile and gate. Click “Ready“.
Step Six: Assigning Colour IDs to Tiles and Gates
With the initial Wired stack configured, you can now assign unique “colour_id” values to each Colour Tile and Gate. Simply click on each Colour Tile and its corresponding Gate in turn. Each click will increment the “colour_id” variable associated with that specific furni. Continue clicking until you have assigned matching variable IDs to each Colour Tile and its respective Gate. For example, the first Red Tile and Red Gate pair might be assigned ‘1’, the second pair ‘2’, and so on.
Tip: To visualize the assigned “colour_id” variables, type :wf in-game to open the Wired Creator Tools. Navigate to the variable highlighting screen (usually found under Variable pickers), select “Colour Id“, and click “Highlight holders“. This will visually display the assigned IDs on your furni.
Once you have assigned all the “colour_id” variables, you can pick up the entire initial Wired stack, leaving only the WIRED Variable: Furni Variable block in place. This block is essential for storing and managing the “colour_id” variable throughout the game.
Section 2: Tiles and Gates Logic – Making the Game Interactive
This section focuses on creating the Wired stacks that control the interaction between Colour Tiles and Gates, forming the core gameplay loop. We’ll create two Wired stacks for this section.
Wired Stack 1: Tile Activation (Bottom to Top)
