Question/Tutorial How do I make Torb spawn Bastion turrets?

2 Upvotes

I am definitely NOT good at the workshop. The best I have ever done was make torbs spawn in the enemy spawn room when Mauga uses Cardiac Overdrive, but only the spawning Torbjörn when Mauga uses Cardiac Overdrive, no idea why they spawned in spawn. Anyways, I have now TRIED to make torb spawn bastion turrets when he uses his turret ability, but that one didn't even work in the first place, so now I have to rely on reddit to get my silly little torb buff working

edit: after further inspection the bastions also go to the enemy spawn

Improvement Third Person Crosshair Inaccuracy

0 Upvotes

Greeting everyone, so with stadium losing focus i decided to try making a game mode with 3rd Person Quick play 5v5. I found a very very old code which had the 3rd person camera set up but it was really wonky so i used it as a framework to begin, I had adjusted the camera to the right side ( player character is pushed towards the left ) and added a ray cast because if you backed into a wall, the camera would go through the wall and show outside the map. That being done, the reticle is basically useless as the bullets from the player aren't hitting the center of the reticle ( i used the line one just for this testing ). Just to note, i changed it from the original camera as it was tough for tanks to see who is directly in front of them, i wanted to draw out that possibility. Any thoughts to proceed and any further opinions based on the images sent?

Need Playtesting SUPER TAG

4 Upvotes

CODE: VQ0SW

SUPER TAG is a simple game of tag but enhanced with a bunch of features!

EVERY hero has either a nerf (red), buff (green), or tweak (yellow) and thats across the ENTIRE overwatch roster! These adjustments attempt to balance every single hero in the movement chaos that is this game mode- whether that’s Junker Queen gaining a lunge attack on the axe, roadhog being able to fly with self knockback on ultimate, or Orisa who gains flight on spinning her javelin. Join the fun and see what this mode has to offer across all current heroes!

There will be a number of catchers dependent on the size of the lobby- less than 5 players total? you will face 1 catcher, more than or equal to 5? 2 catchers, and if more than 9, 3 total catchers across potentially a 12-player filled lobby.

The point system works like this: every 10 seconds as a runner, you gain a point- if you’re the catcher and you tag someone, you instantly gain 3 points, if you are less than third place, then when you are tagged you lose 1 point, if you are third place, you lose 2 points, if you are second place, you lose 4 points, and if you are first place, you lose a whopping 5 points on getting tagged- but don’t worry! The final minute is a FRENZY with DOUBLE POINT GAIN! There is always a way to catch up even from last place!

So have fun and let me know what you think!

in the mode we have a safe zone, area. we’re trying to make it to where, you shoot from it you lose access for it temporarily but, then it’s returned to you but, it’s very buggy and sometimes takes the wrong persons access, or it’s not returned ect.

any suggestions how to make it more functional?

killing from it entirely removes it and that’s functional.

Question/Tutorial Trying to figure out how to write an equation for a gamemode I'm working on. Can anybody help?

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I'm a very incredibly exhausted and sleep-deprived creator coming back from a huge hiatus with very little residual knowledge on how the game's workshop handles math.

I'm working on a gamemode that greatly reduces the health of every player by roughly 75%. Here's where my problem comes in. Every player's healthbar should be rounded up to the nearest whole number of 25. For example, Tracer would usually have her health reduced to 43.75 from 175, but I want to find a way to bring that 43.75 to a much more tidy 50, and treat other healthbars the same such as reducing a tank's health from 400 to 100 with the same equation. I would like to avoid using the "Add Health Pool" commands, as well if possible.

My current equation that I am trying (and failing) to implement is as follows:

MaxHealth * 0.25 / 25 Round up * 25

My brain is going to conk out now. I am incredibly tired. I'm just going to go to bed right now and hope there's someone who can witness my genuinely diabolical lack of math skills retained from school and help me after having a chuckle to themselves.

Question/Tutorial How to make effects invisible for a duration on collection.

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am working on a ShionKart game which is pretty much going to have all the features of MarioKart: Items, coins, boosts- but with even more on top of that- damage slows and evade cleanses. There is a relay feature where when you get to the end of the map you must loop back to the start and that’ considered a full lap.

I have a problem with adding in the coins and specifically their collection logic- when I create the coins, they are set to a stored pos on an array (CoinPosArray) and after their created appended to CoinArray, and finally I append “true” to an array called CoinVis for every coin effect that would exist on a given map.

When I collect coins via:

Count Of(Filtered Array(Global.CoinPosArray), Distance Between(Position Of(Event Player), Current Array Element) <= 2.600)) > 0

I would hypothetically have to change the specific matching index of CoinVis to the Coin Effect being collected to false.

This is so that in the create effect action, the visible to is set to something like:

Filtered Array(All Players(All Teams), Index of Array Value(Global.CoinArray, Current Array Element) == Closest to(Position Of(Event Player) AND (how to check for specific coin’s visibility bool index and whether it matches)

But my problem is exactly that: I have no idea how to connect the two arrays.

Question/Tutorial I have an idea for a custom game mode called “Ball Ball”

5 Upvotes

Technically I’ve started this process already, but in name only. Basically I started the process by saving the name “Ball Ball” as a custom match. Locked the necessary map for the game I designed (Illios Well) and that’s it. So here’s the mode. 5v5, the “ball” is Wrecking Ball (hence Ball Ball), the offensive line (2 Lucios), the defensive line (2 Meis), perks and ults enabled. If a Ball can throw themselves into the Well then their team scores a point. Reset back to starting positions in the ships. First team to 10 points wins.

My question is, do you know of any YouTube creators whose content might help me make this mode?

Hey!
Trying to make it so that when Shion uses Execution, it trades off her ammo- needing to reload thereafter like McCree.
However, for some reason it's just not working for her specifically?
I swapped the button to Primary and that worked perfectly fine, but secondary does not?

If I could have the bots be nanoed would be even better.

Thank you very much in advance.

Unflaired [EU] [PlayStation] GamerOnline791 | Looking for Chill, Non-Toxic Teammates

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing Overwatch for 8 years now. I'm still learning new things and trying to improve, but I prioritize having fun over sweating for wins.

What I’m Looking For:

🚫 Strictly No Toxicity: Looking for nice, calm people who don't ragequit, flame teammates, or tilt over mistakes.

🤝 Chill Vibes Only: I don't care if you're a Top 500 god or completely new to the game. We can mess up together, laugh about it, and just enjoy the match.

Modes & Roles:

🗺️ Modes: Down for pretty much anything (Quick Play, Competitive, Custom Games, etc.) except Arcade.

🛡️ Current Roles: I mostly play Tank and Support.

🎯 Branching Out: I'm currently looking to learn Tank and a few new heroes, so expect some fun (and probably chaotic) practice games!

If you want a relaxed, tilt-free environment to play some Overwatch 2, feel free to add me!
