Ingredients
Necesitarás:
| Number | Device |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2X Trigger device |
| 2 | 1X Player Spawn Pad device |
| 3 | 1X Conditional Button device |
| 4 | 1X Lock device |
| 5 | 1X End Game device |
| 6 | 1X HUD Message device |
| 7 | 1X Prop Manipulator device |
| 8 | 1X Item Spawner device |
| 9 | 1 objeto clave |
Objetos
Para que funcione esta mecánica de juego, necesitarás generar un objeto clave al usar el dispositivo de generador de objetos. El botón condicional consumirá el objeto clave cuando el jugador lo encuentre y lo equipe.
Para añadir un objeto al dispositivo de generador de objetos:
-
Arrastra un objeto de la lista hasta que veas el ícono de mochila.
-
Select the Item Spawner device.
-
Select Tab > Play.
-
Arrastra el objeto desde el espacio hasta el generador de objetos para equiparlo con el objeto.
Method
Place the first Trigger device somewhere that players are guaranteed to step on. This provides a way for the HUD Message device to send players their first clue.
El primer dispositivo activador también activará el dispositivo de manipulador de objeto, el cual hará que desaparezca el objeto (2) que oculta el objeto (1) para escapar y que el generador de objetos genere el objeto (1).
Place the Trigger device in front of a desk or beside a bed. Don’t place it directly in front of the player. Players should have a chance to explore the room before they get their first clue.
Cuando un jugador reciba una pista, comenzará a buscar los objetos que lo ayudarán a escapar de la sala. Cuando los jugadores encuentren un objeto, lo equiparán y se dirigirán a la puerta de escape.
Cuando el jugador lleve el objeto al dispositivo de botón condicional, el dispositivo de bloqueo abrirá la puerta de escape.
Place the second Trigger device outside of the escape door. When a player unlocks the door and steps on the Trigger device, the End Game device will be triggered to end the game.
