In many game modes that Gimkit creates, players are allowed to answer questions from anywhere!
Here’s how to build this same mechanic in your own maps!
- Place down a Questioner device.
- Place down a Game Overlay device.
The Game Overlay device allows you to display UI (user interface) above what’s happening in-game. It’s helpful for displaying info a player might need at all times, or in this case, allowing them to take action from anywhere!
- Click the Game Overlay device to begin editing it.
- Set the Overlay Type to Button
- Set where you want the button to be placed. In modes made by Gimkit, we use the bottom left corner; you might want to put your button there too!
- Set the text of the button! In modes made by Gimkit, we use Answer Questions, but you can set it to anything you’d like!
- Connect a wire starting from the Game Overlay device and ending at the Questioner device.
- Set it so that when the button is pressed, the question-answering screen is opened.
And that’s it! Now you can travel wherever on your map and answer questions from anywhere!
