Damage Agent Creative Device

Deal a set amount of damage to whoever activates a trigger. The Damage Agent Creative Device listens to a Trigger device and damages the player or NPC that fired it, so anything that can fire a trigger, a volume, a timer, a button, becomes a hazard or an instant elimination.

Perfect for: traps, kill zones, boss arenas, out-of-bounds penalties and testing tools.

What Problem It Solves

• Apply an exact damage amount from any trigger source without building a Damage Volume for each spot.
• Eliminate a player instantly: the default amount is 10,000,000, which no health or shield survives.
• Damage NPCs such as guards and creatures the same way as players.

How It Works

The device subscribes to the Trigger device's Triggered event. When it fires with a player or NPC, the device reads that character and applies Damage Amount to it. If the trigger fires without a character, nothing happens and a warning is written to the log so you can spot miswired devices.

Setup

1. Copy damage_agent.verse into your project's Verse folder.
2. Go to Verse > Build Verse Code so the device appears in the Content Browser.
3. Place the Damage Agent device in your island.
4. Assign a Trigger device to Damage Trigger and set Damage Amount.
5. Drive the trigger from any other device: a Volume when a player enters, a Timer, a Button.

Settings

• Damage Trigger: the Trigger device that starts the damage.
• Damage Amount: damage applied per activation, 10,000,000 by default.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Damage Agent device do?

Whenever the linked Trigger fires, the player or NPC that activated it takes the damage amount you set.

Can I use it to eliminate players instantly?

Yes. The default damage is 10,000,000, which eliminates anyone. Lower Damage Amount for a hazard that only hurts.

Does it work on NPCs?

Yes, as long as the trigger is activated by a character. If a device fires the trigger with no character involved, nothing happens.

How do I set it up?

Copy the file into your project, build Verse code, place the device, link a Trigger device and set Damage Amount. Drive the trigger with any other device, such as a volume or a timer.

Does it work in Creative 1.0?

No. It needs UEFN.
