Summary

Am creating a duo scrims map that require the setting last man standing to be on

For the players to select team they should load into an area made for team selection but the problem is when players spawn they are all automatically spawned in team 1 which triggers the last man standing mechanism and ends the game immediately is there a way for me to not make them all spawn in the same time i tried using a round setting device that gets enabled after 30 seconds which is enough for 1 player to change his team so the last man standing mechanism doesnt acitvate but it still didnt work

i tried using zone mutator to spawn players in different teams but it wasnt enough

Steps to Reproduce

Turn on last man standing mechanism and join with a freind or someone else the game auto starts

Expected Result

For all players not to spawn in the same time

Observed Result

game ends immediately after starting

Platform(s)

windows

The Last Man Standing setting has a few logic problems,

Try using player counter devices for each team, that way you can enable the counters any time. have them connected to an end game device to end the rounds when either counter hits 0.
If your using multiple teams you can count the counters hitting 0 with a tracker, which ends the round when complete.

Yo i understood what u meant but how do i make it that the tracker knows that only 1 team is left i have 8 teams on my map how do i make it that if 7 counters hit 0 then the game ends

am sorry for taking off your time

Set the tracker to track events, target 7 (8 teams minus winner) , increment on counter success, reset every round, then have an end game device set to end round, activated by trackers completion

This video is the solution I’ve used for all instances where I need a “last man standing ends round” win condition.

Looks like it’s the same or similar solution @Hardcawcanary is suggesting, just in video tutorial format. Can confirm it works.

The problem you’re having has been around for a long time, way too long imo. Not sure why they haven’t fixed it because they’ve got to know it exists by now.

@Hardcawcanary and @fabianicreative

Very helpful! The island’s settings device has a setting that ends the game, but not the round. I didn’t expect it to be that complex. Thanks again for your help!

@Hardcawcanary

You should make a tutorial or showcase for this…it would help a lot of people!

I tried to get this way to work on my map but theres bugs that i can’t figure out. Since people start the game as team 1 that player counter bugs out. But i can not solve the issue by not using a team 1 because then the whole setup stops working. For my case i have 4 teams to choose from, team 1, team 2, team 3 and team 4. But if i change it to choose from team 2-3-4-5 instead everything stops working. Seems like there has to be a team 1 for the game to work properly? But the team 1 is whats causing the problem from the beginning so idk how this could be fixed.

Hey KKG Edison,

I think team 1 is a bit “special”, can’t quite put my finger on it but seems like it has to be used…
and maybe with Dynamic on, not sure, but joining players could be defaulting to 1 ???

If your players get to choose teams, maybe have team 1 as the default lobby, pre choose and joining player team, and 2,3,4 & 5 as the combat teams, so set to 5 teams and dynamic team size.

I have a newer team based last man standing text than the one posted above, I don’t think I’ve considered the team 1 default team in it yet, may need to work that into it.

I’ll post it and see if I can get my head around it again. its a bit more complex, but let me know if you can make sense of it, and then we can work out how to implement the team 1 lobby team if needed and call it Last Team Standing, 4 teams + 1 lobby team.
