so im almost done with my minigame/map, but i need help...

I'm not quite sure what your asking here, are you telling us that you need the Boulder to behave the way you're describing? Or does it already act that way and you need it to perform differently?

 

Hey, @Dash IV

The Ball object would be the key here. It has to determine if a player is holding it or not.

• Use a Cylinder boundary with Radius=0.25, Top=3.75, Bottom=0.00 (Bottom might be 0.50... test to be sure)
• When it's held, you need to mark the boulder and either the player or ball. You can use labels or numbers. I like using numbers.
• A move script can make the boulder hover over the player or ball by setting TARGETS to one of them, set Local=Off, and use a Z offset like 10.00 or so. Maybe more like 20.00?

Ball Script:

Code:

Condition: Timer Check, Initial=1.00, Repeat=0.20
(or use Round Time, Time=0.20, Periodic=On)
A1: Number Change: Scope=Object, NUMBER=[THIS add], Set, Object Count,
    COUNT=[Boundary THIS add, Players include, Dead exclude, Select Random 1], Value=10
A2: Number Change: Scope=Player, NUMBER=[Players add, Number include 11],
    Channel=alpha, Set, Constant 0
A3: Number Change: Scope=Player, NUMBER=[Boundary THIS add, Players include, Dead exclude],
    Channel=alpha, Set, Source=Number, Scope=Object, Object=THIS, Number=Object, Value=0
A4: Number Change: Scope=Object, NUMBER=[Boulder], Set,
    Source=Number, Scope=Object, Object=THIS, Number=Object, Value=0

This script fires every 0.20 seconds and has the Ball mark both a player (who has the ball) and the [Boulder] by setting their filterable numbers to 11 (alpha is the only player number that gets filtered). If no player is holding the Ball, then the Ball and [Boulder] have their numbers set to 10 and no player has their alpha number set to 11.

• A1: Puts the count of players holding the ball (alive players inside the ball's boundary) into the Ball's object number + 10. The 10 is to make it unique for this ball & boulder and not use 0. The number will be 10 when not held or 11 when held. If there are more balls/boulders, use a different set of numbers like 12/13, 14/15, etc.
• A2: For any player who had previously held the ball (their alpha number is 11), reset their alpha number to 0.
• A3: For any players inside the ball's boundary, set their alpha number to the ball's number (you could make it the constant 11, but using the ball's number will always work if you change the number).
• A4: Set the [Boulder's] number to the ball's number. Add a label or use other settings to be able to uniquely filter the [Boulder] that goes with this ball. Now [Boulder] will have its number be 11 when it needs to follow a player.

Now the boulder can follow the player who has the ball (when their numbers are set to 11), or not do anything (when its number is 10). As long as the ball sets the same number for both the player and boulder, the boulder will only chase the player holding the ball, and won't fly upward when no one has the ball.

Code:

Condition: Timer Check, Initial=1.00, Repeat=0.05
(or use Round Time, Time=0.10, Periodic=On)
A1: Move Offset: OBJECTS=[THIS add (or filter Boulder), Number include 11],
    TARGETS=[Players add, Number include 11], XYZ=0.0/0.0/20.0, Local=Off, Time=0.20

That should be pretty close to getting this to work. Haven't tested these exact scripts so see if you can get it working. Come back if you need more help.

 

You can add a label to the boulder to make it easy to filter. Add user:bravo to the boulder's Game Mode Labels. The change NUMBER=[Boulder] to NUMBER=[Label add: user:bravo].

Oh yeah, the Objects option only does up for some conditions. For Timer Check it doesn't show up and the actions use THIS by default, so you don't have to worry about it.
