Actions
If events are the “when” of your script, actions are the “do”. These are the blocks that make real things happen: move an object, teleport a player, play a sound, flip a sign. Snap them under an event and they run in order, top to bottom.
What is an action?
An action is a command. It tells your world to do one thing right now.
Think of a recipe. The event is the moment you decide to bake (“when the oven beeps”). The actions are the steps: crack the egg, stir the bowl, open the door. Each one is a single, concrete move.
Actions are stack blocks, the puzzle-piece shape with a bump on top and a notch on the bottom (Action). They snap together in a column, and your script runs them one after another.
A typical action block. It does one thing, here it plays a sound, then hands off to the block below it.
Actions are only half the picture. Most action blocks have slots you drop other blocks into: a number, a player, an object. Those droppable pieces are values, and they're explained in Values & types. A quick rule: stack blocks = verbs (do something), value blocks = nouns (a thing).
The kinds of action you'll find here
This page is the grab-bag of everyday “make it happen” blocks. They fall into a few loose families:
- Object actions: change an object's state, move it, rotate it, delete it, or
rewrite a sign.
is one you'll use a lot,
alongside 
, 
and 
. - Player actions:
someone somewhere,
them to a spawn point, turn them with
, or play a little animation like a wave or a
dance with 
. - Messages: pop up a toast (a small message that slides in and fades) with
, send a 
,
or show an on-screen 
. - Sound:
for one player, a group, or
everyone. - World look: set how bright the whole room is with
(so you can fake day and night), or 
and
to hide and show name tags.
Some action-flavoured blocks live on their own pages because there are so many of them:
- On-screen scoreboards, timers and health bars live on HUD blocks.
- Camera moves, screen flashes, fades, weather, confetti and NPC dialog live on Cinematic blocks.
- Spawning, walking and talking to NPCs live on the NPC blocks.
- Teleporting whole groups at once lives on the Players & Groups blocks.
This page is the plain, everyday toolkit.
A few things every beginner trips on
Actions fire top to bottom in the same blink. Slip a wait block between two of them when you need a real pause.
The blocks run top to bottom as fast as the room can manage. There is no pause between
them unless you add a 
(“wait”) block. So “move
the door, then play a creak” happens in the same blink. If you want a beat between two
actions, drop a wait in. See Timers, loops & waits.
A single run of a script can only do so much work before the engine calls it a day. A runaway script (say, a loop that never ends) is stopped automatically so it can't freeze your room. You won't hit it doing normal stuff, but it's good to know it exists. Details are in Publishing & limits.
The blocks
Every Action block is listed below with its picture, what it does, and the slots it takes.
Set Object State
ActionActionsInstantly switches an object into a named state, like making a door look open or a lamp look on.
Many objects can look or behave several different ways: a door can be open or closed, a lamp on or off. Each look is called a 'state'. This block snaps the object straight into the state you pick. Use it when you want an immediate change with no animation, for example opening a chest the moment a player clicks it.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
set object * | Object | The object whose state you want to change. | |
state to * | Text | state | The name of the state to switch the object into. By default this is a 'state' dropdown that lists the states this object actually supports. |
How it behaves
Takes an object and a state name, then switches the object into that state and waits for the change to apply before continuing. First it checks the object still exists and that the state is valid for the object's current rotation. If the object is gone or doesn't support that state, the action fails (stops with an error) instead of quietly doing nothing. The state name is trimmed to the maximum allowed length.
Watch out
If you type a state name the object doesn't have, the action fails. It does not fall back to a default.
The list of valid states can depend on the object's current rotation, so the same name may not work after you rotate it.
This is an instant snap, not a smooth animation.
Tips
Use the built-in 'state' dropdown rather than typing a name by hand; it only shows states the object really supports.
Pair it with 'When object is interacted with' to toggle things on click.
Examples
When object {a door} is interacted with → set object {the door} state to {"open"}Clicking the door immediately switches it to its open state.
Advance Object State
ActionActions
Moves an object to its next state by following a named transition, like stepping a traffic light from green to amber.
Some objects have built-in 'transitions' that connect their states together, like a path from 'closed' to 'opening' to 'open'. Instead of naming the exact state you want, this block follows a transition from wherever the object is now. It's great for objects that should step through states in order, like a multi-stage machine or a counter.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
advance object * | Object | The object you want to move to its next state. | |
transition * | Text | transition | The named transition (path) to follow from the current state. By default this is a 'transition' dropdown listing the transitions available right now. |
How it behaves
Takes an object and a transition name. It looks at the object's current state and the transitions leading out of it. If you name a transition, it follows that one; if you leave it blank, it follows the first available transition from the current state. It then checks the object can legally move into the next state and applies the change, waiting for it to apply. It fails if the object no longer exists, or if there's no valid transition out of the current state.
Watch out
It moves relative to the object's CURRENT state, not to a fixed state, so calling it twice steps forward twice.
If you leave the transition blank it uses the first available one, which may not be the one you expected.
If the current state has no outgoing transition (or the named one isn't valid), the action fails.
Tips
Use the 'transition' dropdown so you only pick transitions that exist.
Use this for things that cycle or step forward; use 'Set object state' when you want to jump to one specific look.
Examples
When object {the lever} is interacted with → advance object {the machine} transition {"next"}Each click follows the 'next' transition, stepping the machine to its following state.
Move Object
ActionActionsPicks up an object and drops it at a new x, y, z spot in the world, keeping the way it's facing.
Use this to teleport an object to a new position in the room. You give it a 3D location (x across, y up, z depth) and the object instantly appears there. It keeps its current rotation, so only the position changes. Handy for moving platforms, hiding props, or repositioning anything during your script.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
move object * | Object | The object you want to move. | |
to * | Position (X, Y, Z) | x 0 y 0 z 0 | The world position (x, y, z) to place the object at. Defaults to 0, 0, 0. |
How it behaves
Takes an object and an x/y/z location. It confirms the object still exists, then moves it to the new spot while keeping its current rotation, and waits for the move to apply. The move is instant (a snap, not a glide). Fails if the location isn't valid or the object no longer exists.
Watch out
It snaps instantly: there is no smooth sliding animation.
It keeps the object's existing rotation; use 'Rotate object' separately if you also want to turn it.
Coordinates are world positions, not offsets from where the object currently is.
Tips
Use the coordinate picker on the vector3 block to grab a real spot in your world instead of guessing numbers.
Combine with a wait and repeated moves to fake a slow-moving platform.
Examples
move object {the crate} to {x 999 y 0 z 999}The crate instantly jumps to a far-off position, effectively hiding it.
Rotate Object
ActionActions
Turns an object to face North, East, South, or West without moving it.
Use this to spin an object to face a new direction while keeping it in the same spot. You pick one of four compass directions. Great for pointing arrows, turning furniture, or aiming an object at a doorway.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
rotate object * | Object | The object you want to turn. | |
to * | Direction | North | The direction the object should face: North, East, South, or West. Defaults to North. |
How it behaves
Takes an object and a rotation, turning it into a compass direction. It confirms the object still exists, then turns it to face that way without letting it drift from its spot, and waits for the turn to apply. Fails if the rotation can't be understood or the object no longer exists.
Watch out
Only the four compass directions (North/East/South/West) are supported.
The turn is instant, not a smooth spin.
An unreadable rotation value causes the action to fail.
Tips
Keep a rotation value in a variable if you want to cycle an object through several facings.
Use the rotation dropdown so you always pick a valid direction.
Examples
rotate object {the arrow sign} to {East}Turns the arrow sign to face East while leaving it in place.

Delete Object
ActionActionsPermanently removes an object from the room.
Use this to make an object disappear from the world for good, like collecting a coin, breaking a crate, or clearing away a prop. Once deleted, the object is gone and its handle no longer points to anything.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
delete object * | Object | The object you want to remove from the world. |
How it behaves
Takes an object and confirms it still exists, then deletes it and waits for the change to apply. After this runs, the object is gone from the world. Fails if the object no longer exists.
Watch out
Deletion is permanent within the running script: the object is gone, not just hidden.
Any other blocks still holding that object's handle will fail because the object no longer exists.
If you only want it out of sight temporarily, use 'Move object' to push it away instead.
Tips
Double-check you're deleting the right object; there's no undo inside a script.
Trigger it from 'When object is interacted with' for collectibles that vanish on click.
Examples
When object {a coin} is interacted with → delete object {the coin}Clicking the coin removes it from the world, like picking it up.
Set Sign Text
ActionActionsChanges the words written on a sign object.
Use this to update what a sign says while your world is running. You could show a player's score, a welcome message, a countdown, or a hint. The sign updates for everyone in the room. Signs only fit a limited number of lines and characters, and only certain characters are allowed.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
set sign * | Object | The sign object you want to write on. | |
text * | Text | Hello | The words to show on the sign. Defaults to 'Hello'. |
How it behaves
Takes a sign object and some text. The text is cleaned up: it's cut to the sign's line limit, then to its character limit, and rejected if it contains characters the sign font can't display. If the text is valid, it's written to the sign and the script waits for the change to apply. Fails if the target isn't an object, the value isn't text, or the text has unsupported characters.
Watch out
Signs have a limited number of lines and characters; extra text is cut off.
Unusual symbols or emoji in the text can make the action fail because only supported characters are allowed.
This sets text only; use 'Set sign emoji' for the picture sign style.
Tips
Use the 'join text' / text blocks to build messages with live numbers, like a score counter.
Keep messages short so they fit within the sign's line limits.
Examples
set sign {the scoreboard} text {join "Score: " with {score}}Updates the scoreboard sign to show the current score whenever the script runs.

Set Sign Emoji
ActionActions
Shows a built-in picture icon (like a heart) on a sign.
Some signs can display a picture instead of words. This block sets which built-in icon a sign shows by name, such as 'heart'. Use it for decorative signs, status indicators, or simple emoji-style feedback. You must use one of the supported icon names, not arbitrary emoji.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
set sign * | Object | The sign object you want to show an icon on. | |
emoji * | Text | heart | The name of the built-in sign icon to display, for example 'heart'. Defaults to 'heart'. |
How it behaves
Takes a sign object and an icon name (text), trims spaces, and checks the name against the list of valid sign icons. If it matches, the icon is shown on the sign and the script waits for the change to apply. Fails if the target isn't an object, the value isn't text, or the icon name isn't a recognized sign icon.
Watch out
You must use a supported icon NAME (like 'heart'), not a typed-out emoji character.
An unknown icon name causes the action to fail.
Setting an emoji replaces the sign's text look, and vice versa.
Tips
Check the available sign icon names in the editor before typing one.
Use it as a quick on/off indicator by swapping between two icons.
Examples
set sign {the status sign} emoji {"heart"}Displays the heart icon on the chosen sign.

Set Global Illumination
ActionActionsInstantly sets how bright the whole room is, from pitch black to fully lit.
This block controls the overall brightness of the entire world's lighting. A value of 1 is full daylight and 0 is total darkness. Use it to flip between day and night, create a spooky blackout, or set the mood for a cutscene. The change happens instantly for everyone in the room.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
set global illumination * | Number | 1 | How bright the whole room is, from 0 (fully dark) to 1 (fully lit). Defaults to 1. |
How it behaves
Takes a number and keeps it within 0 to 1 (anything below 0 becomes 0, anything above 1 becomes 1). It sets the room's brightness to that level and waits for the change to apply. The change is instant. Fails only if the value isn't a number.
Watch out
Values are clamped to 0-1, so 2 acts the same as 1 and -5 acts the same as 0.
It snaps instantly; use 'Fade global illumination' for a smooth transition.
This affects the whole room's lighting, not a single object.
Tips
Use 0 for a sudden blackout and 1 to bring the lights back.
Drive the value from a variable to dim the room gradually over several script runs.
Examples
set global illumination {0}Plunges the entire world into darkness instantly.
Fade Global Illumination
ActionActions
Smoothly fades the room's brightness to a new level over a number of seconds.
Like 'Set global illumination', but instead of snapping it eases the brightness from where it is now to a new value over the time you choose. Use it for sunrises, sunsets, gentle dimming for a cutscene, or a slow fade to black. A value of 1 is full light and 0 is darkness.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
fade global illumination * | Number | 1 | The target brightness to fade to, from 0 (dark) to 1 (fully lit). Defaults to 1. |
over * | NumberWhole numberDuration | 2 | How long the fade should take, in seconds. Defaults to 2. |
How it behaves
Takes a target brightness and a number of seconds. It starts the room fading toward that brightness (kept within 0-1), and each player's screen handles the smooth fade over the chosen time. The script itself does NOT pause for the fade: it kicks off the fade and moves straight on to the next block. Fails if the target value isn't a number.
Watch out
The target value is clamped to 0-1, so anything above 1 or below 0 is treated as the limit.
The script does not pause for the full fade duration; it fires the fade and moves on.
Very short durations look almost identical to an instant set.
Tips
Use a few seconds for a believable sunrise or sunset feel.
Chain a fade to 0 then a fade to 1 with a wait in between for a blink-of-darkness effect.
Examples
fade global illumination {0} over {5} secondsGently darkens the whole room to black across five seconds.
Hide Name Tags
ActionActionsHides the floating name labels above every player in the room.
Normally each player has their name floating above their avatar. This block turns those name tags off for the whole room. Use it for cinematic moments, photo modes, or hide-and-seek style games where you don't want names giving people away.
How it behaves
Takes no inputs. It hides the floating name tags above every player in the room at once, and waits for the change to apply. Use 'Show name tags' to bring them back.
Watch out
This affects everyone in the room, not just one player.
Name tags stay hidden until something shows them again; they don't come back on their own.
Tips
Pair it with 'Show name tags' at the end of a cutscene so labels return afterwards.
Great for hide-and-seek or stealth games where names would spoil the hiding.
Examples
When room starts → hide name tags
Removes all floating names when the world loads for a cleaner, cinematic look.
Show Name Tags
ActionActionsBrings back the floating name labels above every player in the room.
This is the opposite of 'Hide name tags'. It turns the floating player names back on for the whole room. Use it to restore normal labels after a cutscene or after a round of a game where names were hidden.
How it behaves
Takes no inputs. It turns the floating name tags back on for every player in the room at once, and waits for the change to apply.
Watch out
This affects everyone in the room at once.
If name tags were never hidden, running this has no visible effect.
Tips
Call it at the end of a cinematic to undo a 'Hide name tags' earlier in the script.
Examples
(after cutscene) → show name tags
Turns floating player names back on once the cinematic moment is over.
Sound
ValueActionsSound
Picks a sound effect from your world's sound library so a 'play sound' block can play it.
This is a value block that holds one chosen sound effect. You pick a sound from a dropdown of the public sounds available in your world, then plug this block into the sound socket of a 'play sound' or 'play sound for' block. On its own it does nothing: it's the ingredient, not the action. Use it whenever you want to play a specific sound from your library.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
sound | sound |
How it behaves
Holds the sound you picked from the dropdown (its id and name). If you haven't chosen a public sound, the editor shows a 'Choose a public sound effect.' error and the script won't run until you pick one. Producing the value is instant and never pauses the script.
Watch out
On its own this block plays nothing; it only describes which sound to use. You must plug it into a 'play sound' or 'play sound for' block.
If you leave the dropdown empty (no sound chosen) the script gets an error and won't run until you pick a real, public sound.
Only sounds that are public/available in your world show up in the list.
Tips
Instead of this block you can also type a sound id directly into a 'play sound' block's text socket, but this dropdown is easier because it lists your real sounds.
Pick the sound once here and reuse the same block in several places by copying it.
Examples
When object {a button} is interacted with → play sound for {all players} sound {sound "ding"} at {(empty)}The sound block supplies the 'ding' effect, and the play-sound block actually plays it for everyone.

Teleport
ActionActionsInstantly moves a player to a chosen spot in your world.
Use this to teleport someone somewhere new in your world: a start pad, a secret room, a lobby, or anywhere you give it a position. You pick who to move and where. It happens immediately, with no walking animation. Great for game starts, doors, traps, and warps.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
teleport * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Who to move. Usually a single player (like the triggering player), but it also accepts a player group or a list of players, in which case everyone is moved. | |
to * | Position (X, Y, Z) | x:0 y:0 z:0 | The spot in the world to move the player to. Comes with a default position of 0,0,0 that you can change or replace with a position block. |
How it behaves
Takes a player and an x/y/z location. If that player is online, it moves them to the given spot, and the script waits for the move to apply before continuing. If you pass a group or list, everyone in it is teleported. The action fails (and the script stops with an error) if no valid player is given, the location is missing, or the player is not connected.
Watch out
If the player has disconnected, the block fails and stops the rest of the script; it does not silently skip them.
The default 0,0,0 location is the corner of the world; remember to set a real position or plug in a position block.
There is no movement animation; the player just appears at the destination.
Tips
Combine with a 'position of' block to teleport players to where an object currently is.
Use it inside a 'when player joins' event to drop new arrivals onto a spawn pad.
Examples
When object {a portal} is interacted with → teleport {the triggering player} to {position of the exit pad}Whoever clicks the portal is instantly moved to wherever the exit pad is.

Rotate
ActionActionsTurns a player to face a chosen compass direction (North, East, South, or West).
Use this to spin a player so their avatar faces a particular way. Handy for lining everyone up at a start line, making players look at something, or setting up a cutscene. You choose who to turn and which of the four directions they should face. It happens instantly.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
rotate * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Who to turn. A single player, a player group, or a list of players; everyone provided gets turned. | |
to * | Direction | North | Which direction to face: North, East, South, or West. Comes set to North by default. |
How it behaves
Takes a player and a rotation, turning the rotation into one of the four compass directions (north/east/south/west). If the player is online, it turns them to face that way, and the script waits for the turn to apply before continuing. If you pass a group or list, everyone in it is turned. The action fails (stopping the script) if the rotation is invalid, no valid player is given, or the player is not connected.
Watch out
Only the four compass directions are supported; you cannot set an exact angle.
If the player has disconnected the block fails and stops the script.
This only changes which way they face; it does not move them.
Tips
Pair it with a teleport block to drop players at a start pad already facing the right way.
Use it in a cutscene to make everyone look toward the action.
Examples
When round starts → rotate {all players} to NorthEveryone is turned to face north so they all start a race pointing the same way.

Respawn
ActionActionsSends a player back to a spawn point in your world.
Use this to respawn someone, moving them to one of your world's spawn points, like restarting a level or recovering from a trap. You pick who to respawn. It happens instantly. This is different from teleport because it uses your world's built-in spawn locations rather than a position you give.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
respawn * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Who to send back to a spawn point. A single player, a player group, or a list of players. |
How it behaves
Takes a player and sends them back to one of your world's spawn points; the script waits for the move to apply before continuing. If you pass a group or list, each player who can be respawned is moved. The action fails (stopping the script) if no valid player is given, or the player can't be respawned.
Watch out
Where the player lands is decided by your world's spawn points, not by you; use teleport if you need an exact spot.
If a respawn operation cannot be created for the player, the block fails and stops the script.
Tips
Great for resetting players between rounds of a game.
Combine with a trap area: 'when player enters area → respawn the triggering player' to bounce people out of a danger zone.
Examples
When player enters area {the lava pit} → respawn {the triggering player}Anyone who steps into the lava pit area is immediately sent back to a spawn point.

Show Toast
ActionActionsPops up a short message on a player's screen.
Use this to show a quick on-screen message (a 'toast') to one or more players, like "You found the key!" or "Wrong way!". You pick who sees it and what it says. It appears briefly on their screen. Perfect for hints, feedback, and small announcements.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
show toast to * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Who should see the toast. A single player, a player group, or a list of players. | |
text * | Text | Hi! | The message to show. Comes pre-filled with "Hi!" which you can change. |
How it behaves
Takes an audience and some text. The text is cleaned up and trimmed to the maximum length, then shown to every online player in the audience. The script does not wait on anything (it just sends a screen message), so it continues immediately. The action fails (stopping the script) if the text is missing or none of the targeted players are online. Note: although the block label says "show toast to" one player, it also accepts groups and lists.
Watch out
Long messages are trimmed to a maximum length.
If none of the targeted players are connected, the block fails and stops the script.
A toast is brief and disappears on its own; use 'notify' or a HUD block if you need something that stays longer.
Tips
Use it for instant feedback right when something happens, like clicking the right object.
Combine a 'join text' block to include the player's name or a score in the message.
Examples
When object {a button} is interacted with → show toast to {the triggering player} text "Nice click!"The person who clicked the button sees a quick 'Nice click!' message on their screen.
Notify
ActionActionsShows a notification message to a player.
Use this to send a player an on-screen notification, a heads-up message like "The boss is coming!". You pick who sees it and what it says. It behaves just like a toast: a short message that pops up on their screen. Use it for alerts and important moments.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
notify * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Who to notify. A single player, a player group, or a list of players. | |
text * | Text | Heads up! | The message to show. Comes pre-filled with "Heads up!" which you can change. |
How it behaves
Right now this does exactly the same thing as 'Show toast': the text is cleaned up, trimmed to the maximum length, and shown to every online player in the audience. The script continues immediately (there's nothing to wait on). The action fails (stopping the script) if the text is missing or none of the targeted players are online. The block label reads "notify" one player, but it also accepts groups and lists.
Watch out
Right now 'notify' and 'show toast' do the same thing on screen; they share the same underlying behavior.
Long messages are trimmed to a maximum length.
If no targeted player is connected, the block fails and stops the script.
Tips
Pick 'notify' or 'toast' based on whichever wording reads more clearly in your script; they behave the same.
Send to 'all players' to make a world-wide announcement.
Examples
When round timer hits 0 → notify {all players} text "Round over!"Every player in the world gets a 'Round over!' message when the timer runs out.

Play Sound For
ActionActionsPlays a sound effect, but only for the players you choose.
Use this to play a sound just for certain players instead of the whole world, for example only the person who clicked something, or everyone on one team. You pick the audience, the sound, and optionally a position so the sound feels like it comes from a spot in the world. This is the sound block shown in the toolbox, because it lets you choose who hears it.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
play sound for * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | all players | Who should hear the sound. A single player, a player group, or a list of players. Comes pre-filled with 'all players'. |
sound * | SoundText | (default) | Which sound to play. Plug in a 'sound' block (recommended) or type a sound id as text. Comes with an empty sound block you should fill in. |
at * | Position (X, Y, Z) | x:0 y:0 z:0 | Where in the world the sound comes from, for distance-based volume. Comes with a default 0,0,0 position; leave it empty for a non-positional sound. |
How it behaves
Takes an audience, a sound, and an optional location. It narrows the audience to the online human players in it (dropping duplicates and anyone offline) and plays the sound for each of them. If you give a location, the sound comes from that spot; otherwise it plays everywhere for them. It doesn't wait on anything, so the script continues immediately. The action fails (stopping the script) if no valid sound is supplied, or if none of the chosen players are online.
Watch out
If none of the chosen players are connected, the block fails and stops the script.
If the sound can't be resolved, the block fails and stops the script.
Defaults to 'all players', so remember to change the audience if you only want some players to hear it.
Tips
Plug in 'the triggering player' to play a private sound only for whoever set off the event.
Give it a position to make the sound seem to come from a particular object or place.
Examples
When object {a coin} is interacted with → play sound for {the triggering player} sound {sound "coin"} at {(empty)}Only the player who grabbed the coin hears the coin sound; nobody else does.

Set Emote
ActionActionsMakes a player do an emote (like a wave or dance), chosen by its number.
Use this to make a player play an emote animation (a wave, a dance, a cheer, and so on) by giving its emote number. You pick who does it and which emote number to use. Setting the number to 0 clears their current emote. Great for celebrations, taunts, and cutscenes.
Inputs & fields
| Slot | Accepts | Default | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
set emote for * | PlayerGroup of playersPlayer list | Whose emote to set. A single player, a player group, or a list of players. | |
to * | NumberWhole number | 1 | The emote number to play. Comes set to 1. Use 0 (or a number that isn't a real emote) to clear the current emote. |
How it behaves
Takes a player and an emote number (rounded to a whole number). It narrows the audience to the online players in it (dropping anyone offline), then for each one: if the number is greater than 0 it plays that emote, otherwise it clears whatever emote they're doing. The script waits for the change to apply before continuing. If you pass a group or list, everyone in it gets the emote. The action fails (stopping the script) if none of the chosen players are online.
Watch out
Emotes are referenced by number, not name, so you need to know which number is which emote in your world.
An emote id of 0 (or any non-positive number) clears the player's emote instead of playing one.
The number is rounded to a whole number, so 1.7 becomes 2.
Tips
Set the emote to 0 to stop/clear an emote a player is doing.
Use it on 'all players' for a synchronized group dance or cheer at the end of a round.
Examples
When round ends → set players emote {all players} to 5Every player plays emote number 5 (for example a cheer) the moment the round ends.
Show Countdown
ActionActionsShows a big dramatic countdown (like 3... 2... 1...) on players' screens.
Use this to put a big, dramatic countdown on screen, perfect for starting a race or a round ("Get ready... 3, 2, 1, Go!"). You choose who sees it, a short label above the numbers, and how many seconds to count down from. The countdown plays as a screen effect for the players you pick.

How it behaves
Takes an audience, a label, and a number of seconds. It narrows the audience to the online human players in it, then shows each of them a big dramatic countdown. The label is trimmed to 80 characters, and the seconds value is rounded to a whole number and kept between 1 and 30. It's a screen effect, so the script continues immediately; it does NOT pause for the countdown to finish. The action fails (stopping the script) if none of the chosen players are online.
Watch out
The script does not wait for the countdown to finish; the next blocks run right away. If you want to act when it ends, add a 'wait' block for the same number of seconds.
Seconds are limited to 1 through 30; anything outside that range is clamped.
If no targeted player is connected, the block fails and stops the script.
The label is cut to 80 characters if it's longer.
Tips
Pair it with a 'wait N seconds' block matching the countdown, then start your game right after so the timing lines up.
Send it to 'all players' so everyone starts at the same moment.
Examples
When round starts → show countdown to {all players} label "Get ready" seconds 3 → wait 3 seconds → teleport players {all players} to {position of the start line}Everyone sees a 3-second 'Get ready' countdown, the script waits those 3 seconds, then the race begins.
