Adding Heartbeat Visual Effects To Players

This section will show you how to add custom heartbeat VFX (visual effect) to your gameplay that gives away an unmoving prop’s location.

When players of the prop team are idle for too long, a heartbeat visual effect plays on that player, notifying the hunter team. This visual effect is registered to each player of the prop team as they spawn into the game.

You’ll use VFX Spawner devices along with Verse to implement the heartbeat functionality. This includes:

• Activating the visual effects.
• Teleporting the VFX Spawner to the players.
• Creating a UI showing members of the prop team how long they have left to move before the heartbeat goes off.

This tutorial includes Verse snippets that show how to execute gameplay mechanics needed in this game. Follow the steps below and copy the full script on step 6 of this tutorial.
