Bowser's Big Blast

Description
Recreation of the fan favorite Mario Party minigame.
Plays slightly differently in that the 5 colored switches are all reset on each player explosion, as opposed to how in Mario Party the amount of switches reduces after each explosion.

Players take turns in a Russian roulette style game where one of the five colored switches on stage will explode the player into elimination!
  • Supports up to 8 players (including AI)
  • Only the active player on stage can move
  • The game will auto select the nearest switch for AI/AFK/undecisive players after a period of time (via the descending laser scanner)
  • Already activated switches cannot be activated twice
  • If the game auto selects a switch that has been already activated, the player will be eliminated
  • The five switches only reset after the rigged switch has been activated

Note: There are many complicated events and triggers in place to make this minigame work. As a result, there may be unintended behaviors or issues that occur. For best results, stand clearly in front of your switch and hit/punch it once before the descending scanner reaches you (to avoid the game auto selecting for you).

So the player got stuck on the bottom floor against the wall between the green and yellow switch? Or were they stuck under the switches so that you could not see this player? (inside the wall or in front of it?)

Was this the 7th/last player or one of the first six players? Bot or real player?

Did this player spawn there right away at the start? How did they get there?

As many details as possible would help figure out what's causing the issue.

Just played had the same situation as Ricohet, but with 7 players one of our player was stuck inside of the wall on the bottom side of where the yellow and green switches and could not move, he didn't take a single turn and automatically won

Have any more details? How exactly did they not go?
If you tried the game again, did the same thing happen?

Updated this mod - please see change notes for full details.

Update should address some issues and make it more clear when the auto selection process triggers (via the new descending laser scanner).

Black player at 15:21:

Player couldn't decide in time, and the game has an automatic switch selection when a player cannot decide after ~10 seconds. The auto selection picks the nearest switch to the player, which was green, but the player also hit the yellow switch at the exact same time. When the auto selection picks a switch that was already triggered (green switch), it will kill the player. Since 2 switches were triggered, it triggered the queue to move twice. That is how green and pink were both on stage at same time.


I will work on an update to see what I can do!

Thank you for the clip, that really helps! Here's what I think happened:


Purple player at start:

When the minigame starts, it sets player speed to zero. I believe the game sometimes accepts input during the action events of the minigame triggers. Purple was probably moving as the game started/loaded, so it preserved his momentum and caused him to slide off. This is a bug I noticed in testing but only on stage, not on floor. (I test with bots which don't move when on the floor).

That's bizarre... do you have any more details? How exactly did the previous winner not get selected to play?

Sounds like possibly a network or sync issue if this was an online match.

Just played a game where the last person that came in first in the previous mini game didn't even get selected to play
