210 Tips

# Tips *How tips work* The [[guide editor]] allows you to create your own [[live guides]] that you can use and share on Zar and with your community. [[Live guides]] are bundles of hundreds of smart Tips. ![[Pasted image 20220801160635.png]] ## The basics --- Guide creators help players learn simple concepts as advanced strategies seamlessly, as they play. The [[Live guides|live guide]] provides players with your expertise through in-context advice, when they face real situations, so it's fun to learn, and easy to remember. When players use your [[live guides]], they receive [[210 Tips|tips]] on top of their screen, in the following format: 1. [[Main advice and Explanations|Main advice]] 2. [[Main advice and Explanations|Explanations]] 3. Category 4. Your username >[!example] Best practices when writing tips > - Use simple words and short sentences. Don't try to hit the [[Main advice and Explanations|word limit]] in every tip. > - Use the 1st part of a tip ([[Main advice and Explanations|main advice]]) for the most important and actionable information - not for title or not usable info. Players read the first sentence, but not always what's written in the [[Main advice and Explanations|explanation]]. > - Correct your texts with [free tools](https://app.grammarly.com/). > - Use the exact and correct [name for items](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Item_(League_of_Legends)). > - Use the letter from the keyboard when you mention spells (Q,W,E,R). Don't use the spell name. > - Use colors to emphasize words. But don't draw rainbows. > - Use background colors with one color per topic. Don't use multiple ones for the same topic. ## How is a tip built? --- When you create a [[210 Tips|tip]], you must fill different fields. ### The required Scenario It's the main part of a [[210 Tips|tip]]. It is composed of three key elements. 1. The [[triggers]]: describe when the [[210 Tips|tip]] should be displayed in-game. Add different [[triggers]] with the **+ AND** button. -> [[Templates, Select , and Search|The three methods to add triggers in your tips]] > [!warning] All the [[triggers]] must be valid at the same time in-game for the [[210 Tips|tip]] to be displayed. 2. The [[Main advice and Explanations|main advice]]: the most important information of your [[210 Tips|tip]] (don't use this field as title of your tip, such as "Matchup tip"). 3. The [[Main advice and Explanations|explanations]]: to explain and support the main advice, and give more details. >[!warning] >These fields are mandatory. Use clear and concise sentences. Users are playing the game when they receive your tips, so they won't read long texts. ### The Optional scenario Only available in the [[250 Custom|custom]] tab, it is used to add more possibilities to one tip. It acts as an **OR** function. -> [[Optional scenario (OR function)|How to use the optional scenario]] ## Where and when do players receive the tips? --- Players receive Tips in two different locations while they play: in the [[default view]] and in the [[tab view]]. A [[210 Tips|tip]] is displayed in the [[default view]] as soon as all the [[triggers]] in the **required [[scenarios|scenario]]** are met. It remains displayed in this view for: - *20 seconds* minimum if another [[210 Tips|tip]] is valid and should be displayed in this view. The oldest one is replaced by the newest one. - *60 seconds* maximum otherwise. A [[210 Tips|tip]] is displayed in the [[tab view]] as soon as it is displayed in the [[default view]]. It remains displayed in this view: - Until the [[triggers]] in the **required [[scenarios|scenario]]** are not valid anymore - OR, until this scenario happens: 1. There are 3 tips in the [[tab view]] 2. The [[210 Tips|tip]] is the oldest one (the first that entered the [[tab view]] among the three [[210 Tips|tips]] displayed) 3. A fourth one enters the [[tab view]] >[!question] Can [[210 Tips|tips]] be displayed more than one time in the same game? > No. A [[210 Tips|tip]] can appear only one time per game in both views. Once it disappears from both views, it is _consumed_ and cannot be displayed again. It avoids spamming the player when the [[triggers]] are met multiple times in a single game. ---- 👉Next: [[220 Matchups and Synergies|Creating tips for specific matchups and synergies]] ---- #### Links to this page - [[Start here]] - [[Become a creator]] - [[Champion group]] - [[Triggers]] - [[250 Custom|Custom]] - [[Default view]] - [[180 Dos and Don'ts|Dos and Don'ts]] - [[Duplicate tips]] - [[Guide Editor]] - [[Guide preview]] - [[120 How to market your Live Guides|How to market your Live Guides]] - [[230 Items & Abilities|Items & Abilities]] - [[240 Jungle|Jungle]] - [[Lessons]] - [[Live guides]] - [[Main advice and Explanations]] - [[220 Matchups and Synergies|Matchups and Synergies]] - [[Optional scenario (OR function)]] - [[Sell your Live Guides]] - [[Zar Partners Program]] - [[Tab view]] - [[Templates, Select , and Search]] - [[200 The basics|The Basics]] - [[Tip styling]] - [[Trigger template]] - [[Scenarios]]
