#[0.1.1] Filter gates not filtering

I've been experiencing this issue for the past two hours, across 19 platforms that contain over 50 filter gates. I'm seeing many instances of them not sending shapes down the "off" path. I've attached a screenshot of one example where I'd expect to see the shapes being dumped into the void. I can replace the trash block with a belt, but it still doesn't filter.

if the signal on the wire is null then that's the expected behavior for it to block shapes

Are you sure? That doesn't seem quite right. null signals or no signal shouldn't block, and doesn't usually.

It's explicitly stated in the knowledge base that null will cause the belt filter to block all shapes

#

Anything else that is falsy will cause it to always go to the false direction, anything truthy other than shapes will cause it to go in the true direction, and a shape signal will have it go in different directions depending on whether the shape matches or not

Oh interesting

ikr surprised me

seems logical to me, i.e. it's also not an "intended" signal like null when you do regular logic

Ok thanks guys, I actually hadn't realised that the gates that are working are actually on a 0 signal not null

#

Now that's making sense, thank you for setting me straight

That's actually a pretty neat trick, it'll be a cleaner looking setup than adding gates everywhere to convert null to 0 although it'll probably be confusing to look at and work out how it's working... I guess also it runs the risk of being patched out.

Thank you for your report! 😄

From what I read on this post the functionality seems to be correct as it is following the logic on this photo attached

Please comment if any of the observed functionalities don't match this table 🙂
