wiring items to add that would be insanely helpful and useful

[quiet stirrup]

i swear i used to have 3 ideas but i forgot one so heres two

new variable blocks: variable increment and decrement

these would add/subtract a specific value
i HATE having to use a ton of defines to increase on variable by only 1, and a map im owrking on uses alot of variables so
yea

laser blocks: laser, laser reciever

the laser would send a beam that goes until it hits a block, and when the laser reciever recieved a laser it would output a signal
the lasers would also be color corrdinated (only recievers can recieve a specific color laser and could reflect off a new mirror block or sum

had these in my mind for a while and just wanted to say them

[somber dragon]

hmm

[quiet stirrup]

also for the increment and decrement blocks you could input a number

lets go axolotl saw this

[somber dragon]

can the laser detect players?
or can it only detect the receiver?

[covert plover]

I technically am also an axolotl

[quiet stirrup]

the laser would just be a beam of light and anything in the path can either block OR reflecet if they added some kind of mirror or used glass

they could either make it hit players or not, or make a specifc gamerule for it

the reciever is the only thing that can detect lasers

and the laser would constantly output a signal, or have a wiring input in the back

ill make a better image

boost

[civic kernel]

you dont have to use a tonn of defines for +1, on the variable block thing with the number on it theres a green blue and red port

red makes it 0

green adds 1

blue subtravts one

[quiet stirrup]

yea

thats what i said

if you read it you would know why i would add it

[swift epoch]

You have to use defines.

[civic kernel]

Yes but only one

They’re acting as if you have to take up your whole map

It’s the same block size

[fluid silo]

cool

[swift epoch]

You do

[quiet stirrup]

???

to add say 20 to one variable, that requires 20 defines

a variable increment would be way easier as thats just 1 block

yea you could make a system to add 20

but im not doing that

evil bacon do you even know what incrementing is

[swift epoch]

Wait cant you just

Button Twire or +wire and T wire variable+1
Other variable -1
Cwire wire cwire othervariable greater than (0)

[quiet stirrup]

yea but that also takes a lot of time

[gritty raven]

this is really cool

[sour tapir]

I definatly agree with the first one, but not sure about the laser. I suppose it could be useful for long range wires decreasing block count, but we already have transmitters and recivers for that, so I don’t see the real application of the lasers

I suppose they could be cool, but thats not a great reason for them

[swift epoch]

Color channels are very limited

[sour tapir]

Theres at least 20

Thats enough to make a solid amount of things, doubled with variables now being a thing

[swift epoch]

As i said, not enough to waste like that

[sour tapir]

Theres enough to make 3 arcade games in one world

[swift epoch]

What were the games

[sour tapir]

puts on sunglasses you couldn’t possibly know unless you checked out my community world, but I mean simplistic, not too complex games

But still games nontheless

[swift epoch]

Well theres your problem

Simple things simple solutions

[sour tapir]

I think I could’ve made more complex arcade games with more color options rather than needing more transmitters

A multi-color screen display would be more useful

[swift epoch]

Not the point here though

[sour tapir]

True
