Confounded Combinator

[inland iron]

My combinator is supposed to have an output if given no input, why isnt it working as expected?

[hard comet]

You don't have any output set

[inland iron]

The right side of the panel shows otherwise

Its the COPY symbol

[frigid tapir]

Read the red asterisk signal specifically

It has a line about when it receives nothing

[inland iron]

True when no input, as expected. So why no output?

[dire temple]

is it something with the copy signal specifically maybe? try a normal output signal instead?

i doubt that'd be the solution but it's worth a try

[inland iron]

Ive tried ✅ , no change. Ive tried removing the second condition, I get my output

[frigid tapir]

Is it potentially something flickering very fast? Maybe try in /editor mode and pause. And move forward 1 tick a time?

i suspect it's some weird combo of the and interacting with eachother

as a workaround, try the opposite of the conditions.
if red =/= 0 AND red = green, then output a signal.

oh wait i know the reason! i had this trouble before.
every condition with the symbol must be true for the combinator to output anything at all, even when a OR should bypass the condition. I think it says something like that in the description of .

give it a try, replace your first condition with something like = 0 and it should still refuse to output anything

so the workaround i posted is your best bet, I think

[inland iron]

Not only does that not output anything, negating the conditions means I need to re-negate it afterwards

[dire temple]

or have your subsequent combinators read 'if [copy] = 0'

[inland iron]

It would be easier to split the conditions into two decider combinators
