How to make something run constantly?

[crisp fjord]

Hey, I need some help powering a lot of ambience for my map like emitters, music, animations etc

How can I make it so they are always running, without an input?

The only way I can think of is a 30hz event receiver

30hz receiver

Whenever you finish the loop of things you want execute. You run the circuits again

[crisp fjord]

What is that 😳

I got an event receiver in the room

How do I make it work lmao

[paper rampart]

configure it and change it to 30hz

[crisp fjord]

Oh is it that simple?

[paper rampart]

Yes that will fire 30 times per second, basically instantly

[crisp fjord]

I’m my

Oh my*

That didn’t work too well

The net blew up with 1 emitter

I’m doing something wrong

When I placed a second emitter, the net was too large and nothing worked

@paper rampart

Thanks so much for the help btw

[crisp fjord]

That might work

When problem solving, try to remember the acronym KISS

Keep It Simple, Stupid

[crisp fjord]

Damn 🤣

[paper rampart]

yeah only need to execute once for emitters

[crisp fjord]

Ik, but idk how to make it do that

I’m new to CV2

Like

Very very new

[paper rampart]

use a button or trigger volume to activate it once

I’d recommend using trigger volume

Also wire the player entered port to start on the emitter

[crisp fjord]

hello

[slender hill]

Configure the event receiver to be room loaded then on then add a delay of 1 sec on to the emmiter then loop after delay to start also hook up the event receiver to start

[crisp fjord]

...

one sec lemme re-read that

um

yk

i might just

end up doing this

[crisp fjord]

.

ill just loop it around

till everything works

lmao

[calm condor]

This would only fire for RA, and if you have a RA flip, this breaks

[crisp fjord]

rawr

no but

whats

a

RA

[calm condor]

Room Authority

[crisp fjord]

oh right

i shoulda known that one

[crisp fjord]

@calm condor i followed your advice

and it worked

:D

wires are all over the place lmao

[calm condor]

Kiss saves lives bro

We forget it more often than we remember it.

😉

[paper rampart]

💋

[crisp fjord]

added a few delay chips- its even worse 🤣

ngl

getting cv2 right

is SO SATISFYING

[calm condor]

Isn’t it?

Next time, organize everything onto a single plane. (Sometimes on a flat wall) will help immensely when troubleshooting

[paper rampart]

ikr

[crisp fjord]

right, i really do need to clean it up a bit 💀

[warm meadow]

@crisp fjord be careful with 30Hz event receivers, they can break rooms if you wire it to the wrong things, and also you can only have one of them in your room or else it will break

[crisp fjord]

I decided to do it like this instead, seemed simpler and more effective tbh
