Hello 👋 I've been trying to make an electric Billboard go through 4 images and trying on my own i managed to do it by making power circle around and using 1 image at a time however it would stop working after leaving the game needing to again press the button

I tried to follow some tutorials i found but non seemed to work.. i simply need a billboard that'd go through 4 image's (AND would stay on each image for some time for example 7 second's, not quite trying to make a Gif) it would also be highly appreciated if the design could be expanded on more Images without issues since I've seen some tutorials that only work with a set ammount of Images no more... i uh do kinda want to make other billboards randomly go through 100+ different images in the future..

Anyone knows how to make a billboard go through images that'd work all the time even if i leave and rejoin the game?

i can possibly help you

#

i would need to see the current design to decide on any fixes tho

Sure, I'll give an screenshot tomorrow since I'm going sleep in a moment. (I'll also make it more visible Bcs currently the logic is just 1 spaghetti all wires same color lol)

tranquil roost i am available rn

Hey I'll give an image soon im not home atm, you don't have to do it today tho if it's to late later on, I don't mind waiting 🙂

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

ill be available for the next 6ish hours

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

O alrighty 👍 in like an Hour I'll be home. I would have had done the Current logic better when i was home earlier but i got to lost in trying to make an old mobile game work before leaving xd in which i succeeded lol. When I'm back I'll make the Logic more readable on img and I'll send it 👍

unless it is wire spaghetti i will be able to read it

tranquil roost unless it is wire spaghetti i will be able to read it

So Bassiclly what happens Here is that when clicking the button a Singal Energy goes to the Sustainer and Delay, the Sustainer goes to the Relay where The Image Id is set with the Num Interface letting the Image sit there for my desired time, Bot hThe sustainer and Delay have the same timing meaning when the Delay activates the first image dies out and the 2nd can appear. and well that process repeats reverting back to the First Image Sequence through that Green Wire which makes the Signal Circle arround the whole thing.

What saddly happens tho is when leaving the game and returning the Energy in the circle vanishes requiering me to Push the button again and well i do kinda want it to always work without me needing to activate it each time i start playing xd what also happened twice is that after sometime the Signal vanished on it's own aswell while playing i don't know what caused that to happen if either going to far away caused the Signal to vanish or if something else caused it to happen but when sitting now next to the billboard it seems to work. this is all that i could figure out on my own idk if there's a better way of doing this even (since trying other designs for some reason did not even show the images) all i know is well there has to be something that'll always give Signal (prob a Switch) and somehow still have the Circle work since if there's cosnatnt singal it will stop working after the 1st Image. or just a better design overall lol idk what to do here xd

(but ye this also allow's me to add any ammount of Images to a billboard by just replicating the Sustainer/Delay Thingy)

#

the button is meant to also be connected to that First Sustainer that has the green wire going into the Relay i just forgor to do that when makign this more readable on img xd

#

i do have an idea

#

lemme pull out paint

#

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:08 PM

#

I'll try that 🤔 i assume this goes in replacement of the button right?

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

yes

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

Alrighty 👍 I'll let you know if it works 👍

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

tranquil roost yes

So it did work, however after rejoining the Thingy doesn't work, not with the Signal vanishing just uh it doesn't want to leave the Blocker annnnd I can't make it work again ;-;

#

When cutting off the Flip Flop the power dose go through the Blocker but ye constantly goes through 😅

Unless im supposed to set the Frequency on a different number than 1?

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

no, i think i know why it did not work as expected

#

the best option now is a flip flop from first principals

#

hold

#

replace the flip flop with this

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

Alrighty 👍

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:31 PM

#

if there are NAND gates, use them instead of the and and the not

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

There's a Xand Gate, is that the same or is that different?

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

thats entirely different

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

Oh alright 👍

#

Then ye there aren't NAND Gates

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

a shame

#

im not sure if AND and NOT gates save their output or input

#

that might also just create a super fast clock

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

Well we'll see xD

#

Well the Signal again is stuck behind the Blocker, although now that signal now just stays there even after turning off the Switch lol, I'll see if it remains after re-joining

#

i forgor to turn off the Switch before rejoining, with switch tho it dose stay, and without the switch on it also stays after rejoining

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:43 PM

#

i have a really simple idea

#

how about just a zero tick with an on switch leading into it instead of all the previous tries

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

So simply just a switch connected to a Zero tick and that into the circle contraption?

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

ye

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

humble plover So Bassiclly what happens Here is that when clicking the button a Singal Energy ...

so effectively just replacing the button up here with that

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

Well that worked 😅
Took a moment bcs for some reason there was signal at 2 spots in the Circle, i'll see if it works after Rejoining

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

the idea is that the zero tick activates when you join

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

The Switch activated hoooooweever for some reason after 1 circle the signal just vanished instead of continuing 🤔

#

Zero tick activated i mean, not switch that remained on

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

use a sustainer set to 1 second maybe? but do check that everything is connected correctly before you do that

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

oh, wait i did rejoin again to see where exactly the Signal vanishes and now it's working normally ;-; the Circle continues with no issue

Im not sure why the first the after Signal did 1 circle it just vanished 😅 i didin't change anything before rejoining now

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

thats good then

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

Well then thank you alot 😄 kinda funny that all that needed to change was a Zero tick Infront of the Switch lol

tranquil roost Jul 21, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

lol

humble plover Jul 21, 2025, 4:56 PM

#

I always thought when connecting a Switch to the Zero Tick it would make the signal tick, never knew it only register's the stitches signal once as a singular click 🤔

#

But Ye Still Thanks Alot, my base will kinda have alot of Electric Billboard's, and well the main reason im makign what i making was to have these Billboards go through diffrent images so it would really be sad if there wasn't a way to make the Billboard's work like that XDD If your curious what i wanted with the billboard then this lil thingy here telling Purpule Door's open for everyone while Red Ones only for me lol
