I have a problem

[rob tabb]

I'm trying to make a switch like system, I tried wires and can't seem to pull it off.

If I do:

[ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Active ] -> [ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Inactive ] again

[ Wire_Active | Wire_Inactive ] -> [ Wire_Active | Wire_Active ] again

I get:

If I switch the  rules around, I get:

I think the first rule overwrites the opposite rule.

If anyone has an easier way to make it, send the rules to this topic please.

Here's the game:

Hey!

First, you don't need to add the again command on those rules, once a rule executes, it tries to execute again, so in a single turn a rule like

[ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Active ] -> [ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Inactive ]

Will set all the wire to inactive.

Second, the problem you have here is on the order of operations, whenever you have a wire_inactive next to a wire_active, the first rule between those two will change the whole wire, so whenever you reach to the second rule the wire is all active or all inactive and the conditions aren't met.

I would separate (reorder) the rules for the two possible interactions with the wire:

[ action Player | Pillar_Inactive ] -> [ Player | action Pillar_Active ]

[ Pillar_Active | Wire_Inactive ] -> [ Pillar_Active | Wire_Active ]

[ Wire_Active | Wire_Inactive ] -> [ Wire_Active | Wire_Active ]

[ action Player | Pillar_Active ] -> [ Player | action Pillar_Inactive ]

[ Pillar_Inactive | Wire_Active ] -> [ Pillar_Inactive| Wire_Inactive ]

[ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Active ] -> [ Wire_Inactive | Wire_Inactive ]

This way, in each turn that the action key is pressed a single chunk of rules would be executed.

I hope this helps,

Thank you so much!

I have done something like this.
This is the simplest way I know of to make sure that contiguous wires are only active if they are touching an active pillar:

[Wire_Active] -> [Wire_Inactive]

[Switch_Active|Wire_Inactive] -> [Switch_Active|Wire_Active]

[Wire_Active|Wire_Inactive] -> [Wire_Active|Wire_Active]
