Chronic Logic

Quote from: Jonathan_NL,July 26 2005,6:23The door:
- Cut a hole in the tiles where you want the door to go.
- Place the door (a block) in it.
- Place another object somewhere in the direction it is traveling, past the end point.
- Connect them with pistons and set appropriate parameters.
- Place a button or area or anything you can activate somewhere.
- Set the action of the object you connected the pistons from to the thing you want it to be activated by.
Is the block a type 2 object?
How does it go through the tiles?
Whic pistons and what parameters should I enter?
How do you "Set the action of the object you connected the pistons from to the thing you want it to be activated by."?
Do you hold down K or something?




Hopyfully I can clarify the docs:
Advanced piston editing (not for kids)
  to edit the length, speed and revolution of a piston
go into the object editor select the anchor point that the
piston is attached to.
      Red= Length piston extends or contracts (1=1 tile length)
The piston will go back and forth that distance.
      Green= Seconds per revolution
Every green seconds it will be in the start state again.
      Blue= Number of revolutions
NOTE: All Pistons must be attached from the anchor to the object or it wont work!!!!
It will work, but it will use the RGB values of the non-anchor object. Makes perfect sense.
NOTE: All pistons attached to the anchor will be affected in the same way.
NOTE: If the anchor point is linked to a button the piston will wait until it
     is activated to move
NOTE: Anchors with pistons shouldnt be used as lights.
You can, but you may not like that the RGB values are shared.
NOTE: Pistons attached to anchors to wheels is hella complicated!

What are the numbers for the pistons?
All I know is 6=half-pulled and 8=half-pushed or something.

How do you creste a platform the moves up and then down forever?

- Create an anchor at (4.5, 8.5).
- Create a block at (4.5, 2.5).
- Set anchor RGB to (4, 8, 0).
- Add two pull pistons from the anchor to the closest corners of the block.
Note: the type of piston is the start position (also, the distance is essentially negated with (half) pull pistons). If the revolution starts at push and ranges 0-1:
- push=0
- half pushed=0.25
- pull=0.5
- half pulled=0.75


What are these bolded numbers?
Can you explain what's in Itlaics again please.
I tryed it but it just went up and then down too far which messed up the shape and when Gish jumped on, he flattened into it and was killed when it went down.


Thank you very much for the long reply.I'm sorry if I'm very slow with this kind of stuff.
