All Possible Wire Options

This is a work-in-progress list of all possible wire options, with every single device that can start or end a wire. All options have details explaining their purpose. Feel free to modify this for whatever reason as long as it follows forum rules! [1]
All wire options were tested with the device starting/ending the wire as intended, and a trigger on the other end of the wire.
Devices are sorted by their order in the Add Menu.

Do not edit if someone else checked the box. Uncheck the box once you’re done. Please don’t check the box for fun.

Alright, let’s get into the actual options.

  • Flag Captured: Runs when someone brings the flag into the respective flag capture zone.
  • Flag Dropped: Runs when someone drops the flag, either from being knocked out or manually.
  • Flag Picked Up: Runs when someone picks up the flag.
  • Flag Returned To Base: Runs when a dropped flag is returned to its base.
  • Flag Manually Returned To Base: Runs when someone manually returns the flag to its base (by interacting with the flag while on the same team as it)

I decided to post this as a WIP due to the fact that there are still about 22 devices left, and I thought that maybe others could help finish.

Of these devices, the Flag and Questioner have the most overall options with 9 each. The Respawn, End Game, Property, and Lifecycle have the least, with only 1 option each (not counting the devices with no wire options).


  1. If anything is different in platformer mode versus top-down, please edit this post to clarify! I don’t have the season ticket, so I can’t test myself. ↩︎

oh my goodness, bro… how long did it take for you to make this XD

Probably about an hour or two, and I only made it halfway before deciding to post it and let the community finish.
Not to mention like 15-30 minutes placing all of the devices, testing to see which ones could start and end a wire, then deleting them all.

thats… halfway? oh my goodness

I added 24 devices, and there are about 22 left. Not only that, but I was originally planning to include every possible permutation (meaning for every device that starts a wire I’d also include every device that ends a wire), which would’ve been 1,107 permutations. I’m sure you can see why I didn’t do that.

@NoNoWahoo wouldn’t this go into community made guides?

I don’t think so, since this isn’t really a guide, just a catalog.

ah ok

if its not to much trounble, could you make it so you say what the things do? (like a definiton to say the trigger?)

Yeah, I’ll do it later today when I have a computer available. It might not be the most specific, however. You could also edit it in yourself.

This is an interesting topic… i like it.

0.0 thats going to be uh very…lengthy I mean uh there is like a ton of devices with a ton of connections it could be possible that you could miss 3 or maybe 5 so goodluck

2 Likes

Yeah, I might, but that’s one of the reasons I made this a wiki, so anyone can edit.
It’s only about 150-200 connections anyways. It’s still a decently large amount, but much less than the 1,107 I was originally planning on having.

@Godatbedwars Please don’t check the checkbox for fun. (If you were actually editing, my bad. I thought you weren’t, but I might’ve been wrong.)

I like this idea of a guide. People often don’t know the possibilities of using wires!
They are limited, but they are pretty useful! I hope the options are listed! :slightly_smiling_face:
