How to make a population counter for sentries

Channels

Some way… It depends on what setting the block is at. If it is for wire, then wire. If it’s for channel, then channel.

What? This is the blockcode.

It’s for an overlay.

Ok, but what does it say on the side? What is the blockcode triggered by?

It’s triggered by a channel

When receiving on a channel. Oh, now I understand, sorta?

Then make the lifecycle broadcast on that channel?

It works but now the sentry count won’t go down.

Make a trigger that receives on “Sentry Knocked Out” and broadcasts on “Update Sentry Overlay”. Make a new block in the overlay that receives on… I don’t need to tell you that. Put these blocks in that block:

After that, make the lifecycle broadcast on “Update Sentry Overlay”.

Yeah I see how this is more optimized. The scariest part is the block code. I’m not really the best at block code right now lol.

The block code in this guide is pretty simple, so it’s a good place to start learning about block code.

He’s the general, he must be all powerful if he’s controlling the army/ leader of the army, lol.

(Probably used the blaster to blast himself away, pun intended, AHGHAGA)
