So uh… This is my second guide, I saw no other guides about this and the ones that are somewhat similar have no pictures BUT I DIDN’T USE THEM FOR THIS. So I made this guide, Im just going to talk about how to make an entire repeater, but without the repeater.
Stop After Receiving On Channel
This section is for how to make the “stop after receiving on channel” option in a repeater, here are the materials needed:
Materials Needed
Trigger x2
Method of activation (button, overlay, etc) 2x
First you need to place your method of activation, place it down and make it transmit on “repeater 1”, then make the trigger activates on “repeater 1” and trigger “repeater 1” with a delay of your choice, this will be how long the repeater repeats, this is nice because you can set it to below the 0.5 limit on a normal repeater.
Next your going to go into the first trigger and make it deactivate on “Stop trigger 1” and activate on “Activate trigger 2”, then get your second method of activation and make it transmit on “Stop trigger 1”, finally get your second trigger, make it start when receiving on “Stop trigger 1” and transmit on “Activate trigger 1” with a 0.3 second delay.
What this will do is start the trigger loop and when you want it to stop it deactivates the trigger loop for a split second so the loop stops.
Stop After Number Of Repetitions
This section is for how to make the “stop after number of repetitions” option in a repeater, here are the materials needed:
Materials Needed
Trigger x2
Counter x1
Method of activation (button, overlay, etc) x1
This part is a little more complicated, first, place your method of activation and make it transmit on “repeater 2”. Then make the first trigger start and stop on “repeater 2” with a delay of your choice, to finish this first trigger make it deactivate on “Stop trigger 2” and activate on “Activate trigger 2”.
The next step is to get a counter, make the counter increment when receiving on “repeater 2”, then make it reset the counter when receiving on “Stop trigger 2” and transmit on “Stop trigger 2” when the goal is reached, then make the goal how many times you want it to repeat.
Finally get your second trigger and make it start on “Stop trigger 2” and transmit on “Activate trigger 2” with a delay of 0.3 seconds. What this system does is start a trigger loop and when the counter reaches its goal it stops the trigger loop.
Stop After Period Of Time
This section is for how to make the “stop after period of time” option in a repeater, here are the materials needed:
Materials Needed
Trigger x4
Counter x1
Method Of Activation (button, overlay, etc) x1
This is probably the hardest of the three options which is why I saved it for last, to start place your method of activation and make it transmit on “repeater 3”, then get the first trigger and make it start and stop on “repeater 3”, after that make it deactivate when receiving on “Stop trigger 3” and activate on “Activate trigger 3”.
For the next part put the counter down, make it increment when receiving on “+1 second” and reset on “Stop trigger 3” as well as transmit on “Stop trigger 3” when goal is reached, make the goal how many seconds you want it to take before the repeater stops.
Get the second trigger and make it start on “repeater 3” and transmit on “+1 second” with no delay. Place the third trigger and make it start and stop on “+1 second” with a 1 second delay and deactivate on “Stop trigger 3” and activate on “Activate trigger 3”. Put down the fourth and final trigger, make it start on “Stop trigger 3” and transmit on “Activate trigger 3” with a 0.3 second delay.
Now your done with this section, what happens is that the trigger loop starts and also activates a second trigger loop that has a 1 second delay. The second trigger loop counts how many seconds its been in the counter which will reset and stop both trigger loops when it has been a certain amount of time.
I think I covered everything you can do with the repeater, I saw a few people saying that trigger loops couldn’t replace repeaters because repeaters have some special features and I wanted to make a way for people to completely replace the repeater. I also wanted to make this guide because the repeater has some limitations like being 400 memory, the fastest it can repeat is 0.5 seconds, and the fact that you can only place 10 of them.
Thanks for reading, I apologize in advance if I missed anything º–º
