How to make lasers on and off without laser beam manager. (warning - uses storage) Difficulty: 2/10 (CLOSED TOPIC)

I have seen many posts on the Help tab asking how you can do this. I’ve figured out an easy way that doesn’t require many wires. You don’t even need a laser beam manager!

I didn’t see any guides that were already about this. but if you see any that were posted before this, let me know.

What you need:
:heart: lifecycle device (x1)
:heart: trigger device (x1)
:heart: laser device (one to start out, do the rest later.)

let’s start with our lifecycle! click on it to start.
when you open it, you will see two options:
Event and When event occurs, transmit on

You only need event. Make sure it is set to Game Start. If it already is, don’t worry about it.

If it isn’t, change it to be.

It should look like this:

now, click off and move to your first trigger.

Please do all these settings:



You’re doing great!

now, open your second trigger.
great!
you are going to do these settings:


yay! you are almost there. now, open your laser.

you don’t need too many settings for this. just these:

you are almost done! just a few more lasers.

lifecycle > ON trigger (the first trigger we did.)
event occurs > trigger
ON trigger > OFF trigger (the last trigger we did)
triggered > trigger
OFF trigger > ON trigger
triggered > trigger

your lasers should look like this:

start the game to make sure your laser works.

CONGRATULATIONS, you did it! bravo!!

EDIT: i am sorry for making a useless topic.. laser beam manages were always confusing to me so i made this.

have you checked to see if there were guides already made about this?

This is also memory expensive, the two triggers and lifecycle add up to 130 mem I think. A simple Laser Beam Manager is only 32.

Those are guides on laser beam managers kat. I think they wanted some way to make it without the manager, but it became more memory consuming, which makes it useless if you could just use the manager.

Indeed, which makes this topic useless -_-.

laser beam managers are used for the same purpose of switching lasers on and off.
like toothless also said:

it’s not memory-efficient
