How to Use Functions in Blocks (Difficulty: 4/10) Need to know about functions

[getrithekd]

A screenshot of what?

[Vortex-Mist]

i’m still kind of confused, could you explain what use this has?
Edit: Not trying to be rude sorry if it came off that way

[ClicClac]

The entire setup. Also, what do you mean by function?

[getrithekd]

It stores blocks that are used a lot in a trigger, and it can help reduce block use, since you have a limit of 75 blocks.

[getrithekd]

I made a guide on it earlier. It takes in properties and then outputs other properties.

[getrithekd]

Here it is. The group on the left is the trigger-block I’m running and the group on the right is the function.

[ClicClac]

Can you explain it? I didn’t get that guide either.

[Here_to_help]

Confused, how does this not work? And what is “functions”. Also, I don’t code in python! Middle schooler here!

[mysz]

Functions just call block code, like a trigger is theoretically just a function I guess. I don’t really understand either.

[getrithekd]

Time for some CS theory:
Functions take in inputs, perform some calculations, and then spit out an output.

What we’re doing here is changing the input of the function, then calling the function, the setting our property that we want to calculate with to the output of the function. To implement the function, I used some properties and a trigger to use the blocks.

In the picture, the input property is Divider and Dividend. The output is the remainder property. When the remainder property changes, it sets the trigger on the left off through the counter->property->trigger chain of channels. This, the trigger on the left will run different blocks than before because now the Amount of Functions Done property is 1.

OOOOOHHHHH! You mean functions like in math! Like the ones you graph! I was overthinking and though you meant some sort of coding thingie! Although, couldn’t you just add or subtract or whatever?

This is pretty useful, but it’s like a python trade off. Simplicity for less efficiency. (Lots of triggers recursing each other tends to be slow).

Get not impossibled

It's not impossible

So I’ve seen on the forums people saying things are impossible. This isn’t true, anything can be done in gimkit creative. Please don’t tell people things are impossible. Instead, say that there is probably a way to do it, but you don’t know how. If they are asking how to use a feature not yet added, for example “How 2 farm plz help”, you can respond with “The gimkit team hasn’t yet added farming into the game, however you might be able to recreate it with props and vending machines and maybe som…

[Here_to_help]

Well, notice his wording. He never said it was impossible, just didn’t think it was. Difference.

[ClicClac]

I think I get it, this sounds niche, but useful.

[mysz]

Also, I meant as of now’s discoveries.

[Here_to_help]

Bye guys.

Ok time to do integrals while I’m taking a break from bitwise operations

Also I’m pretty sure integrals can be implemented in brain**** and brain**** can be implemented in creative.

[mysz]

What about double, triple, line, and surface integrals? The laplace transform? Fourier Series? Taylor Series (very possible)? Derivatives? Partial Derivatives? Are you going to implement that?
