đŸ˜¶â€đŸŒ« I Need EVERYONE'S Opinion on This

A Trigger loop is really really easy to comprehend when you get to know what it really is.
it basically making a channel to be transmit in a certain interval over and over again, hence the “Transmit on X Channel when triggered” and “Trigger when receiving on X channel,” meaning that it could transmit a channel, delay, and transmit again, then repeat.

The main reason Gimkitters don’t utilize repeaters was not only because the high memory it takes or the low maximum limit you could place them on a map, it because of the tasks it could accomplish could be perfectly replaced by trigger loop in a much, much better way.

erm also, do you know the fact that abusing repeaters would affect you severely on your mental health??

Thanks to da one and only meeeeee

worst device imo is checkpoint. it can be done in a much more memory efficent way, like the reapter

Repeaters are my favorite device :slight_smile:

nah, its not the worst, because at least the checkpoint has a use, making sfx. the repeater doesn’t have anything unique and is by FAR the worst.

By technicality, since there’s 9222 users on the forums, and about
55% off the users are inactive and retired, it is not possible to get everyone’s opinion.

I'm sorry it had to be said I couldnt resist lmao

PREACH!
And those 5,072 inactive/retired users are here, they make the site lag

So i guess the ones who are active can vote

Barriers are def the best thing to overuse.
Idk why you’d want extra triggers

Also the poll is a sigle choice, so voting “10” isn’t possible

Sorry, I know this is off-topic, but is that really what makes the forums so laggy sometimes?

Well, you got your 50 voters! That’s an amazingly large amount for such a short timespan.

Thanks for all the votes everyone! I’m going to keep it open for at least another six hours.
Maybe until tomorrow! We got fifty votes already!

Thanks for elaborating, everyone!

Y’all this isn’t that complicated.
First off, best device isn’t even on here.
The best device is the item granter. It is basically a trigger, but it can run code 'when receiving on", saving memory and looks, and it can grant items, helpful when you need people to get stuff after running code.
I ended up voting for property, because I don’t know how any good map (maybe exception of platformers) run without properties.

Second, the worst devices is (gasp) not the repeater! Yes, I mean it. Listen, y’all all have a point with how the repeater is useless, but I have two counterarguments:

  1. It is just easier to use. It’s beginner friendly and pretty simple to set up. I actually use these in my map, and I don’t have that much of a problem with them (ok sure I have >500 memory left so maybe I should)
  2. The ball is the worst. Because a game could use a repeater, you would never know, and everything would be fine. But a ball, no offense to Gimkit team, they did a great job with the design and making the physics and all right, but it just isn’t really that fun to play with. In fact, I feel like games that just randomly has a ball is kind of worse. It isn’t the most attractive thing to look at, and if somebody puts a ball in there game, people will fire at it and it will just be annoying and chaotic.
    So yes, the repeater is not the worst, and others should see my point and vote the ball as the worst.

Team barrier all the way.
You can never have too many of them.
They’re cheap, simple, and have TONS of art potential to spice up your map
The only things that stops the fun is the barrier limit

Sure, you can do plenty with the more technical devices, but you only need a device for what you want. Not more.


I just played that today lol. Saw it on discord.

Play "Surrendering to Despair " on discovery if you wanna see some real freaky barrier art. It’s one of the best examples I know of that show how much you can do with them.

Dear god

It also uses lines to make funny looking platforms
