NEVER USE TRIGGER CHAINS and a guide on "waiting" time in blocks! 🟨 or 5/10

Using blocks for extremely long animations actually saves memory. I’m talking about 10+ frames.

A table:

Trigger chain My method (with props) frame #
40 540 Frame 1
80 540 (550) Frame 2
120 540 (560) Frame 3
400 540 (640) Frame 10
1200 540 (940) Frame 30
2000 540 (1040) Frame 50
4000 540 (1540) Frame 100
40000 540 (10540) Frame 1000
120000 540 (30540) Frame 3000
200000 540 (50540) Frame 5000
4,000,000 540 (1,000,540) Frame 100,000

All while maintaining the benefits of trigger chains (being able to edit the time between frames)
(No one in their right mind would do anything over 3k frames in gimkit tho THE MEMORY)

So yes, trigger chain is better for less than 14 frames, then my method becomes superior
And because the wire repeaters also need one unit for every frame, they’ll also eventually be defeated by my system.

Wire repeaters (with wires) succumb at frame 21.

so there is more than 1 trigger

My system only uses one trigger.
