Question for wires

[aviatonmedia]

Is it better to have wires or channels. Because wires get messy? Thanks!

I mean channels are more organized

Wires vs Channels?

Ahoy! Could someone explain the use cases/ pros and cons for wires and channels? At first glance they seem very similar to me so I was wondering what the wider community uses each for. Thanks!

@Haiasi

Wires:

Pros:

• They can (sometimes) do more actions than channels can do
• Able to be seen visually

Cons:

• They take up memory
• Can produce a lot of lag
• Can be messy

Channels:

Pros:

• They can do a lot of things wires can do and cost 0 memory,
• Makes your screen much more cleaner

Cons:

• They can’t do everything wires can

• Can be harder to find devices with same channels

It really depends on you.

Overall, I’d recommend using both a decent wires and channels in your map!

If you want to wire a device to a lot of other devices
(Example below)

Vending Machine) Item Purchased —> (Trigger 1) Trigger

(Vending Machine) Item Purchased —> (Trigger 2) Trigger

and so on, channels are much more efficient and cause less screen clutter.

Also, if you don’t mind I recategorized this topic from Devices to Help and removed the off-topic tag for two reasons:

1. Devices posts are mostly for device theories/research/technical gimkit and a junkyard/dumpster for off-topic posts.

2. This isn’t off-topic, it’s related to Gimkit Creative.
