Why does the block keep popping out?

[getrithekd]

What are you trying to do? I’ll try to make it more efficient.

Oops my bad… That’s embarassing

[Kosm0-o]

What you can do is have a property that updates using a specific formula every time to save on blocks and compare x and y to that property. Use a trigger loop or something to run the code again until it has run the amount of times you want it.

Can you give a screenshot?

Edit: Nvm I know you’re on vacation

[Kosm0-o]

Lol. Getting a screenshot on gkc on a phone would be so annoying

I made a guide on looping code that could be useful.

@Ben_to_the_10th

Have you ever needed to run the same piece of code over and over with one variable changing? Yeah probably not. But if you ever need to, here’s how you do it!

What you need: A trigger and a property device

Step 1: Get the devices ready

This is probably the easiest step.

1. Create a property device. This will be what keeps track of how many times the code has looped. Set the property type to “Number” and the starting value to 0. (This may not be necessary depending on the conditional statement you choose. If you want it to be more like a while loop rather than a for loop, this might not be needed)
   
2. Create a trigger device. Set “Trigger when receiving on” to a channel name. I used “loop code” Also, there might need to be a delay so that all the code can run fast enough, or it is just necessary in your situation
   

Step 2: Create a condition

Now create a block in the trigger. First we need a condition to check whether the code should keep looping, or stop. Make sure it has an “else” statement. I just checked to see if the property we made was less than 10.

Step 3: If the condition passes

When the conditional statement passes, it will do something, then loop the code. To loop the code, just call the channel that sends a signal on this same trigger.

This code I have here adds 1 to the property, and transmits on the channel called barrier #. (The # means whatever the property is. It’ll make sense later.) Then it calls the channel to run the trigger again. Step 4: If the condition fails

This just means the condition has been met, and the looping needs to stop. So, nothing needs to be here! There are some things that may need to be here though depending on the situation. For example, if you want something to happen when all the looping has finished, you could transmit on a channel like this:

Step 5: Do whatever else you need to do

This loop can be used in many different situations, so I can’t put anything specific here. But I can show what I did!
I just made 9 barriers with numbers on them that are not visible on start.

The barrier with a one on it activates when receiving on “barrier 1”. The barrier with a two on it activates when receiving on “barrier 2”. and so on and so forth. (This is why I had the transmit on channel barrier # before. Told ya it would make sense!)
When the button at the top is pressed it transmits on the channel “loop code” This starts the loop and goes through each number and transmits on its corresponding channel. When all the looping is finished, it makes text appear that says “All done!”

This was my first guide made on the forums, so let me know if this made sense and/or was helpful!

[Kosm0-o]

Example:
Set x to get property x
Set y to get property y
If x > get property m and y > get property m
Do ________
Set property m
Value get property m + 10

And then a trigger loop constantly runs the code. Wired to a counter with target value of x that deactivates a trigger when target value reached. If you want the code to run the whole game just reset property m when target value of counter is reached.

Not my intention, sorry. I meant that the block doesn’t like the number (not like i don’t like this but like it won’t accept it)

coordinate system of the entire map based off of a player coordinates device
I’m rounding it to 25 or 50 depending on memory and how efficient I can get this
you can do the 50(100 times) if its more convenient just need it to take as little blocks as possible

I was trying to make a more efficient way of making a coordinate system for the entire map

[Foxy]

tell me when you have some ideas I need to eat
attention span is horrendous when I’m hungry

[Foxy]

by the way
when I’m done should I make it into a guide?

[getrithekd]

Oh you can do x mod 25 and y mod 25 and then go off there. Use x mod 25 and y mod 25 as the grid coords.

[Kormorant]

that would be good

[Slim]

What does that do?

[Ben_to_the_10th]

It gets the remainder of the x and y coordinates divided by 25. I think…

You could also do this:

The same thing has happened to me! This is probably not the best fix for it, but it’s my usual workaround. (@getrithekd 's way is probably better, but I posted this in case you wanted a different way)

[Foxy]

will try that out later
I need to either update a property on broadcast on a channel depending on where you are

will update on what it does when I add it

Well I guess implanting mechanics for the entire map will have to wait

also @ClicClac do you still need that bio? I have it on my computer just never got it to you when I got blocked

[ClicClac]

Yes, in fact. I do still need the bio.

[Foxy]

@ClicClac
I’m kinda tempted to leave “apparently the fox says nothing” but here’s what I wrote

bio:

The somewhat annoying shapeshifting fox
that appeared mysteriously after halloween,
who seems to have strange luck in racing. Is she cheating?
Probably but you’ll never prove it. -

you can change the lines up

[Foxy]

I added the code not sure if its working or not right now
now I just need it to be able to broadcast on a channel depending on where you are

inserting the rest of the code and I’ll write again
and need to google what mod means again
