Wire Repeater Tutorial (and their useless brother, the repeater)!

Hello! It’s me again, with another post. This time, I’ll be teaching how to use wire repeaters, and NOT to use repeaters. I hope you guys like it!

The Wire Repeater’s Main Menu
The Wire repeaters main menu is pretty simple. For a visual aid:

Figure 1: The wire repeater menu:

To begin, the delay thing up top shows the amount of time it hesitates on completing the action. The allowed team thing on the bottom, is a bit more complicated. Let’s say you have a vending machine. If that vending machine is wired to the wire repeater like this:

Let’s say you put the wire repeater “allowed team” thingy on Team 1, like so:

And you attach the wire repeater to a pop-up, like so:

The entire contraption works!

Now, if someone from Team 1 buys something from the vending machine. The pop-up will show for him. But when someone from Team 2 buys something from the vending machine, the pop-up will NOT show. It all makes sense in the end, right?

DO NOT USE REPEATERS!!!

I’m telling you! DON’T USE THEM! The same thing can be accomplished with 2 wire repeaters! I’ll show you.

First of all, THEY ARE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MEMORY!!! A normal repeater uses 400 memory while 2 wire repeaters only use 10! Sure, If you want to waste 40x THE AMOUNT OF MEMORY, then go ahead. No one’s stopping you. But if you want to listen to me, here is the tutorial:

To begin: get 2 wire repeaters and wire them to each other, like so:

Figure 4: Not that hard, right?

Now with ONLY one wire repeater, and I repeat, with ONLY one wire repeater, (this is the most important part!) change the delay to what ever you want, and then wire up any of the wire repeaters to the desired device. See? I just saved you 390 memory.

The Most Common Use of Wire Repeaters

Now this I don’t think I have to go over, but I will anyways.

Let’s say you have a button. If you click that button, multiple things happen. But since the maximum wire limit is 6, you can’t do that. That’s a common problem. So what you do is wire the button to a wire repeater, WITHOUT editing the settings of the wire repeater, and just wire it to all the things it should do.

The End

Well, this is it! I hope you enjoyed my second post. Hopefully none of you use repeaters ever again. Bye!

yes This is very true this guide is great

There is a problem however. You can’t stop a wire repeater loop without a trigger, so you might as well use a trigger loop, unless the wire repeater needs to be run throughout the whole game.

@Bardy_2913 , how does that work?

@harharharhar83 , I bump each and every post I make so then more people will see it and learn. In fact…

not to be that person but, you don’t need to have bump be in your post for the topic to reach the top. you just need to make a reply to the topic. we don’t have a rule on how long to wait until you can bump but I always try to at least wait until its been a day or two.

Good Guide!
@Anonymus
I like how you showed us how to make team scoped wire repeater and how to use it!

Nice guide! I like how you made a nice idea. Only problem is this thing kind of was made, but since you were gone for 10 months, how could you know? Lol

Love how you had a lot of images.

Also I agree with it “Bardy”

amazing guide it will help with many builds. Keep posting great things :smile:

this is nice and all, but note that you can’t deactivate wire repeaters

actually, since you wired the wire repeaters together, you saved 370 memory (because you have 2 wires and each wire is 10 memory). it’s still a significant amount of memory though

Although there is not a rule you should generally wait 5 days before bumping so all new guides can flourish. Bumping five minutes after you post isn’t necessary ._.
