Expression Gate 2

[Divran]

Pointless bump, and you're also completely wrong

[Evac]

So there you have it... make your expression run every time value is changed.

Also, toggle button changes the value the moment you press it, no matter if you hold it or not.
Non-toggle button changes the value back the moment you release it.

E2's run each time a value is changed in inputs (Unless specified other otherwise).
Meaning, if you wire it up to a button and you press that button and then release it the E2 would have ran twice, due to 2 value changes (Highlighted them).
An output is an output, the E2 don't know that it's wired to a button it only knows that it's getting a value and it has to run each time that value changes.

Let's all stop bumping this ok

Um, bump :P

Where can I find the classes for findByClass? I had a thread yesterday but I can't remember it's name and I was using the in-game browser.

E:type()

That's not what I meant Divran :P I mean when you use findByClass("") All the things that can go between the quotes.

That was the answer. Use type on entities to get their class, and then you know what to put in there to find that entity.
EDIT: Or just look at the entity's folder name.

I have to find the entity before I can use type() on it, which is why I need to know how to find it with findByClass. Right now my contraption uses findByClass("prop_*") but I also want it to find other entities like rpgs.

No you don't.

@inputs E:entity
print(E:type())

The type RPGs is harder to get, but using this code:

@outputs R:array
runOnTick(1)
if (findCanQuery()) {
    findInSphere(entity():pos(),500)
    R=findToArray()
}

And then firing the RPG through this invisible sphere, I got "rpg_missile" (using Debugger tool on the E2).

Thanks for the RPG code. I still don't get how using E:type() is going to help me if E has not been assigned an entity yet:

@persist E
findByClass("prop_")
E = findClosest(owner():pos())
print(E:type())

That makes sense to me because I know E is a prop, but this:

@persist E
print(E:type())

doesn't because nowhere do you tell it what E is. Get what I'm saying?
