Pro tip: use the Relay node to consolidate connections and make the sketch less... well... sketchy. You can also use Events (Broadcaster and Listener nodes) triggered by the docking station's button presses/releases to tell other nodes when to evaluate in a nice clean way without re-evaluating every tick. As an irl programmer, re-evaluating everything on every tick even when it hasn't changed feels like hitting a nail with a sledgehammer :) Sure the nail got hit, but at a significant cost to the wall and in this case game performance. (Even further, Events send payloads through so the same Event listener can be used to trigger evaluation AND populate values without having to run connections across the sketch.)

[@BleachWizz]

hey instead of evaluating every tick, drag the same inputs you sent to V1 and V2 to evaluate. This way the code only runs when you press or release a button, it makes the creation a lot more lag friendly. If you're into programming this is a design pattern called event driven architecture.

[@lostsmile6792]

Pro tip: instead of connection multiple nodes to an output create a variable that the output writes to and make all the nodes take the variable for example : you could use a node called "write to variable" that writes from "math expression" node output and for all the motors you had you could take in that variable

I'm just waiting til someone makes an *entire computer* in Plasma... or maybe Plasma in Plasma???

[@jmejuniper]

I mean, that's pretty simple for the most part (depending on what you want it to do). In fact, you *might* be able to access the internet using the port block and a lua script?

[@simply-dash]

@@jmejuniper 🤐

[@crimssoon]

@@jmejuniper Oh yeah.

[@neonvx8882]

Wow! you know the GPS would be useful for target tracking, so you make auto tracking turrets!

[@tylerg9539]

Tip: Instead of detaching it and cloning it you can just middle click an attached part to copy it even if its already attached

[@HeroMaster137]

He’s Griffpatch but for Plasma

[@FoxDog1080]

This game runs so much better than VRChat

[@marcisepsei1679]

thanks this video, it's so learnful

[@spankyjeffro5320]

Disqualified, the wheels clip into one another.

[@naeemfredericks1503]

i hope u build boats in the full launch

[@UltimatePerfection]

Now make it self-driving.

[@HumbleJesus]

I want to see a speed run of this with no building and no coding and no power to your computee

[@divinetouch9308]

looks very satisfying :)

[@beaclaster]

Durf you played Main Assembly? it has the same programming mechanic as Plasma and it also has aerodynamics

[@Durf]

I've played it a bit I was really enjoying the building mechanics of that game too. Panels that you could put anywhere in 3D space, AND curve them? That's pretty cool for all kinds of stuff, but I think the most I built was a dragon and some tool to convert 3d models into in game polys

[@aorta538]

What about a walker with magnetic feet who can walk upside-down... 😎

[@BLKBRDSR71]

Why do I feel like I'm watching a class on how to do logic?

[@jn1211]

i wanna play this demo so bad! but my brain can't just un-invert 30+ years of invert, it's a truly jarring experience that takes away from the whole so I have to wait until the whole game releases to have an inverted mouse.

[@letsget100subswithoutconte4]

You could try swapping the mouse invert settles on your computer before playing sure you have to do it every time but then you get to play

[@wilgiriusz9413]

What do you think about building a train?

[@SCOP_]

Kinda looks like a caterpillar

[@afoxwithahat7846]

CAT Tank

[@Ra99y]

just say u were sponsored already haha

[@Durf]

This is genuine enjoyment of a game, not sponsored in any way Tbh I wish it was sponsored :P Getting paid to do what you love is the best

[@Nearsighted-Joker]

But now, when pressing W and A/D one side will go double the speed an the other one will not turn at all. I copied your build an noticed the problem. Still trying to figure out how to fix this

[@Durf]

Depends what you want it to do when pressing key combinations Should it not double the speed? Should it not stop? You can give priority to WS over AD, so pressing a combination will only result in forward/reverse, or the other way around where a combination will only turn and not move forward/reverse. There's a lot of ways to do this sort of thing, but it depends on what you want the tank to do The behavior is intentional and WD is adding the drive values to the turn values, for each left and right side, resulting in the double speed and zero speed. That's actually what I wanted my tank to do.

[@Nearsighted-Joker]

@@Durf Ah, okay. My vehicle just flipped because of the double speed, that's why I asked. I don't want it to stop when pressing AD while driving so I just mapped outputs -1000 and 1000 to 500 and -500 and subtracted them from the result. That way I make sure that my max speed won't exceed 500/-500 while still allowing me to steer while driving :) Thanks for answering btw, I really like your videos! :)

[@frog8678]

cool

[@hlibprishchepov322]

try to make mirrors

[@mreeper25]

why are you so different when recording a video vs when streaming?

[@Durf]

🤔 maybe because for videos I edit out the parts where I'm a dingus 😜

[@JimjamtheDaftone]

Will ya look at worlds?

[@Durf]

yes, not sure how easy that will be (maybe I should setup a discord bot for that or something)

[@JimjamtheDaftone]

@@Durf I like that idea, might do it myself [but as a server]

[@thegreenfox011]

ok
