As a self taught "expert" circuiteer, I still learned so much. How was I supposed to know some of this😂😂

Wow thanks man 🥰

Now I mainly do building alot more them cv1/2 but I have been finding out on how I can also learn circuitry but I couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried but this tutorial actually does help me alot more and gives me the good amount of info to learn more about cv1/2 I'll admit it I've been subbed to this channel for quite a bit and this tutorial is amazing truly it doesn't just help me and gives me a major amount of info but it probably helps others I really recommend this video to anyone like me who is trying to get the cv1/2 or circuitry knowledge to go from beginner to pro

[@AceButSlightlyWorse]

Thank you so much! I’m more of a builder person so it’s quite hard to make rooms that aren’t art rooms by myself and tbh why did scratch help me understand some of these circuits

[@theRCLman]

i have been hearing that more and more now, hope this vid helped

[@SantaMoonke]

Because scratch is amazing

[@InsaneInVR]

I remember when I first started messing around with circuits V2 and the first thing that I ever did was make a teleport gun and after I made that it all just kinda clicked people say CV2 is really hard but in reality, it's really easy if you know what you're doing so that's why every time somebody is thinking about getting into circuits I always recommend them to make something simple like a teleport gun or a jetpack so yea that's how I got into Cv2

[@theRCLman]

Once you get it it all just kinda falls into place

[@CH4UV3]

A thing that i did to learn circuits is: -copy others -stop to read the circuits names to try to understand it (btw i'm french and i was trash at english atm 😅)

[@theRCLman]

this is true method

[@CH4UV3]

​@@theRCLmanand now that i understand a lot of circuits the thing i do is that -i go on youtube -i search circuits tutorials -i try to make the system And if i don't understand i only go to the part i don't understand.

On the reset counter im having a problem that whenever I click the button it doesn’t go up, and yes I did follow the instructions I even triple checked it but when I connected the original internet output to the second integer input it did go up by one like it’s suppose to but I just can’t figure out how to make it restart at ten, the way you showed just dident work. No hate I was just wondering if anyone could help or give me some pointers

[@theRCLman]

did you possibly make a new integer variable instead of cloning the one that already exist?

[@ColdsawOps]

Hey rcl I’m making a game and there’s a puzzle where you need to collect two objects to power the gate to open to te next stage how do i make it where it triggers when both are there not just one

[@theRCLman]

you would need to check the list of objects in the zone with the specific tag on them, config trigger volume to only look for those tags, then have it so when an item enters does the list of objects within contain 2

Can you make a video teaching people how to make something not drop out of your hand ex: trigger handle because I’ve been trying to find a tutorial and I’ve asked on the rec room discord even but I’ve had no luck

my guess is a 30hz reciver hooked to a rec room object get last equipping player, if the bool is false then equip to las tplayers hand, that way if they drop it will come back

So, I need a button v1 to have a constant output. I can’t use the toggle button for what I’m doing. How can I achieve a constant output that can be shut off with a separate v1 button? All because of a light having an on/off instead of an on and an off and the lights that have on and off being cv2. This game tries my patience. Edit: never mind, I used a bool set to or and a comparer, then connected the red to the green and the green output to the comparer red, then the second button to the reset on the bool.

[@theRCLman]

I have forgotten all my cv1 knowledge, glad you figured it our

How to make objects take damage like say you hit it with a gun shot or the sword trigger volume I would want it to break

Hey RCL i need help with something , lets say someone spawns in my circut board where it would look for my display name and give me a promt right when they spawn the invention thanks🎉

[@theRCLman]
