Hey everyone!
Part 3 of the 4 logic patches is here! With an absolute ton of fixes & improvements along with a new environment to play in. Also introducing new logic components, and a few which use numbers instead of pulses! Also this patch includes some more new props, paints & freeform shapes!
New environment
The new factory environment is a large area where you can utilize some new moving objects into your tracks! It features something I'd call the slammer, a vat of liquid metal and moving gears!
Several of the props have been added to your toolkit to add yourself too. With more coming soon.
In addition 2 new paints have been added which fit the factory style. Along with 2 new freeform shapes such as the gutter (as seen in the factory) and the highly requested wide track with a higher border!
More logic
Some new logic components have been added along with the introduction of number logic. Using the new comparator object you can compare number values and emit a pulse based on a few comparison options. The number object will let you enter a custom number and it will persist when saving / making it a prefab and uploading!
The counter object will count every rising edge pulse it gets, it fits well with the trigger which now has a checkbox to toggle if it should emit 1 pulse on marble entry instead of a continuous pulse.
And lastly the toggle component is there for easier toggling of logic.
More moving objects
Two new gear wheels have been added that function similar to spinners. They can be used to create some new and interesting tracks! And also introducing the first mover, which moves back and forth and has a configurable distance and speed.
