  • If I try to open my last build, I get a command that says 'Project saved with future release of C3' - I am not using any beta stuff. But even if I enable Beta build, it says it can not open the file. Can anyone elaborate what is going on?

  • It really does work fantastic. I am still trying to fully understand your workaround, it seems so tightly knitted. :) You should really distill this system and sell it on the store imo. Thank you so much, you are a champ. :)

  • I am spamming my own post *sigh* ;D

    Well, this is soo clever done! I would not ever have come up whit a solution like this. It makes me revaluate on how to use arrays like that in the future. My failed method looks more like brute force compared to your method. ;-)

  • It works like a charm! I do have a lot to learn yet. :)

  • God i like you Magistross! ;0)

    I do not fully understand how you did it, but i will sit down and figure it out now. I owe you one budddy!

  • Hi Magistross. I think you might have uploaded the wrong cp2 file as I can't see anything changed?

    But iI am looking forward to see what you have done! :-)

  • You know what Plinkie, I have probably made it a bit too complicated for my level of experience. I can see a lot of coming dilemmas width this approach using an array. And I think I have to go with your idea about the distance check. But it was a valuable lesson getting familiar with arrays. Thanks for your support once again Plinkie. Cheers m8.

  • Ok, I might have been too vague in my question, sorry Plinkie.

    Well, the yellow icon is the power source. If you connect a red square by putting it next to the power source it will get powered indicated by turning green. (This is my problem ->) If you have a string of (cords pieces) red blocks (that is now turned green) and removes one block in the middle of the string - the rest of the blocks that are not connected to the yellow power generator will lose power and will turn red again.

    The tilemap is a work in progress and needs a bit more explanation.

    I hope it makes more sense with these pictures. (English is not my main language.)

  • Hi again fellow constructors.

    I want to make a power grid using an array. I kind of made the initial setup and it works fine.

    But I have a hard time to figure out how to disconnect parts of the power grid from the generator.

    I really could use some guidance from a pro on how to make it work properly.

    I would love to hear some inputs from you on how to make this baby to happen.

  • What should I do without you Plinkie. Thanks. :-)

  • I did this.:

  • I came to the same conclusion. Well i will give it a good try to figure it out then.

  • hmm, yes. It seems way easier that way. But I am keen on learning arrays. But yes i probably have to run each cell in the array every time i place a new tile.

  • Sure plinkie. That is the next logical step of course. But thanks. :-)
