How to install wiremod

Navigate to the top right where the tabs are. In addition to the normal "Tools", "Options", and "Utilities", there should be a new tab named "Wire". If this tab is not here, you dun goofed. There's going to be an assmaster load of tabs. Close all the tool tabs first so we can get an idea of what we'll be working with. The first thing you're going to want to do is spawn a Wire Turret from the "Wire - Physics" tab. Adjust the settings however you like and spawn it anywhere you please. Ensure that the On value is at least 1 and the Off value is 0.

Don't worry about the "Output Entity" checkbox on the Button, it is for more advanced users and won't effect how the button works directly. Once you have your desired Turret and form of input placed, we can introduce the tool you will use the most, the Wire Advanced tool, under "Wire - Tools".

Select the tool and hover over your turret. A box should appear, with a green highlight to "Fire". Left click to select the input. Highlight the appropriate output and left click again. This indicates the datatype you must use to fill the feild. You cannot assign this input with something like a Number, 9. It must be in the format of a string, such as "9". Not specially notated. Angle - Not much different than a number, but is computed differently when it is input to another wire device, so it has to be diffrentiated from numbers.

Not usually specially notated. String - Text. Strings are usually surrounded by quotation marks " " to signify that it is a string and not another data type, such as "String Text" or "".

Vector - A vector is any combination of two to four numbers. Vectors output positions in the world, or on things such as Console Screens. The most common vector you should be using is a 3D vector, which has three points, X, Y and Z.

Wire also supports 2D and 4D vectors, but the usefulness of these is limited to how good you are with mathematics. Entities cannot often have operations performed on them, usually they are used to get information from.

You can however manipulate props remotely using Expression 2. The bracketed number is the Entitiy's ID. These two datatypes hold large amounts of information, and can usually contain any form of data or combination of the forms. Tables can hold other Tables, but not arrays. Arrays can hold neither other tables nor other arrays. Arrays and Tables list their data differently. Tables however do not numerically index their data and simply store it outright.

In these sections ill overview each tool, how it functions, what it can be used in creating, and any other tidbits of information you might need. These gates often, instead of manipulating the enviorment around them, give your wire entities information about it. Entity Marker. Tools to be used for finding entities. Beacon Sensor. For your inner geek where you want to display numbers and data all over the place and make things look complicated when you show them to your friends. So by now you know pretty much how everything works, the only question is getting it to work at the right time.

This is where Wire Gates come into play. Gates manipulate the data you put into them based on what they're pre-programmed to do. Gates can be found under Wire - Control. Dont get overwhelmed by the Entity or String gates. These are the most basic of functions. Logic Gates. There's way more things you can do with wire, Especially if you get skilled at coding Expression 2.

Expression 2 is essentially creating your own gate to maniupulate any inputs or outputs how you please. There will be a followup guide detailing how to use Expression 2. I've created it's own guide detailing how to work it. Killerluigi91 29 Sep, pm. Is there a tutorial to make a prop spin around an area in a cycle? Spongy Sponge 12 Dec, am.

Sorry pal I would be just as lost as you. If I recall there was a keyboard controller entity somewhere in the wire items that you could use to map almost any key press by a player when connected but I didn't experiement with it much, and this was also several years ago. If it's not there, hit F5 to refresh. Right click the task, and press Run.

You should see a cmd window in a split second. You'll never need to think of updating the wire repository on your computer. Learn Wiremod is a website that aims to teach you all the different parts of Wiremod.
