How to release solid, sticked to frme?

    So, i can't find the way to "unstick" solid from FRME.

    The idea is using PSTN with FRME to take some solids, move them forward, then live them there and go back to the starting point, and take the next part.

     

    Is there any way to solve the problem?

     

    I tried to use a "gasket" of breakable materials, then break them with pressure at the end point. But it's too hard to make a working model this way.

    The easy way to do this is to set the tmp of the FRME to 1, in the console just type !set tmp frme 1 or use PROP tool. This is just a special mode FRME has where it will push things but not pull them.

    Something I also did was using CRAY(SPRK), and sparking this CRAY with PSCN. This will just go right through things and delete them.

     Jacob, settind FRME's tmp to 1 will not allow FRME to pull particles, but it's a necessary thing.

    I'll try to make that thing, you've told with CRAY, but i think it's not what i'm expecting of it.

    PSTN (tmp 0) = pushes and pulls. PSTN (tmp 1) = pushes.

     Hittox, thanks, but it isn't the solution, because i need to make this thing, as i said, cyclically and without any manual operations. Take-Pull-Release-...-Take-Pull and so on

    Well then the command block idea does have a new use :D

    you could use 2 pistons with tmp 1 but acting in opposite directions

    you can erase the FRME and recreate it 1 px higher (with CRAY), then FRME will be detached from your solid and you can safely pull it

     Mniip, i think it's the only way to make it, thank you.

    Use CRAY to delete the FRME to stop pulling, and later on, use CRAY again to create FRME at the point where the PSTN ends. Basically what mniip said, and the only way I see to solve this problem apart from using 2 pistons which requires more work and is inconvenient.
