ETRD Question

  • Naetrimus     19th Sep 2022 Member 0 Permalink

    I'm trying to make multiple combustion chambers, and I wanted to use electrodes as the ignition source. I was wondering if there was a way to make electrodes only arc between a specified pair. So, if I have 2 pairs, I only want each pair to arc between themselves, and not every available electrode pixel.

    SPRK(ETRD) always jumps to the nearest ETRD pixel; hope this helps.

    Yeah, and then it chains to the next nearest one, which is a problem for me, because that chaining will destroy what I'm trying to make. I could get around this by using INST to spark the ETRD at the same time, but that's not really the functionality I want.

    You can block a plasma arc from reaching a certain ETRD pixel by puting a pixel of INSL directly in the center of the space between the 2 ETRD pixels you want to block from each other.

    That's perfect, thank you.
