Wired Basics
Selectors
Introduction
In this article, you will learn what Wired Selectors do and how to use them in your room. You will also learn a few useful examples.
If you’re looking for information on a specific selector, head to the “List of Selectors” table at the end of this article. Filter Boxes are also covered in this article.
What is a Wired Selector?
Selectors can change who and what furni gets affected by wired. They are a new addition to the hotel, and their main purpose is to allow builders to wire more efficiently. If you ever attempted wiring a big game before the selectors existed and gave up, you can now rest easy.
Selectors can be used to teleport an entire zone of avatars somewhere else, within just one stack. You can also use selectors to manipulate furniture by furni type, or by whatever is on top of another furni in the moment of wired activation, etc. There are many possibilities, so take a look below!
Filter/Invert Options
No Filter
By default, when you add multiple selectors, they act as individual selections.
This means that the switch will toggle anything inside the enclosure, as well as any glow balls in the room in general.
With Filter (2nd Selection)
When you add multiple selectors and filter one of them, they will recognize each other, allowing for more fine tuning.
This means that unlike the first gif, the wired will only select the filtered furni type inside the selected area.
In this case, only the glow balls within the enclosure will be toggled.
Invert (1st Selection) + Filter (2nd Selection)
When you invert the “Furni in Area” selection while the “Furni By Type” selection remains filtered, the wired will toggle any glow balls outside of the enclosure.
Invert (1st Selection) + No Filter (2nd Selection)
When you invert the “Furni in Area” selection while the “Furni by Type” selection is NOT filtered, you can get funky results…
We recommend testing inverted selectors in empty rooms, unless you know what you’re doing.
Examples
Trigger: Furni is Used + Selector: Users in Area + Effect: Teleport to Furni (User Source set to “Users from Selector”)
Trigger: Furni is Used + Selector: Users in Area + Effect: Teleport to Furni (User Source set to “Users from Selector”) + Filter: Filter to X Users
(See table below for full wired breakdown)
1st Stack
2nd Stack
Trigger: Furni is Used
- Set to switch
Selector: Furni on Furni
- Set to pressure plate
- Select “Furni above furni”
Effect: Send Signal
- Select antenna
Trigger: Receive Signal
- Set to antenna
Selector: Furni by Type
- Select furni source: Use furni from Signal
Selector: Furni in Area
- Filter? Yes
Effect: Set Furni Altitude (x2)
- First effect to increase altitude by 1.00
- Second effect to set altitude to 0.00 after 1s delay
- Set both effects’ furni source to “Use furni from Selector”
List of Selectors
Image | Selector Name | Description |
Furni in Area | Selects any furni within a rectangle area. The area can be drawn. In order to make more complex area shapes, add additional “Furni in Area” selectors to the stack and draw the area that still needs to be covered. | |
Furni in Neighborhood | Selects any furni in close range of a user or another furni. The range can be drawn. | |
Furni by Type | Selects furni in the room that matches a selected furni. | |
Furni with Altitude | Selects furni with matching altitude. | |
Furni On Furni | Selects furni on top of a selected furni. | |
Furni Picks | Selects the furni manually selected by you. Example: Useful if you want to use one specific red circle out of 100 other red circles for different wired effects. | |
Furni from Signal | Selects the furni transmitted to the stack through antenna signal. | |
Users in Area | Selects users within a rectangle area. The area can be drawn. | |
Users in Neighborhood | Selects any users in close range of a furni or another user. The range can be drawn. | |
Users by Type | Selects users matching a specific avatar type: Bot, User, Pet. | |
Users from Signal | Selects the users transmitted to the stack through antenna signal. | |
Users in Team | Selects users in a team. | |
Users by Action | Selects users currently performing a specific action. | |
Users by Name | Selects users matching specific usernames. | |
Users on Furni | Selects users on furni. | |
Users with Handitem | Selects users with a specific handitem. | |
Users in Group | Selects users who belong to a specific group. | |
Filter to X Users | Restricts the number of users affected by a selector.Example: If you have 20 users in an area and want to teleport 10 of them to another place without bias, the filter can be set to 10 users. | |
Filter to X Furni | Restricts the number of furni affected by a selector.Example: If you have 20 furni in an area and want to use wired to move just 5 of them into your Falling Furni arena, the filter can be set to 5 furni. |
