    (Unofficial) Town Wiring Guide

version 1.2

by: Snqwq

based off of the official wiring guide

Definitions and Terms


Wire = any part that is used to connect to other parts using the wiring system
Circuit = a group of wires that are connected to each other directly via groups
System = a group of circuits that are connected to each other via signals
R1 = repeat 1
R2 = repeat 2
Img = image id
Color = part color

Important Notes


Texture transparency must be -500 or 500 for the game to recognize it as a wire


Img must be set to any number not between 0 and 10 because of some backwards compatibility stuff (i suggest setting it to 999 if u don't want sound)


circuit must be grouped to be recognized as a circuit


Important commands and keybinds

commands

!wc to update wires on a plot to (non editable) functioning wires
!uwc to revert wires on a plot to (editable) non functioning wires
keybinds

shift + g to group selection
shift + u to un-group selection
Usage

R1: wire type
R2: wire setting (like tween speed or logic type)
Img: used for sound when activated
V: value of a setting (like R2 = 2 would be R2 V2)
Color: used to separate wires into channels
Wire Types (R1)


start position

Description: the start position of a tween
R2: tween to end position speed
Img: sound id to play when activated


end position

Description: the end position of a tween
R2: tween to start position speed
Img: sound id to play when activated


send signal

Description: sends a signal to all receivers of the same color
Color: channel of the signal


receive signal

Description: receives a signal from a sender of the same color
Color: channel of the signal


force signal type

Description: outputs a single type of signal
R2: signal type:
 1 = negative when activated

 2 = positive when activated

 3 = negative when deactivated

 4 = positive when deactivated

 5 = negative always

 6 = positive always


shoot gate

Description: activates when shot
Img: sound id to play when shot


touch gate

Description: activates when touched
R2: touch type:
 1 = activate when entered

 2 = activate when exited

 3 = activate when entered or exited


monitor

Description: interact to view cameras of the same color


camera

Description: camera to view from a monitor of the same color


logic gate (a bit more complicated)

Description: outputs a signal based on the input signals
R2: logic type:
1 = or gate (a || b), a or b must be true to output true

2 = and gate (a && b), a and b must be true to output true

3 = not gate !(a), a must be false to output true

4 = nand gate !(a && b), a and b must be false to output true

5 = nor gate !(a || b), a or b must be false to output true

6 = xor gate (a !== b), a or b must be different than each other to output true

7 = xnor gate (a === b), a and b must be the same as each other to output true
