timer tick question.

Post by impetus maximus »

i found that you can make timers with a constant combinator set to out put a signal T (for example) of 1.
wired to a decider combinator set to T < [number of ticks], output T input amount. decider wired to self.

now, if i want an event to happen every 30 ticks lets say. do i use 30 on the [number of ticks] or does it have to be 29 or something?

thanks
