    Because people who have played the game for a long time knows the game better than new users, they know the game like the back of their hand.

     it will make more wifi chanels! and we can THINK about more uses for LED. Just like change them color of photons, what would let us make different photons type in one line. LED would also be good for making led painels, just like signs, or even for a watch display. "

     

    Im sorry... this is just plain annoying. As I see it, you are just writing down what comes to mind. The way to suggest elements is to give them a great deal of thought first. What you are doing is looking at 2nd page saves and looking for a way to make them smaller and in your arrogance, you fail to come up with a succesfull result so you put a suggestion of an element that will allow you to do what YOU want.

    Basically-"I don't want to put time into my saves so I want a new element that will do what I should be setting my mind to do."

     

    This is the equivalent of suggesting a bunch of walls that allow only a certain element to pass. e.g Water only wall, bizr only wall.

     

    EDIT: Judging from your name, i see it you wont stop suggesting ER... worthless ideas.

    I made them purposefully big, so that people could program it easier. Also, one more thing. If you have only one element, for purposefully turning on R-G-B, won't that turn all of them on?

     

    Switch, Heatswitch and Pump are good options because:

     

    a) Uses your imagination.

    b) It'll do the same thing anyway.

    c) They all won't function at the same time.

    d) It'll be a waste of time implementing it anyway, since these are already there for you.

     

    Edit: oh and PBCN can make brown, PCLN can make yellow also, if that helps.

    Everything possible about why this won't be added has been said on the first page, there is no need to continuously criticize the suggestion and user. This idea wasn't bad enough to deserve it anyway.

    Ok.. let me explain OP's point a little bit better.

    Right now the smallest displays you can do are of a very small density (one display pixel requires a large space).  The smallest I can build with LCRY is about 1/9 density (3x3 screen pixels, not to mention one static color and hard to see)

     

    OP wants an element triggered remotely and only triggers itself, with changeable colors, allowing a 1 density for screens (every pixel can be for display).

    The only problem with this currently is being triggered. A small display of 10x10 pixels would require ALL wifi channels, for an extremely small display. Portal channels can't be considered, they are slightly random.  This would need a better way to control the display before it could be added.

    I can make a script to replicate this function if you want to see how it works.

    This would NOT need four new elements, just one. (or none and make it a script)

    A script would be nice, your scripts are always good.

    Tomorrow I'll try seeing how much better I can do in my mod, It has ANIM (animated LCRY), and I might be able to also do this using separate frames for different colors. I might not have time though.

    Also more Wifi/Portal channels would be nice (new element maybe?)

    You need above 180 exactly where?
    (Plus a bit more with using INST and ARAY properly)
