SWTCH error, need work around

    I am using SWTCH in one of my creations, but I run into a problem. The way electricity flows through the switch causes one section to have a half second delay when compared to the rest of the save. This causes a huge problem since the speed of switches turning on and off is key.

    Is there a way to even out the flow of electricity through a switch so that it reaches all sides at the same time?

    To observe my issue, create a square of SWTCH about 8 by 8 pixels wide. Send a spark through the right side near the middle and have to receptors on the top and bottom.

    uhh no not really, using a lot of SWCH will cause this (strange turning on speeds from different sides). A SWCH will always turn on instantly from the left top pixel (after a reload). maybe you could rearrange it a bit to turn it on from the top left.

    I am using a decent amount. I decided to just change the frequency of the sparks depending on the direction they need to go. It works now, but it would be great if large amounts of SWCH did not have "strange turning on speeds from different sides".

    Use 1 px SWCH.
    You really need 8px swch.

    Yeah, I mean, you don't need such a big switch.

    One thing with switches (sorry for off topic kinda) but could we have it so that if PSCN and NSCN are both sparking the switch it goes off. This would be great for creating small reliable NOT gates

    For my purpose, I do. The 8 px SWCH doubles as GUI. If I were to remove the large switch, the size of the circuit would increase as well.

    wouldn't that ruin a few saves... But i do like the idea of NOT ( or logic gates in general) gates being reliable.

    all ways use one px if you can also be shure that the wire that forwading spark to pscn/nscn is 2 px away
