The Powder Toy

Any Ideas on making a one-way wall?

    Basically what is happening is my laser is bouncing back into the barrel and frying the inner wiring. I need a way that the beam can go out, but not come back in. Any suggestions? The laser is here:

    Where is it bouncing?

    EDIT: I usually do it like this. Make it bounce in any direction (except back into the laser) and then place VOID at the places it bounces off. Then use the decoration layer to make the DMND and VOID black, like I did here:

    Press CTRL + B to see what I did.

    That's what you mean?

    What i mean is that when i cut a piece of metal, it will bounce back before it is able to cut the entire block.

    Oh, you mean that... I've tried using PIPE, but it seems that the photons cannot pass through it.

    You have to place the inner circuitry inside of a material that does not conduct heat, and also where photons can't pass through it.

    If you're using powered clone, abuse the fact that powered clone can be activated just like spark, skipping single pixel spaces.

    Alright catelite, I'll try that then tell you my results.
    Edit: cannot get it to work D:

    use a bit of PRTI and PRTO so the laser goes into the PRTI, and comes out the PRTO and cant go back. Although i cant remember if that resets the temp or not.

    I tried that, but the photons lose their direction when coming out of the PRTO.

    EDIT: I think I found a working way. Will post it within a few minutes.

    All you have to do is cover the PSCN/NSCN with INSL. PCLN can be activated through INSL. :D

    It bounces back, but doesn't break the lazor (lol).


    Also, nice laser. Clean cut and very hot.
