Using Channel Devices

The Channel device is a simple relay, with only one event and one function. It works much like a Trigger device, but it is easier to connect multiple devices using one Channel device.

When you have complex connections between many devices on your island, using a Channel device instead of multiple Triggers could simplify your setup.

Here are some ways you can use the Channel device:

• Streamline connections between one group of many devices and another group of many devices.
• Swap different devices connected to the Channel device to test different game mechanics for your island, or test multiple player actions.
• Replicate the previous channel system instead of using direct event binding.

To find the Channel device, go to the Creative inventory and select the Devices tab. From there, you can search or browse for the device. For more information on finding devices see Finding and Placing Devices.
