Talk:Activator Rail

If someone has an alternating line of powered rails and activator rails, with no detector or normal rails in between, will a redstone current at one end power the entire thing or does the current only go through rails of the same type? 70.35.98.102 20:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Currently (13w03a), only one rail will get activated, whether you start with a powered rail or an activator rail. I expect this will stay this way, since it allows you to control different aspects of the rail separately.

Good to know, thanks. 70.35.98.102 03:16, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Does the activator rail only turn hopper minecarts off while they're on it, or does it turn them off until they hit another activator rail? --Droideka30 21:22, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

A powered activator rail deactivates hopper minecarts immediately and permanently -- until they pass over an unpowered activator rail which activates them again (a deactivated hopper minecart is not affected by passing over subsequent powered activator rails). A hopper minecart passing onto an unpowered activator rail is also activated immediately, and can thus even pick up items before the activator rail as soon as it begins to pass over the activator rail.

Where's the video on this page? -- Numbermaniac - Talk^(C) 03:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

An unlogged IP has been objecting to this term. I'm open to alternatives, but there should be something to introduce the concept that minecarts travel easily on various rails and not easily on non-rail blocks. Suggestions other than simply deleting it?

Also, there are two sections under Usage: Rail and Redstone component. The rail section is intended to discuss how the activator rail transports minecarts like other rails, while the Redstone component secion discusses how the rail acts when activated or not activated. That an activator rails ejects occupants is only one of a number of actions discussed under Redstone component behavior, and does not belong under the Rail section.

Conversations belong on talk pages, not in edit summaries.

The dismounting location is now predictable. See the fix and comment here.

The sounds for fall damage, jumping from the block, falling on the block, and walking on the block all use the sound for the block that it is placed on.

I literally just removed 1 sentence and the graph below it converted to a mess of text, I open the editor to fix it and it shows nothing wrong. If someone could fix this or tell me what is wrong with it, I'd be thankful. – Unsigned comment added by Flamingkitty the memelord (talk • contribs) at 15 November 2021 (UTC).

Welcome to the wiki! You deleted too much text. The text between pairs of {{ curly braces }} is a template call. In this case it called the template {{Breaking row}}, which generates the beginning of a table, so when you deleted it the table heading was missing and the page generator didn't have the information it needed to format the table properly. You might want to read up on what templates are and how to use them. Also, make sure that you sign your comments on Talk pages (like this one) by typing ~~~~ at the end, or by using the Signature button on the toolbar, depending on what editor you're using. (Also, please don't use ASCII art on the wiki. It doesn't display correctly on all systems and could look like an error.) — Auldrick (talk · contribs) 03:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
