Channel

When one device needs to “talk” to another device, it does so by transmitting a signal on a specific channel. The receiving device needs to be set up to receive the signal on the same channel.

A channel is identified by a number, and channel numbers are customized for a device under the option that uses the channel. Most devices will also pass the identity of the player who triggered the device with the signal.

This device has receivers that perform a variety of functions when receiving a signal over a channel. Also, this device can transmit signals when certain conditions are met.

Receivers

Option	Value	Description
Enable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel number	When receiving a signal over this channel, enable the device.
Disable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel number	When receiving a signal over this channel, disable the device.
Set As Current Checkpoint When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel number	When receiving a signal over this channel, set the checkpoint as the current player for the target. The race won't start if it isn't active. This device will only function if the player hasn't already passed this point in the race. Also, this option ignores vehicle checks.

Transmitters

Option	Value	Description
When Checkpoint Completed Transmit On	No Channel, Pick a channel number	When a player passes this checkpoint, send a message over this channel.
When Checkpoint Becomes Current Transmit On	No Channel, Pick a channel number	Transmits a signal on the selected channel when this checkpoint becomes the next checkpoint players need to pass.
When Checkpoint Becomes Current for the First Time Transmit On	No Channel, Pick a channel number	When this checkpoint becomes the next checkpoint that players need to pass for the first time, send a message over this channel.
