r/Terraria on Reddit: Announcement Box colours not working?
March 30, 2021 -

So On me and my friend’s world I’ve set up little Day and Night announcements for fun. And I’ve set the hex code up so it should be the Event colour “[c/32FF82: ]”

However it doesn’t change the colour!? And I don’t know what’s wrong! Any help?

March 27, 2017 - Put a faulty lamp on top of both those regular on/off lamps. Now, wire a single wire from the switch to all four lamps and don't use same wire color as you used for wiring gates to the boxes.

Announcement Box :: Terraria General Discussions
June 4, 2016 - Hey, I've just crafted my first Announcement Box and am trying to enter a text which would show an item plus colored text. But apparently, the game only interprets the first format instruction from the left. So if I enter two [...] sections, the latter one is not interpreted.

r/Terraria on Reddit: Announcement Boxes
October 11, 2021 -

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me here. I have a teleporter connected to an announcement box so it reads out every time someone teleports. I want it to say “‘blank name’” teleported to the arena” depending on who did it. So if I teleport I want it to read “Brianna teleported” and if my boyfriend does, I want it to read “Josh teleported”. Is this an option? I can’t figure out how to insert names. Thanks!

Depending on what "many" and "instantly" mean, something like this is possible.

Here's a setup that can activate exactly one of the two announcement boxes in it in what I expect is 2-3 ticks from when the lever is pulled, although I am not an expert on Terraria's logic gate timings. It could be chained together to give more outputs, although each layer would slow down the process slightly, giving an overall delay based on the logarithm of the number of outputs (or linear with the number of layers).

The important materials, besides the signal source and the outputs, are an XOR Logic Gate, 2 additional Logic Gates of any type to be used as Faulty Gates, 2 Faulty Logic Gate Lamps, at least 5 normal Logic Gate Lamps, and wires.

These are assembled into:

  • A faulty logic gate that has 1 On Lamp and its Faulty Lamp.
  • A faulty logic gate that has 1 On Lamp and 1 Off Lamp, and possibly more if you want to weight the chances towards one side, plus of course its Faulty Lamp.
  • An XOR gate that has two lamps attached. The lamp states do not matter.

The faulty logic gate with three or more lamps (counting the Faulty Lamp) is the source of randomness. When the Faulty Lamp is activated by the red wire, it has a chance of sending a signal to the yellow wire. If the yellow wire signals, it will trigger the announcement box on the left and prevent the XOR on the right from sending a signal. If the yellow wire does not signal, the green wire from the unconditional faulty gate will trigger the XOR.

The unconditional faulty logic gate, also triggered by the red wire, is needed to line up the timing of the wires leading to the two lamps on the XOR gate. If the red wire from the lever led directly to the top lamp, it would result in the XOR gate always immediately signalling the blue wire whenever the red wire activates, before the yellow wire has a chance to activate.

The random source could be weighted either towards the left output with more ON lamps or the right output with more OFF lamps. If you wanted 3 outputs with equal chances, you could set up a 2/3 weighting on the left, then build the 50/50 setup below it, with the left output of the first layer acting as the input of the second layer.

As long as you don't want more than 8-ish outputs, this style of setup should feel reasonably instant to a human.

Wiring experts, please help :: Terraria General Discussions
March 11, 2018 - I think working with pumps and liquid sensor might be a possible idea to solve this. You could let the pump run on a timer and make it so the water needs about a minute to flow back in, activate the sensor again and gets pumped up again.
