What happened to VCE?

There'd be no point to an add-on that recolors all bricks to yellow when you click them for a second, then go back to their original color. Making a mod to specify which bricks exhibit this behavior is rewriting the event system, anyway. Something like this doesn't replace an add-on, yet it adds a nice feature to the game.

but VCE is the same way
I don't even use it for RPG sorta stuff, most of the time
like once, I was trying to make semi-realistic traffic lights. I gave up like 3/4 of the way through, because I ended up needing to start over, but still, I got that far. I would have gotten absolutely nowhere trying to script an addon to do that myself (and I'd have no luck getting someone else to do it)

You could make traffic lights with default events pretty easily. Relays add a lot of functionality.

afaik there's no way to use relays to determine whether another light is already green or not
but idk, I don't make much use of relays
Caribou:
VCE is still widely used, however it isn't a completely public mod at the moment.

Yes you can.
