[Concept] Digital Display

Description
This is a concept map not a puzzle. Look for actual puzzles in my workshop:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198025774815/myworkshopfiles/


This is a concept for a digital display that I came up with. I still don't know if I'll use it, but at least I built it for posteriority. =D

The display uses flip panels and a vast array of laser emitters and relays in order to display the numbers from 0 to 9. You can access the "behind the scenes" of the display via a small corridor to the right of the entrance and get an idea of how it works.

I know it isn't probably the best way to make a display (i.e., it isn't a low-entity solution), but there's always room for improvement in the future, should I actually use it on a map.

As always, any feedback is welcome.

number 6 is busted for me. PTI's aiming for the lasers can be twitchy. Beat you on the laser pathing by a good margin.

i like what you did here. seems like a lot of lasers and cubes for such a simple process. and i think i broke the zero. lol it worked the first time but then looked like a backwards C. ill show u a pic.

6 worked the firsrt time but then it would just give me the three horizontal lines after that... dunno why. the rest worked fine. awesome concept, not sure how practical it is though...

@ Geneosis

Thanks again for the feeback.

I think I found a way to decrease the number of laser cubes in the contraption, I'll post here a note when I've updated the map.

Nice method here, really elegant laser path ^^ And you're lucky that the laser cubes are still working...

The method I tried (bud failed because of laser cube bug) was to align laser cubes in the direction of the receptor that "print each bar". Then I placed a laser emitter for each bar of each number X) It worked for numbers 0 to 4, but then the bug broke all the mechanism ^^"

Will add this to the Map Creator Tools collection too ;)
