This invention is useful if you want to spawn a pink, or your favorite color, vehicle without clicking the spawn button over and over.



As you can see, upon pressing the button, the truck will continuously cycle until you turn off the lever, thus preventing the spawn button from being clicked.
 * How to make this:

First, create a manual override (click the link to show you how to make one) then next to it, place one button and a signal delay. Connect a wire from the button's output to the input (left side) of the signal delay. Connect a wire from the output (right side) of the signal delay back to the same button. Set the signal delay preferrably to the max (12) as you will have time to react if the vehicle color you're looking for spawns in. Then, using a wire from the manual override, connect that from the output of the signal delay to the AND Gate input. Place the second button somewhere in front of the output of the AND Gate. Using the same manual override gadget, connect a wire from the output of the AND Gate to the second button. Connect a wire from the second button's output to the vehicle spawner. Turn on the lever and click the first button. Now your vehicle will keep on spawning until you turn off the lever! If you are confused, post it in the comments and I will reply back when I can.


 * Bugs:


 * Server lag will cause a problem as it would cause the wires' signals to last longer, which makes multiple ticks appear in the signal delay as well as spawn the vehicle multiple times in quick succession, which could potentially make you miss the vehicle color you're looking for.
 * If you connect a wire directly from the output of the AND Gate to the vehicle spawner, it will break the spawn button, making the spawn button unable to be clicked on until you move the vehicle spawner or reload your file.
 * Other notes:

I cannot make something that detects if a pink vehicle has spawned and then the circuit will be automatically turned off. You have to manually turn off the switch, so you'll have to wait and not do anything for a while or else you'll miss it. If your reactions are slow, you can add more signal delays connecting to the first one.
