I'm trying to come up with a way to organize the logic enities into an equivalent of an If else statement in hammer. If anyone has any pointers that could help, please post.

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

A logic_relay thats fired on whatever represents true, another thats fired on whatever represents false? Or maybe disable the first one on false, enable the second, disable second on true, enable the first, and try to trigger both in each case?

It really depends entirely on the situation. I imagine a logic_branch or a logic_case could work.

logic_case may also help you

I do my science from scratch.

Err yeah I meant logic_case, not logic_relay.

I figured it out! Here is the result. It may not be portal at all, but it worked.

Ah, the old "multi stop elevator" exercise.

It's a good multi stop elevator. I'll give it that. It changes light color depending on which floor you're on and looks really good.

The thing is it wasn't built from any tutorial. Made from scratch.

This uses an entirely different system than the tutorial on the vdc has.

I didn't say tutorial, I said exercise. It's a great way to learn how to use complex I/O setups.
