	The '''decider combinator''' is part of the circuit network and one of four types of combinators available in the game (with the other three being the [[constant combinator]], [[arithmetic combinator]], and [[selector combinator]]). It is used to make comparisons of signals on the network. ~~Signals can be compared using the following:~~		The '''decider combinator''' is part of the circuit network and one of four types of combinators available in the game (with the other three being the [[constant combinator]], [[arithmetic combinator]], and [[selector combinator]]). It is used to make comparisons of signals on the network.

	*"is not equal to" (<span style="color:#00FF00">!=</span>)

	~~As shown in the picture below showing the GUI, the signal on the left is being compared to that of the right.~~

	~~[[File:decider_combinator_gui.png\|350px\|GUI of the decider combinator.]]~~

	== Function ==		== Function ==
	The ~~internal logic process has three steps:~~		The decider combinator allows specifying a list of conditions on the left side of the GUI and a list of outputs on the right side of the GUI. Generally whenever the conditions are satisfied the outputs are activated.

	~~# Values for each individual input signal(s) (items~~ of ~~the same name) on the red and green wires are summed within the combinator.~~		A condition consists of a "first" input signal, a comparison (>, <, =, >=, <=, !=), and a "second" input signal or constant. Additionally, for each input signal the input wires to read the signal from can be specified. If both red and green are checked, the input values are summed.
	~~# The decider combinator GUI specifies~~ a "first" input signal, a comparison (>, <, =, >=, <=, !=), and a "second" input signal or constant.
	~~# If the comparison returns true~~, the ~~output is one or more signals with a value of 1 or~~ the ~~unchanged input value(s)~~, ~~or a single signal carrying either a sum of~~ input ~~signals or the number of passed tests~~. ~~([[#output_table\|see table below]])~~

	~~The decider combinator can handle [[Circuit network#Logic signals\|logic signals]]~~.		If more than one condition is added, it is possible to change the connection of those using the logical operators AND and OR. An AND condition will result in true if all terms are true. An OR condition will return true if at least one of the terms is true.

	~~Further notes:~~		Each output has the option to specify a constant value, or to take the input count from specified wires. If both red and green are checked, the input values are summed.

	* Using the Everything output with "Input count" will pass all non-zero input values to the output as long as the condition is true. Using the Everything output with "1" will output 1 ONLY for all non-zero inputs.		The decider combinator can handle [[Circuit network#Logic signals\|logic signals]]. <span id="output table"></span>The following table shows how different combinations of logic signals can be used:
	* The ~~Each input will re-apply the comparison for each input signal individually, and will pass the selected output for each input that passes the conditional.~~
	* The Everything input functions as a logical AND, and will return true only if ALL non-zero inputs pass the conditional, and returns true if there are no inputs at all (so "everything ≠ 0" always passes).
	* The Anything input functions as a logical OR, and will return true if ANY non-zero input passes the conditional, and returns false if there are no inputs at all (so "anything = 0" always fails). If used for output, Anything will return one of the signals ~~that matched~~.
	* When "Input Count" is selected the output will match the input for the selected signal if the first parameter is not Each. If the first parameter is Each then "Input Count" refers to the value of the input signal that is currently being iterated, so the result will be the sum of all inputs if the output signal is not Each. If the output signal is also Each then every input signal that passes the test is simply forwarded while those that fail the test are discarded.

	<span id="output table"></span>The following table shows how different combinations of ~~the first input parameter and the output~~ can be used.
