Entangle

Activate Prompt Entanglement and perform actions on a slot using prompts from another.

Syntax

entangle ITEM
:targeting ITEM

Activate PE

While the Cursor Glitch is active, you can switch tabs in groups of 3 to keep the glitch active. Therefore, conceptually, when you activate a slot, all slots that are 3 tabs apart can be considered activated as well.

This action is simulated by the entangle command.

# Targets the Pot Lid, and activates that slot, as well as all slots that
# are 3 tabs apart
entangle pot-lid

While a slot is activated, you will see a “Link” icon next to it.

Tip

If a slot that’s supposed to be activated does’t exist in a tab (i.e the tab doesn’t have enough items), there will be a phantom slot displayed in that location when in Tabbed View. This is only a visual effect of the simulator.

The effect of the activation will last until the inventory is closed. You can also use another entangle command to change which slot is activated.

Targeting an Item

The second step to using PE is to select a target item that will receive the prompt. The :targeting annotation is used to do that.

# If the item is in an activated slot, you can use the name to select it
:targeting apple
# You can also select the slot directly
# This is useful if you are targeting an empty slot (which can't be selected
# by item name, since there's no item there)
# Note that specifying the first item directly will not work, if the activated
# slot is not in row 1 and col 1.
:targeting <empty>[category=material, tab=1, row=1, col=3]
#          ^ the name is ignored while targeting a slot directly, so it
#            doesn't matter what you put here

Warning

:targeting currently also searches slots that are not activated. If there are multiple matches, you might need to use a Position Property to specify the activated slot.

Finally, in the next command after :targeting, you can perform an action on a PE-enabled slot. If the target item can be reached by the item in the action, the action will be performed on the target item instead.

entangle roasted-endura-carrot :targeting roasted-endura-carrot
drop pot-lid # will hold the roasted endura carrot

Since it can be redundant to activate, then target the same item, entangle will also target the item by default. The command above can be shortened as

entangle roasted-endura-carrot
drop pot-lid # will hold the roasted endura carrot

However, sometimes it might be cleared to write it as entangle then :targeting. For example, during speedrun, it’s usually faster to entangle the source item, to skip resetting the prompt, which means the item to setup the entangle is different from the item to target. However, it’s up to your preference how to write the command.

The effect of :targeting will only last until the next command, but you can use multiple :targeting within the same entangle
