Checker
Description
The Checker is a device in Gimkit Creative. Its description says: "Trigger actions depending on certain conditions". The Checker is a device that runs up to five comparisons between an item amount, property value, and score value and a number. It takes up 35 memory. It relays signals to wires and channels based on whether the check(s) passed or failed. The Checker was released on May 19th, 2023 along with the Tag Zone, shortly after Gimkit Creative's release. The Checker's appearance is a blue device base with a blue line up to a blue rectangle, which contains a seesaw between a larger and a smaller circle. The checker, like most devices, is non-collidable in-game, but the base of the device is collidable with the player in the Gimkit Creative Editor.

| Tab | Type | Setting Name | Default | Setting Description (in-game) | Setting Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Featured | Text Field | Check when receiving on | Empty | Run the check when the device receives a signal from the selected channel | The text field is for channels. The Checker will run the check(s) when it receives a signal from that channel. |
| Featured | Text Field | When the check passes, transmit on | Empty | When the check passes, the device sends a signal on the selected channel | The text field is for channels. The Checker will relay this channel if the check passes. |

| Featured | Dropdown | Number Of Checks | 1 | Run up-to 5 unique checks | This is the amount of checks it can run. The minimum is one, and the maximum is five. |
| Featured | Dropdown | Pass Condition | All Checks Must Pass | In order for the device to transmit a pass, do all checks need to pass or just one of them? | If the selected option is "All Checks Must Pass", all the checks that have been run must pass for the Checker to count as a success. If the selected option is "Any Check Can Pass", that means that if one check passes, the Checker will count it as a success. This option is only visible if the Number Of Checks setting is not 1. |
| Check #1-5** | Dropdown | Check Type | Item Amount | Select what you want to check for. | If the option selected is "None", all options within the tab will disappear except for that one. No check will be conducted. If the option selected is "Item Amount", the item's total within the player's inventory will be used for comparison. If the option selected is "Value Of Property", a value of a specific number property will be used for comparison. If the option selected is "Score Amount", the player's score on the leaderboard will be used for comparison. |
| Check #1-5** | Dropdown | Item | Empty | The item whose amount to check for. | This will determine the item that will be used to conduct the comparison for that check. This option only appears if the Check Type setting is set to "Item Amount". |
| Check #1-5** | Text Field | Property | Empty | The name of the property to check for. The corresponding property must be a number to work properly. | This text field is for Properties. The selected Property will be used for the comparison. The property has to be a number for the check to occur. If it isn't a number, the check will always succeed. This option only appears if the Check Type setting is set to "Value of Property" |
| Check #1-5** | Dropdown | Comparison | Equal To | How to compare the <Depends on Check Type>. | This option says what comparison is going to be performed between the IAVPSA* and the Value. If the setting is set to "Greater Than", the comparison checks whether IAVPSA* is greater than the Value. If the setting is set to "Equal To", the comparison checks whether IAVPSA* is equal to the Value. If the setting is set to "Less Than", the comparison checks whether IAVPSA* is less than the Value. This setting only shows up if the setting Check Type is not None. |
| Check #1-5** | Number Field | Value | 1 | The value used for comparison. | This option determines what the IAVPSA* will be compared to. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 quintillion. The arrows on this Number Field increase and decrease the value by one. This setting only shows up if the setting Check Type is not None. |

Trivia
- The Comparison Setting changes its description depending on the check type. If the Check Type is "Item Amount", the description of that setting will say: "How to compare that item amount." If the Check Type is "Value of Property", the description of the Comparison Setting will say: "How to compare the value of the property." If the Check Type is "Score Amount", the description of that setting will say: "How to compare the value of the score."
