I need help learning how to make the complicated ones that are multistate.

see this link, it has a pretty useful tutorial
the rule table must be in code tags when posting on forums, just like the rle

edit: made wording a bit clearer :)

But I want to use these rules in the life viewer.

That... doesn't change anything? I followed those steps for making rules in my thread.

But I want to use these rules in the life viewer.

you can either put the rule table after the pattern, like this:

Code: Select all

x = 166, y = 3, rule = RuleName
A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.

or make the lifewiki page Rule:RuleName.
I hope this helped! I have so much fun making (absolutely useless) rules, it would be a shame if another person couldn't use theirs!
