Pressure plates hysteresis
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:47:56 am »
It's hard to build self-regulatory fluid circuit because pressure plates dribble like a jelly, so I've got an idea! What if pressure plate turns on at for example 6/7, and turns off at 3/7.

I would hope this sort of system is planned. Probably to be implemented in a mechanics related arc.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

I am in agreement with spyton, but only if the initial state is setable at build time-- EG, if the bridge is down when the plate is linked, then the plate raises the bridge.  If the bridge is up when the plate is linked, then the plate lowers the bridge.

Bonus if you can have 2 plates controlling the same bridge, for each condition.
