Need sensors

You should realize I mentioned only the data types already used by TPT. It already uses 1-byte integer, 2-byte integer, and 4-byte integer, 4-byte single precision floating point, for various parts of TPT. Type is a byte data. Temperature is a 2 byte integer in the save file (and a floating point value internally). Color is a 4 byte integer.
So yes TPT already uses all 4 data types mentioned. -
If this were to be implemented. I'd personally make the following changes.- using a separate layer with sensors being non-particle/non-wall objects one particle in size. (like signs)- each sensor is automatically numbered (the numbers being shown when the sensor tool is selected or if a "Always show sensor option is ticked")I'd do away with logging in binary format and instead log in plain-text following a csv like format.You should be able to open it up in a spreadsheet program with little effort.eg.TPTD/1.00, 0, 0, Sensor Modified, 192, 482, 0, 1, Temperature, Pressure16, 1, 0, 100, 19332, 2, 0, 100.2, 392== The first three numbers aretime in ms since sim creationframes since sim creationsensor numberWith a list of values for the items being measured (eg. 163, 592)OR the following, for sensor modified/created eventsliteral. "Sensor Modified"X coordinate of sensorY coordinate of sensorMeasurement period in msMeasurement period in frames- For measurement periods, 0 = not used, one of them must be non-zeroList of items to be measured (eg. Temperature, Pressure)
