The Powder Toy

Earlier today, I was playing a ton of minecraft mods, and from Buildcraft, i came up with this idea.

Gates

If you use PROP with a new "Gate1" option on gold, metl, pscn or ppip* you would set it to a number to give the action, and use the next option "Gate2" which would set the output: sprk, heat, cold, pres (pressure). After those two are set, you set "Gate3", the arguments.

*Ppip only has one gate2 option, sprkp, where it outputs to inwr

Example

This is only an example

Gate1=plro Player online

Gate2=sprk It will start sparking

Gate3=robsob It will spark when the user "Robsob" is online.

An example for how ppip would work

Gate1=sens Senses what is in the pipe

Gate2=sprkp Outputs to inwr

Gate3=dust When dust is in the pipe, it outputs to connected inwr

Feel free to blow this out of the water, it's just an idea, and could be changed a lot.

1st example will never ever work. How to check whether the user is online? Interactive element is not allowed.

Second example is not very good. I'm sure you'll implement things like these:

Gate1=temp Gate2=sprk Gate3=1000 where METL gets sparked when a particle nearby has a greater temperature than 1000K

But TSNS does everything.

I said on the first one is just an example. If anything, I didnt want it added. It was a simple example of the format. But I dont get what you mean in the second statement.

although this would be cool, it is very difficult for newbies to understand and very complicated, so probably won't be added.

EDIT: you just gave me an idea...
