Element idea - CTEC

    Name: Ctype Detector

    In-game name: CTEC

    Uses: Creates a spark when an element with a ctype defined by the ctec's tmp.

    What it does: For example if the CTEC tmp is 1, it checks for an element around it with the ctype DUST. If it finds one, for example STNE (DUST) it creates a spark. It conducts to all conductors.

     

    Another idea: Ctype search. Can be activated upon CTRL+SHIFT+F. Checks for elements that have a ctype that is the element you selected. For example, you have METL selected currently, the element with the ctype metl will be lit in red. To specify - there is DUST (METL) and you have METL selected. You press CTRL+SHIFT+F. The DUST (METL) lights up. But - it lights EVERYTHING with the selected ctype, so if you have SAND (METL) and WATR (METL) on the same screen, they both light up.

    It would also be nice to have a sensor for tmp/tmp2, just to complete the set

    Name: Tmp sensor

    In-game name: STMP (sensor tmp lol)

    Uses: Creates a spark when an element with a tmp greater than its temperature is around it, does not conduct heat. Also creates a spark when an element with a tmp2 is greater than the STMP's tmp.

    What it does: For example if the STMP temp is 25C, it checks for elements around it with a tmp of 25.

    What it does (with tmp2): If the STMP's itself tmp is 66, it checks for elements with a tmp2 of 66.

    To deactivate for all, tmp, or tmp2 sensing, use METL, NSCN, or PSCN. METL deactivates both, NSCN deactivates tmp sensor, and PSCN deactivates tmp2 sensor.

    DTEC already exists it detects anything with it's ctype so your suggested element already exists.

    DTEC searches for particles whose TYPE matches the detector's ctype.
    The suggested element searches for particles whose CTYPE matches the detector's tmp.
    Obviously they are not the same thing
