    Lightbulb Pressure pad

    I think there should be a wire pressure pad. You know, like a scale that outputs the total mass of whatever stands on it. It could be one of those siren/ranger models, which can be linked to a prop to serve as the scale. I think this is a very good idea and was personally surprised it's not there already. This would be a really nice thing to at least have in the UWSVN, if not in the official Wiremod SVN.

    This has been done using hydraulics etc, it will NEVER be precise... You can say: findinsphere..:mass, but thats be just wrong, sure you can detect if there is something on the pad, but it would need to be a physical sent (2+ props )

    I know, what I'm saying is you can make a sent/stool that IS precise. You know, like the Conna's Tools pressure pad, only wired and not binary (off/on.)

    It's been made before, but not in wiremod. If I remember correctly, there is a pressure pad in Conna's tool pack. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make one for wiremod, but probably won't be commited.

    I like this idea.
    A wire pressure pad that outputs the weight of the object(s) that are on it.

    how about non-wired pressure pad plus numpad input?

    how about a REAL solution?

    I think this is needed and should be put into the official SVN. There are few workarounds and none of those lazy admin excuses not to.

    in short: DO WANT

    Think of the possibilities in making traps and factories!!!

    EDIT: Wait, this is a scale, not a touchpad. Whoops, wrong idea. Scales can be made currently but not touchpads.

    Figure out what THIS does:

    Just make one with hydraulics...

    In fact, I think Beer's first contraption (first post I belive) was a wired scale. You could scale (no pun intended) that down and make a handy pressure pad.


    [19:16:47]Client "rcdraco" spawned in server
    [19:17:10]rcdraco: hamburgertime
    [19:18:04]rcdraco was killed by worldspawn
    [19:21:50]Dropped "rcdraco" from server

    I made a scale weighting stuff in melons. It used wire. Deleted dupe though as the ballsocket failed at dupe at dif location.

    You could use e2 with find in box and :mass(). Very easy indeed.
