Wire Pod / User suggestions

[andy1976uk]

How about being able to actually input data into pods, perhaps via the Wire User STool? I'm thinking this could be useful for remotely controlling vehicles/weapons with pods/VCUs etc. I think it'd also be useful if we could use the physgun while in a pod, optional of course. Additionally, could it be made so Wire User can connect to things via actual wired connections and not just via beam?

Use AND/OR gates

He wants so you can control pod outputs, just put OR gate that has input from pod control, and from external control, and that should work

Not really what I meant TBH

The only thing you could use this for is for the 2 vehicles (airboat and buggy) and it has been suggested before.
For all other creations you use a pod-controller for, it just requires the OR gates on the outputs so you can control it with anything else also. Or an if-then-else gate if you want complete remote control.

What you have actually made a good idea about, is the physgun within the pod, this would be almost impossible to replicate in a contraption, and could have some uses to it. But mainly you would never need it for contraptions, and it would propably **** up your garrysmod if you tried to move a prop that is welded to the pod.

Also you can make a turret with a wire-grabber or wire-user that is connected to the pod and aims where you are aiming. Make them grab or use with a press of a buttom.

And also you should try not making so many threads about ideas on the same day, when you could have made a thread with all the ideas in one. This is propably why BP is a little frustrated with you.

I know, I mentioned it again because I thought it was a good idea and because there'd apparently been no movement on it. Seems it was pretty much ignored when it was last mentioned.

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

I considered making one big thread with everything in it but the individualized thread approach seemed more organized and more likely to get feedback, at the time.

OK, I'll try a single thread next time.
