Button assembly

Post by Sarah_U. » 08 Jul 2016, 13:24

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allows for the construction of buttons and their naming.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It'll allow for more engineering diversity, more possibilities for the crew and overall improve the existing system.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
A button assembly is built with metal.
Installing it requires the following steps: Place on the wall, screwdriver, crowbar floor (If method #1 or #3 is taken), coil, signaler (If method #2 is taken), wirecutter, screwdriver.

How to link (NOTE: Up to dev team):
- Method #1: When the wiring is done a wiring point is placed on the floor much like APCs does... From there a wire can be connected to the mechanism in question to turn it on/off by default.
- Method #2: Signaler is inserted inside the assembly, allows for the button to emit a signal each time its pressed on the setting it's on.

Sidenote is... I don't quite have a proper LOGIC IDEA on how to link the button without just giving a tool in the chief engineer' hands to link everything to a button... Though that could also be an idea.
You're free to give out ideas on how you think this should work, but mostly the assembly would be really nice with a signaler if signalers could be added to everything. At least, you can attach em' to doors!

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

You can trigger wires with remote assemblies. There is no reason for button construction considering everything that requires a button is hard coded.
