LOGIC System

[Zet0rz]

A system that registers LOGIC objects similarly to ENT and PANEL objects. Should support defining custom logic objects, that each have a set of inputs and outputs, as well as Initialize and Think functions. Logic objects should be able to be enabled and disabled. Should be able to be tied to an entity, or be a "floating logic unit" (which is purely run by code). Should be connectable to other Logic-enabled entities or units.

Overall Logic system:

• [x] LOGIC registration
• [x] Base Logic metatable
• [x] Instantiation of Logic objects
• [ ] Enabling/Disabling
• [x] Entity tying
• [ ] Logic sleeping (non-active in Sandbox and outside main game)
• [x] Support ENT-defined Logic (built directly into entities themselves)
• [x] Support LOGIC tables basing themselves on another LOGIC table (LOGIC.Base = "logic_class")

Logic unit support:

• [x] Unit settings (with defaults)
• [x] Connection handling
• [x] Argument handling (binding argument to connection)
• [x] Dynamic arguments (using output to pass along the input argument)
• [x] Caller/Activator arguments (passing responsible player and logic unit along chain reactions)

Logic unit creation, networking, and connection now works! They act like our very own custom object type! :D

local LOGIC = {}

-- These are only used for UI; any output can be connected (you can make secret code-only outputs this way)
LOGIC.Outputs = {
    "UponPrintA", "UponPrintAnything"
}

LOGIC.Inputs = {
    ["Print"] = {
        Function = function(self, activator, caller, args, ...)
            print(str)
            print(type(str), str == "A")
            if str == "A" then print("Firing output") self:Output("OnPrintA", str) end
            self:Output("UponPrintAnything", str)
        end
    }
}
