Any chance of a combination input/output block? #35

Closed Tkdmaster closed 8 years ago

Tkdmaster commented 9 years ago

Hey there! Apologies if this is not in the correct place, but I wasn't sure where else to post this.

My question is, is there any chance a combination block could be implemented in? Alot of machine factories in GregTech need both inputs and outputs from 1 machine, and its rather difficult to try and free up more sides of them with limited space/other automation of item piping around with this. The ability to both output and input from 1 block would be immensely valuable I would think.

I'll consider this for a future version, it should be pretty easy to code but i'm not sure how to make it non-awkward to use (it would need 2 filter slots, so either a GUI to set them or some form of multiple clickable areas on the block, and maybe separate redstone control? etc...)

Well...I think a gui could work nicely, but not sure if you're wanting to implement any more of those, considering most things in the mod don't have/require one. If not, then I'd say maybe use the wrenching functionality work independently on the faces to reconfigure the block sides? So say...if you use a wrench on the top, you can toggle it form input to output, etc.

About the GUI, consider an interface like how EnderIO Item Conduits works when you configure them to In/Out mode, there is a little arrow where you can switch between the two different GUI (altough they aren't so different).

Took me a bit less than a year (sorry... :P) but implemented in this build http://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/pressure-pipes/files/2280379
