Fix wirelink issues

[Denneisk]

• Add createWirelink to reintroduce creating wirelink outputs
• Wirelink TriggerOutput now sends a table with field wirelink = true to indicate it's a wirelink trigger
• Fixed validWirelink would consider most wirelinks invalid
• Fixed EGP wirelink outputted nothing

Fixes #2940

@Grocel You can check for wirelinks with this just by doing

function ENT:TriggerInput(name, value, ext)
local wired = self:IsConnectedInputWire(name) or istable(ext) and ext.wirelink

Thanks, this is very helpful! Is it guaranteed to be passed with every trigger call that might come via wirelink? I think it could be helpful to pass the name of the wirelink it was coming from as well. Like if it was triggered via "wirelinkA" or "wirelinkB" etc. in case of multiple wirelink ports.

As far as I know, wirelinks are only usable with E2, so this will always exist for a wirelink input.

Wirelinks are just entities and they don't directly retain any information about Wiremod wires, so that's a lot more involved. I would recommend not creating multiple wirelink outputs since they're all the same.

That's fine for my part. I will apply your hint into my addon soon. I am not that familiar with the current Workshop release scheduling nowadays, but I think it will be quite a while until the next "stable" releases. So I will have to account for the older live version as well.

@Vurv78 @thegrb93 Do either of you have anything more to say?

Is https://github.com/wiremod/wire/pull/2941 able to be closed then?

Yes.
