Need player detection stuff

Post by Tami »

Actually you can use gates to check if players are near the gates, but other detection source would be nice too allow this without gates.

Example for a walking path crossing a trainroute. If a player is inside an area, the train signal keeps red.

Actually you can use the gate as such a detector.

But, well, a sensor only for that would make sense, eventually.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

Hm. I think he wants something more like an infrared-sensor.

It would need player move event as described by devs here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=34556
