Iron Gates

[rotund bear]

This would be a weird thing to implement. It'd work as its name implies - an iron door, but in fence gate form - but it'd have an additional quirk, as well. In addition to opening and closing with a lever like an iron door, it'd also stay open if pulsed by Redstone.

The reason I'd want such a fence gate in Nuismatics, rather than some other mod, is simple: It'd make a fare gate rather easy to set up given all the other equipment this mod already has. The pulse-open would make the door stay open when you pay a fare to the depositor, and the normal iron door behavior would allow you to exit with merely a pressure plate on the other side. you would find it difficult to jump the turnstile, as well, since it's a fence gate.

by staying open when pulsed with redstone, do you just mean like a button? that would be cool

Well, I was thinking a one-tick pulse would force them to stay open, while something as long as a button press would make them open and close like an iron door - that way, a pressure plate would allow free exit, while a Depositor would allow paid entry

Bump as I think this could be useful

the pulse-open is too usecase-specific to really be implemented.

Instead, you can setup a piston + redstone block system under the gate (along with a redstone torch to strong power the block under the fence gate) to keep it open until the pressure plate is stood on

but that'd make any fare gate rather large

and I'm not entirely sure the pulse of the depositor is enough to trigger a piston

The design ethos of Create (and Numismatics) is to encourage player-built contraptions.

As such, adding a block for exactly one functionality (fare gate), is not within the design ethos.

[primal mountain]

it is. pistons can be triggered by zero-tick redstone pulses, a one-redstone-tick pulse (which depositors and observers output) is sufficient

[rotund bear]

there's still the problem of size

I can see how you'd be able to make one fare gate using traditional Redstone components. it'd be 5 m wide, about as deep, and finnicky as hell.

that's lame.

[digital notch]

Wouldn't you just be able to make a Create door then

Just make it need the depositor or whatever

[spare oasis]

I think it'd be possible to hide the guts under the floor

Then you could have turnstiles

[primal mountain]

I've got 4-wide tiling working, and can probably get it down to 3-wide tiling (which is the narrowest that makes sense, anyway)

[abstract kayak]

One could use a mod like Project:Red or MoreRed to make things a little more compact with their redstone wires that go on any surface.

I might mess with that.

Later though

[rotund bear]

their new ICs are… weird

not big enough for use last time I checked
