/tg/Station 13

New sensor type: Impact.
Uses:
1. When something steps ontop of it, trigger.
2. When thrown at a mob or a wall, trigger.
3. When a concussive force goes off nearby, IE: grenade or explosive, trigger.
4. When launched out of a pneumatic cannon, trigger.

This would mean that you could make bombs or grenades who's fuses start when thrown at a wall or object, stepped on, when another explosion or flashbang goes off nearby, or when shot out of a pneumatic cannon.

Using a wrench directly on the sensor allows you to tune the required pressure.
Setting 1: Any force
Setting 2: Must be at least as heavy as a hulk, or a vehicle, mech, pneumatic cannon, etc, or launched out of a mass driver.
Setting 3: Only large creatures stepping on it and explosions

seems cool

>trigger when launched
Disgusting, I want my multi-shot impact grenade launchers.

Having them activate when stepped on seems a bit redundant, considering we already have mouse traps for that.

I wake up in the morning, triggered
I go to school, triggered

Mouse traps can't tell the difference between different pressures, so the assembly would go off no matter what if it were a mouse trap. If it were an impact sensor, however, you could have it trigger only if a hulk or a vehicle goes over it, or such.

Also I guess mode 3 could trigger when impacting something too? That way it doesn't trigger when launched out of a cannon but it still triggers if it hits something.

Welp

This has been suggested before - I even think someone may have tried to code it, not sure though.
