Pressure plates
In your recent edit to the DF2010 pressure plate article, you stated that a creature stepping onto a pressure plate, off of it, then immediately back onto it would generate a second "on" signal before the first "off" signal - are you absolutely sure this is what's happening? From my own experience, this sort of thing does not happen using liquids, otherwise a partially submerged pressure plate linked to a gear assembly would become desynchronized (and lots of examples of mechanical logic illustrate that this doesn't happen). --Quietust 18:31, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
- To clarify, the understood behavior for liquids is that the pressure plate "turns on" when the condition is satisfied and "turns off" once the condition has been unsatisfied for 100 ticks, and it only sends on/off signals when its state actually changes between on/off. If this is not the case, then it needs to be clearly stated in the article, since it is directly contrary to what most people would expect. --Quietust 19:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
