Make Wireless Logic Better

[Valiant70]

1. Show linking boxes, but use a different color for wirelessly slaved modules.
2. Allow linking to or from multiple wireless blocks on different entities.
3. Send out wired AND wireless signals when receiving either wired or wireless signals.

Number 1 should be added, number 2 is technically possible, and I have no idea what you mean by number 3.

I have no idea what you mean by number 3.

1, 2, and 3 are wireless modules on different entities.
1 is slaved to 2, and 2 is slaved to 3, like this:
1<-2<-3
Now I activate 3 with my hand. 3 activates 2, but 2 does not activate 1.
1<-2<-3
I think 2 should activate 1 as well when I activate 3:
1<-2<-3

Just use another block....

No.

I think this would be doable, and would cut down on the number of blocks necessary for logic circuits which I am always a fan of.

iirc, in the devbuilds with wireless logic, you could link more than one wireless block to eachother. However this resulted in universes breaking, entities bugging out and several other issues.

Also, 3 is pretty much the same thing as 2. Wireless logic block connected to and from more than 1 wireless 'home'

It's a wireless block sending out a wireless signal instead of ONLY a wired one. The result may or may be the same, but it's not really the same thing.

Come to think of it, I'd really like to be able to link two wireless modules on the same entity together without those annoying rainbow lines. The lines are practically useless to see how a contraption actually works anyway. At best they tell you which pieces belong to a contraption, and even that doesn't hold true if there are multiple gizmos in a single space. I almost wish all logic was handled by block rotation and adjacency, and the rainbow things were part of a specific "wire" or "data line" block for bridging gaps. Then the structure of something would tell you its function too.

Nuuuu, don't make logic work by block face! If people want you to see how something works they would make it easy to see.
