area triggers correct linking

[Ephelemi]

This is just a smaller issue or maybe a bug but I noticed that area trigger computers link to other logic blocks the wrong way round. Normally I set the block master that gives a signal not the one that receives. But i have to set the area trigger module as a slave to another block that I want to give a signal to. This also leads to wrong colouring of the area trigger block when it is given a signal which makes no sense because it is in passive.

1. The area trigger works like a lever, when you walk through and back out it changes the state, but keeps it when you leave the area. Hence it actually doesn't have a 'right color'.

2. You don't connect logic to an area trigger, you place an activator right beside it, somewhat like Minecraft's comparators and command blocks.

I agree with kiddan.
Having area triggers on while something is inside would be much more useful though.

You can use logic blocks to decide which area trigger got activated as last one and how long it has been since then (for automated doors).

I dont really know what you mean by your automated doors but I prefer such that open upon entering an area and closing after a set timespan from either side no matter how much more input signals are triggered and i found a solution by using one area trigger connected with both sides, two activation modules, some delays, a negative and an or module. Its not that I dont know how to use them, I just think theyre a bit confusing because their colour can be changed from the outside despite them not being able to receive a signal? Why cant they just work like every other logic block? Or am I missing something?
