This would be a really cool logic button.

It could be used for a controller that controls a multi directional rail cart or something

It could also be really cool for role play where say you have to hold down the switch to close a hangar door where enemy ships and invaders are spewing in and if you let go, the door will start opening. :D

Just an idea for the devs

You can kinda already do this... with area trigger or a presure block... if you want you could wire in a button with some logics to make it where you have to press it so often or the doors open again...

You can do that with area triggers or step-ons in a narrow corridor.

But I agree that modding support should be added.

callbackObject
   listenTo( x, y, z )
onChange
   lastActivated = timestamp
   enableBlock( x, y, z )
   addTimedTask( +t, doTask )
doTask
   if( lastActivated < timestamp -time ) disableBlock( x, y, z )

Yeah i realize you can already do it with other logic blocks, but its just the feel of having one that would be cool

Area trigger is toggle based, so it doesn't detect when something exits (I seriously wish it would). You'd need two area trigger layers to detect entry/exit, but that doen't work in some situations (cause it takes more space). I'm unsure about step-ons.

True. either fix that or just add the .... modding support.
