Gate Classification System

Please use these colors (you can copy&paste this) for your posts:

Gate Classification ideas of yours, but not the first of yours in this thread. (size=5 + fat)
Notes (size=4)​

You can post any classifications you find like this:

NeonSturm's "Easy Gate-Size"
(classification system)

1. Number of digits of smallest inner diameter ={ (0= bacon), (1=0..9), (2=10..99), (3=100..999), ...}
   
2. Most significant decimal (the first one) of the smallest diameter (0 for a bacon with no inner diameter)
   
3. -
   
4. decimal = ratio{ (0 = 1:1), (1= 2:3), (2 = 1:2), (3 = 1:3), (4 = 1:4), (5 = 1:5), ... }

• Example (99 * 100) = 29-0
  • 2 = length(99)
    
  • 9 = most significant(99)
  • 0 = closest ratio(99:100)
• Example (100 * 150) = 31-1
  • 3 = length(100)
  • 1 = most significant(100)
  • 1 = closest ratio(100:150)

1. Advantage: all gate-classes have equal length
2. Easy to do standard-gate sizes
3. You don't get distracted by less significant parts of huge numbers.
4. Numbers look cool

Quote source-x [green/red/yellow colors added by "MyName"]
I like this thread, I hate cats, water is blue, I love it because the user before loves it, more random text...

Green : like
Red : dislike
Yellow : invalid argument

As it is a lot shorter with many arguments in a quote. Why else do we have colors? ​

I will be completely honest, I cannot understand any of the things you post when you format it this way. All I see are equations that have no meaning. I think the interpretation is lost on me and possibly some others.

Haha, at @NeonSturm really likes numbers. That being said, I also don't really know waht he is talking about. I think I get the main idea, that gates are classified by by their biggest diameter and heir hight? I'm not entirely sure, so an explanation would still be nice.

True

By their smallest diameter. The width / height ratio is a number (the third one).

NOTE: Added more details to my classification. Can't understand peoples with no math :p

All I want is the ability of area triggered gates instead of a 2d loop as an option. Could also be used to make wormholes. Wormholes that are obvious because there are a ton of module blocks nearby but a wormhole all the same.

Loops are not wrong, but they are more efficient on longer (thus bigger) ships. Just give them area trigger texture and make them non-physical in StarMade/data/config/blockConfig.xml
