New sign types

[RowanFN]

Hey,

Few ideas i would love you to include!

1. override sign - if this is activated then all receivers on the channel are also activated despite other connections going to it from elsewhere, or in a better case, deactivated, and no connections can go through until this sign is unpowered.

2. Time sign - with some plugins you can /time to get the current time (1pm, 2pm etc) would be good to have a signal activate when it hits the written time stamp.

This is a great plugin, i love it, but would love more to make some projects i'm doing even more amazing!

As always, I'm here to provide some workarounds in the mean time:

Override Sign - This one is a great idea, and can be semi-created using redstone and a fairly small space. Simply create a reciever on one side from the switch/power source channel, and direct redstone to a sign with a transmitter to your output channel. Then, simply replace a piece of redstone in the middle with a block, put a piston on top pointing down, and attach a reciever with your override channel.
This workaround is obviously far harder than just using an "override" sign, so it's worth looking into, but I think this would be better named the "blocker" or "intercepter" if it is for disabling channels only.

Time Sign - This one is a bit easier, but you may have trouble being precise. For just detecting day/night, a day/night detector will do fine. For more fine tuning, place a comparitor with a string of redstone coming off it. At the point that matches the time you want, place a repeater. Place another just after. Now do the trick above, with the repeater with the time you want on the input side, and the repeater just after on the blocker.

These are viable workarounds, but I'd love to see them being implemented fully in future versions!

Thanks,
Jack
