About DoomGuy's Hardpoint Pistons

From mod.io

Have you ever wanted to make your own retractable turrets? Well now you can with these hardpoint pistons.

If you would like to support me and the work that goes into creating these mods that would be greatly appreciated:

This mod adds 2 large grid pistons that are 1x1x1 which are designed in a way so that you can place a block inside of the piston which effectively allows you to make retractable turrets. If you think I should make any variants of these pistons then please let me know in the comments.

Note:

These blocks deliberately do not have collision on the sides (there is collision on the bottom) so that blocks can be placed on the piston top part and not summon the wrath of clang. When placing blocks on the side of the hardpoint pistons you need to look at the bottom of the piston in order to place it as this is where the only collision mesh is.


Current Pistons:

- Hardpoint Piston 2.5m

Min: 0.0m
Max: 5m

Size: Large Grid - 1x1x1

Issues:

- I've not been able to figure out how to get the build stages working for the hardpoint pistons so these are not necessarily survival ready but can still be used.

- WARNING HIGH CHANCE OF CLANG... for now.
