Suggestion: A setting where levers from jukes' togglelevers stay pulled for as long as a relevant person is in the zone

[GavJenks]

Instead of just pulsing for 750ms upon entry as they do now. The pulse makes a lot of sense for block placement etc., but is rather unintuitive for entry/exit and makes a lot of things one would want to use the north lever for very difficult. Especially since there's not even an exit pulse, so you can't achieve this even with complicated handmade circuits.

The player movement listener is already listening anyway, so shouldn't really add much lag to do the reverse check of "was not in a zone now is" + "was in a zone now isn't"

Specifically, pseudocode: log in or walk in = lever turns to on state, log out or walk out AND nobody else relevant is in the zone now = lever turns off

Got a use case?

Sure, off the top of my head:

• Library style motion sensor lighting where only the room you're in lights up but turns off when not needed

• Much less annoying doors, don't need to sit and wait for each door to open on a pressure plate, can just have your bio signature when you're in the vicinity open all the doors for you (using blacklist namelayer groups)

• You could use it to achieve smaller zones of effect than a normal juke has, by requiring 4 different jukes to agree using AND gates before something happens, in order to more precisely pinpoint a person and make something more locally relevant (like only when you're inside a building but it's only 4x4 inside and a juke is too large otherwise). As-is, the first juke would turn on and off before you hit the second one, but with on-until-you-leave, the AND gates / boolean combos become very doable.

• Another boolean example: with just a 1 column overlap of 4 jukes, a piston elevator pushes me up exactly when I enter it and no sooner or later.

• When a bad guy enters my chest room, shoot arrows REPEATEDLY at him by keeping a clock on the whole time instead of just the once, but still turn off properly after (cartoonish example, but you get the idea)

Thanks for reminding me that this is on my wishlist as well, your examples cover my use cases too.

Originally my concern was that it's not possible to distinguish someone standing inside the field vs. several players entering it at once, but it's possible to have the redstone output strength indicate the number of present players (just 0-15 but that's enough most of the time). This effect can be easily turned into a full on/off behavior as you described by just adding a repeater to it.

I'd recommend starting the signal at strength 4 or 5, just to give it some "wiggle". Still have 10 degrees of strength after that point, which practically speaking is sufficient for any further use.

Could even have modes.. if you want to get complex ... linear grading of strength or logarithmic :P
