[1.16.5] contraption capabily to use redsone

Describe the Suggestion

durring my time tinkering with this facinating mod, I found myself in a picke where no mater what I do a deployer keeps placing a block when I dont want it to, the issue is prbalay because of the lack of acive redstone intitragion into the system when the parts are moving.

No response

Additional Context

imagine this: Im buidling a machine that works in 2 parts, a part that allows for a contraption to move from a platform, and a second contraption that will raise that platform when the main contraption is doceck; the first contrapiton being a rail placing drill that places rails and a BLOCK for sed rail as it dirlls, the second contraption working as a means to raise and lower the home platform the main drill rest on when the first contraption is not engaged, problem is when move the lift platform, that block that serves as the means for placing a block for the fist contraption will still place it, and thus ceating an isseue in jaming the lift

while this is theoredical sounding, this is something I managed to acomplish, and this issue with not being able to turn something in a contraption off with avalable redstone is the only thing that is hindering it.

as an unrelated note, it seems that the cart assembler acts as a block that cannot move for various reasons and will break on others, It would be nice of this can be fixed

Create blocks themselves don't interact with Redstone when part of contraptions, because contraptions can't nest, and thus have certain rules apply to parts on them. Redstone that isn't in Create blocks works fine (I checked). You could try to stop the contraption at certain points or times (part speed is dependent on cart speed), or use more, smaller contraptions.

well if regular redsone could be used, could you consider adding it to deployers so that way a redstone singal can turn them off if the want to cease fuction? it would be useful in some situations

why, a verticale placement will place things when you dont want it to, like with my contraption that acts as a lift for a drilling platform, issue is that it will place the rail level block when its moving up and down and thats messes things up

so yeah thats why im here making this recomendation

Erikkson is currently working on a system that would allow you to use redstone on contraptions, so I'd bring that suggestion up with him instead.

commented

could you direct them here then? idk how to get out ot them other than here

commented

Nope, you can figure it out yourself, I'm not bothering a random person I don't know about someone else's suggestion.

maybe this can work

@Eriksonnaren I was told to bring this up with you, sorry in advance, idk any other way to get to you other than this, hope it gets though
