switch with tweakable strength.

Archive: 11 posts


ever wanted to change the strength on a 2-way switch? now you CAN!

i was looking at an object from the collector saga, the iron cage (the one your friends are all locked in) and i noticed something about the switch, it had a hinge in the middle of it. when i tweaked its strength setting, it actually changed the amount of force necessary to pull the lever!

i tried adding a hinge to a regular 2-way, but it didn't work.

its fun, if you set it high, like 8-10, it takes more then one sack to pull it

ill get pictures later. its 3 AM in my time zone EDIT: i swear ill add pictures eventualy.

This sounds really neat, I can see people using it for multiplayer puzzles where three people pull one switch (because it's very hard) and one player does something else...2009-09-19 16:21:00

Nice find! This is much like the tweakable laser from the MGS turret, it should be very useful. I'll need to find it and play with it later. 2009-09-22 15:45:00

Nice find
Could be useful for people who can't squeeze in/don't want to take up space with other mechanisms like the "and" switch.
