Action groups

Michael Wilmes shared this feedback ago

One challenge I have had is trying to get different types of blocks to trigger on the same sensor. It would be nice if one could create a group of actions, similar to creating a group of objects. In example, I would like to open one set of hangar doors at the same time as I close another. I can make two groups- one for each door set- but then I need two sensors with overlapping areas to trigger each action at the same time.

I like this feedback

Have you tried using timer blocks? Sounds like this would be exactly the block to solve your problem.

Timer blocks are an option, but I think that an action group would be cleaner. As an example- say I want to trigger one set of actions on entry to a sensor and a different on exit from. This takes two timer blocks and a sensor, and the timer blocks have a minimum delay. My suggestion would only need the sensor and have no delay. Timer blocks have value, but generalizing the list of actions would make it more flexible and useful.

I feel that being able to group actions like we can blocks would be more utilitarian, but the timer block does fill this role perfectly. Although I'm sad that I have to give up a block space to do this...
