I had an idea for a new method of getting mine carts to move. But when I tried it I noticed that the moving of the blocks broke the rails. So my suggestion would be to make it so rails don't break when the blocks they are sitting on get moved by pistons.
I also thought it might be cool if pistons could push/launch certain items a certain amount of blocks instead of just shifting them one space over (maybe make it so you can choose between shifting and pushing?)
For some reason, multiple-entity movements are supposedly very difficult to code. Don't ask me why, though, as I have no knowledge of Java whatsoever.
Maybe it could be done via an ugly hack in the code
If block is about to be moved by piston:
If onTopOfBlock(rail) then
{
Destroy(rail[onTopOfBlock]);
MoveBlock;
Create(rail[onTopOfBlock]);
} else
MoveBlock;
Meh... Maybe this wouldn't work and it might look "glitchy" :tongue.gif:
If you read the whole post he wasnt talking about adding pistons and rails. He was talking about making it so rails on top of something moving doesnt break.
I knew that it was a joke i thought that was implied to people who knew what a smiley icon is...

Just some random ideas.
Give a man a fish, and he'll be fed for a day.
No I haven't. This idea was just a passing fancy. But I'll look into it, thanks. ^^
