I want to design a system in which I can build highly complex systems made up of lots of smaller Common Components. I took a shot at this with the Elevator Systems last year, but I was too focussed on getting the script system working well. So in the elevator system almost every component is running a custom script -- the Sensors, the Doors, the Buttons, and of course the control computer. I now believe I can build almost any system for Subversion out of a few standardised components -- specifically Sensors, Actuators, Emitters, and Controllers. Sensors detect an object or event in their zone -- such as Motion, Proximity, Heat, Light, whatever. Actuators are basically motors, and move other objects around. Emitters are things like lights, lasers, speakers. And finally Controllers are the computer systems that make everything work -- and these are the only objects that really need custom LUA scripts.
