Delayed Airlock Assembly Pack

After using the default airlocks as provided in the Barsuk and Typhon and deciding I didn't quite like either, I set to designing my own. The ultimate product was this rather simple set of delayed-door systems.

Buttons open and close the corresponding door as normal UNLESS the opposite door is already open, in which case that door is closed first and then, after a slight delay, the intended door is open. This prevents both doors from ever being open, even partially, at the same time while also ensuring that the user never has to press a button more than once to open the door at hand.

Delay times can be altered either in the subeditor or during any normal game round via interaction with the exposed delay components.

Obviously, these door systems are mostly intended for use as airlocks, with at least one door against the water. There are six (6) assemblies in this pack: a mirrored door system, a door-and-hatch system, a door-and docking-hatch system, and windowed versions of each. The docking hatch versions allow hatches slaved to docking hatches to be used like normal airlock doors while still functioning as docking ports. These versions force the hatch shut when anything is in range for docking.

These are all currently fitted to the Typhon 2's top airlock and bottom docking hatch, but naturally can be adjusted in the subeditor to fit your sub or module.


Any and all constructive feedback or requests are appreciated.
