It would be cool if there were some logic element that acts as a customizable timer.
I think of it like this:

You use it like any other logic element.
It has a trigger A and a trigger B.

And thats how it works: Once A has been triggered , the game waits a certain time interval before trigger B is activated.

The player could choose between a 1,2, 5 or 10 second interval.

(I chose these times because you could reach any possible time by putting several timer elements in a row)

I'm not fit enough in programming to know wether it is possible to create something like that or not.

But it would be really cool.
At the moment one can only simulate a timer by using the movement speed of an animal as a measurement.
But that also means that half of the level is already consumed by the timer system, leaving fewer space for the level itself.

I hope that you get what I mean. ^^

That would make the bonon/enura/whatever timers obsolete, which, in my opinion are part of the ingenious things that can be created in the game.

I don't agree - the addition of logic gates certainly didn't lower the amount of contraptions in the level. You can make a permament trigger with logic gates only, but doing it with gadgets is still a possibility.

Timers would be better if you want the timer to be exactly 20 seconds - sometimes accuracy is required.

Note that the gadget only becomes obsolete when no one uses it ever. And I really don't see these gadgets being replaced or stopping to work properly.

I'm looking forward to it! ^^
