Hello,
My idea is to have pistons given the power to push computers, monitors and other stuff in CC. I was planning to make a pop-up tv at the bottom of my MC bed but then I realized pistons can't push them!
This would be great as people could make all sort's of hidden computers and monitors and would look really cool on secret bases.
Thanks for reading and I hope you take my idea into account.

Due to technical limitations of the minecraft games engine tile entities cant be moved around by pistons this is why some vanilla blocks cant be pushed too. It would be possible to work around this but I dough it would happen.

I think we should first concern ourselves with actually being able to move CC objects at all. if you use frames it crashes… once they can be moved maybe piston functionality can follow

Pistons can't move tile entities. Thats a fact. if it's not changed by Mojang, it won't work ever.

as I said it is possible but a lot of work.

It was with frames, right? But frames don't work with computers, they break their programming.

Could Dan200 talk to Eloraam to find out how she implemented frames moving tile entities?

does the floor move or the entire room? as long as the PC itself is not moved it is fine. you can see that the whole room is made out of frames….

The hole box moves pulled up or down by the track of motors on the wall controlled by a computer at the top. the lift computer has a program that send a number into a bundled cable behind it this controls the computer at the top and the lifts movement. the lift computer moves with the lift as part of it it doesn't loose its program or its face direction.

awesome. I was using tekkit at the time. maybe that is the issue. unfortunately I am on the latest version of MC now so I cannot load RP2. Will test asap though. thanks for the update

I had no problems with frames and CC computers in 1.2.5 (same version of rp as BigShiny)
I had made a flying (frame) oil rig that was CC controlled, and the only things the frames seemed to dislike moving were BC pipes.

Frames aren't pistons, so the existence of frames does not mean pistons can push tile entities. It would be possible to do, but it would be an entirely separate mod to CC.
