/vr/ - Retro Games

For those with experience mapping for Quake or Half Life, how would you feel about triggers, doors, buttons, etc. being integrated into a logic gate system? Ignoring entity limits, of course.
I think it would make a lot of things easier because you could forgo setting up dormant triggers in many cases and there would be less reliance on counters. It would also be easy to setup a debug mode with visible gates that change color depending on state and particles drawing the link between them.
