OCB Electricity Bugfixes - 7 Days to Die (A21) Addon

This Mod fixes some Bugs I found in the original game during the development of my Electricity Overhaul Mod. I've extracted these into its own project, since they also fix some edge-cases with the vanilla game implementation.

You need to disable EAC to use this mod!

Fix 1 - Better power duration support with sensors/triggers

If you configure a Motion Sensor or a Trip Wire to have a power runtime and trigger it permanently, the trigger will constantly turn itself off after the duration and then on again. This fix will reset the duration as long as the trigger is active, therefore only counting down the duration once the trigger is deactivated (e.g. target moved out of range/sight).

Note: I believe this is actually a bug in the original code, since the correct implementation seems to be there, but simply one level nested too deeply inside another (unrelated) condition.

Fix 2 - Don't disconnect downstream triggers forcefully

This Bug can be seen if you connect three TripWire posts, resulting in two actual wires that you can configure. Leave the first one on instant triggers (default) and set the second to have a duration of e.g. 1 minute (also connect some bulbs to see trigger states).

Now if you activate the second trip-wire, the bulb should light up for one minute, but once you walk through the first wire, the second is also instantly deactivated.

Fix 3 - Fix triggers with delay and triggered duration

This Bug can be seen if you connect a pressure plate and set it to have a start delay and power duration to triggered. If you quickly step over the plate, the power will go on after the delay but never turn off. Power should never be on in the first place in this case. This applies also to trip wires and motion sensors.

Fix 4 - Potential bugfix for vanilla power.dat reset

When the save game doesn't load correctly or is aborted too early, the PowerManager will still write it's state to disk, even though it might not have been loaded yet, thus overwriting existing save. Note that this Bug seems fixed with A21, but my fix is still included, as it may add even a bit more protection and it doesn't hurt.
