Automatically reloading catapult - logic help

[Falaris]

Hi guys!

I have made a catapult.
To the side of the catapult is a rail filled with bombs.
There's two gates around the last tray before the catapult arm, we'll call this the chamber.
To load the catapult, press G to tilt the rail, and press B to open the gate from the chamber to the catapult.

To load the chamber, press G to tilt the rail and N to open the gate to the chamber.

I have set up a camera to detect if there's bombs in the chamber.
There does not seem to be a (reliable) way to have a sensor tell if there's a bomb in the catapult arm.

Press X to fire.

THere is also a second tray of bombs, press R to tip them into the first tray, for a total of 11 bombs.

This machine is campaign standard - no mods, and is built within the limitations.

Also, press C to lower the carriage wheels and enable it to move around. (arrow keys).

I want to code logic gates so that I can press L to have the thing automatically load the catapult instead of the - fairly meticulous - key combinations to load it currently.

How do I make that? In particular, I find sorting the timing out difficult. If the sensor detects a bomb in the tray, there will be a small moment where it doesn't detect one. In the guides it suggests using a timing gate, but it doesn't say a word on HOW to use that.

What is the effect of clicking on the input keys to change them from regular to slightly crossed out?

Did you edit the detection range / radius of the sensor, Falaris?

Yes, I did play around with it a bit. The problem is how to trigger a sequence of events without another sequence starting halfway. I ended up wondering if the timers were bugged, because some of what it did made no sense. But, it's a while since I tried it now.

This is the exact thing you want logic wise, I just took it to the next level. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2034333628
