hear me blab :blah: about how to make aerial faith plates, and more, i have barely seen people do this where they toggle on/off but here you go

with 4 entities only being used and around 6-10 outputs on buttons or catapult

1 prop_dynamic, 1 block(trigger on trigger_catapult), 1 target , 1 button/switch

I see carve tool, please fix that! :thumbdown:
Faithplates can just be added on a 8/16 grid size, and then the floor CLIPPED out.
Also I would make the trigger surface smaller, that's also what happens in game, it just feels a bit better that you need to be on the thing, rather then slightly touch it before being launched.

oh and things you forgot:
* faithplate sounds
* an invisble texture inside the faithplate to prevent people and cubes from falling into the faithplate.

Using the clip texture to remove the floor instead of carve.
Carve is very buggy and can cause a lot of trouble when you change the size of your brushes for example. Clip is a bit more work but it will totally pay itself off in the end.

Tl;dr clip > carve.
