From what I see Rocket Turrets from Portal 1 are useless as turrets do almost the same thing so I suggest making a hole that activates what's connected to the hole when a rocket hit's it or a rocket button so they are unique.

The intention is to add breakable glass which can be destroyed by rockets, like in Portal 1. It might also be useful to have some sort of rocket sensor though, maybe with the ability to have a timed output.

Not really sure how that would be visually depicted.

Maybe some sort of Electrical Box?

Maybe a fizzler, like the radiative flux rectangle.

Why not just have the flux rectangle also detect rockets, like it detects projectiles. It could even detect futbols being thrown through it.

That could work. Those are all physics objects and are specific entities, so they can be detected with triggers and it's easy to filter for them.

Actually instead of modifying the RFR to a projectile field I think it can keep its energy ball niche and add another sensor for test objects (cubes, futbols, rockets, etc) #2122

For rockets at least, I think they should still activate flux fields rather than object sensors. The problem with having them activate object sensors is that it restricts what you can do with cubes and rockets in the same map, since either can activate the sensor. Using the flux field instead for rocket detection would fix that problem, and I think it's a lot less likely that you'd be using rockets and HEPs in the same map.

I like having flux fields detect rockets.
