I'm trying to make a system, where you insert an object (Eg, an iron sword), and it triggers a slow flow of an item. I am trying to make a custom map for my friends.

Thanks,

(Hah, you actually thought I'd sign my posts?)

Edit: 1000th discussion. :o

what do you mean, "a slow flow of an item"?

Like, every few minutes, an item/items go through a tube.

Get a Timer, you can set it to send out a redstone current at a set interval, which can be pretty long. Just point it at a transposer which is pointed at the chest of items.

try redpower timers. you can set some pretty long delays on those. if it's not enough time, use a timer and a counter to wait for multiple ticks

As far as detecting an item, you could set up the insertion system with redpower tubes, with a filter that only allows your 'key' item through. When the key item goes through, I think you might have to switch to buildcraft pipes and use the one that sends out a signal when an item passes through it. The signal could be hooked to a toggle switch with the timer and counter setup like freakachu suggested. Maybe there's a way to do detect items with strictly redpower tubes, but I'm not entirely sure.

You don't have to switch to those pipes, you can also use an item detector
