allows you to control one or more pistons
indexing of pistons goes from 0 to (getPistonsCount() - 1)
component name - pistonController

methods:

• pistonController.setLength(index:number, length:number) - sets the length for a this piston
• pistonController.getLength(index:number):number - returns the length set for this piston
• pistonController.setVelocity(index:number, velocity:number) - sets the velocity for a this piston
• pistonController.getVelocity(index:number):number - returns the velocity set for this piston
• pistonController.setForce(index:number, force:number) - sets the force for a this piston (default: 100000)
• pistonController.getForce(index:number):number - returns the force set for this piston (default: 100000)


• pistonController.getPistonsCount():number - returns the number of pistons connected to the controller
• pistonController.isPistonAvailable(index:number):boolean - returns true if there is a piston with this index
• pistonController.getMaxVelocity(index:number):number - returns the maximum speed available for the given piston
• pistonController.getMaxLength(index:number):number - returns the maximum length available for the given piston
• pistonController.getMaxForce(index:number):number - returns the maximum force available for the given piston (256 piston: 10000000, other pistons: 100000)
