Making a Mod

[RexenWolf]

I'm making a mod. A liveable player house (well, I say house, its more of a castle), based on the Dwemer building set. At one point in this underground castle, I have a "boiler" with various knobs and valves, at the moment, only the buttons do anything, and all they do is make noise when pressed (that was fairly simple). The boiler doesn't really -do- anything, yet, its just there for looks and ambiance, I feel it pulls the Dwemer set together, as pipes, pistons, and gears are fairly familiar around Dwemer ruins. What I'd -like- to be able to do (just as a fun little thing while I learn) is have a jet of steam coming out of the boiler that only starts... steaming... when a valve is turned. I've looked everywhere, googled, you name it, I've even checked http://creationkit.com, and have tried everything, but for the life of me, I cannot get the steam to steam when the valve is turned. Any help at all would be much appreciated. (My sincerest apologies if this is on the wrong forum).

I've seen similar things in mods such as Kagrenac's Instant Fortress. I would say look at other mods which have that feature, and see how they did it.
