Pressure Lockdown Protocol

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
NEW FEATURE:
//////////////////////////
Program now automatically sets Font Size, Font, Color, and Content Type, for LCDs. All you need to do is name them, now. (It's strongly recommended to use some variation of corner LCDs).


PURPOSE:
****************************************
* Prevents undesired space walks by sealing doors between rooms that are pressurized and rooms that are not.

FEATURES:
****************************************
* Closes all doors in a room when it depressurizes.
* Checks the balance of pressure between adjacent rooms.
* Locks doors between rooms that have different pressures.
* Prints pressure status of room and adjacent rooms to LCDs at each door.
* Switches to emergency lighting if a room is depressurized.


SET-UP:
***************************************
* Build rooms with air vents, doors, lcd's, and lights as desired.

* Place a Corner LCD or Flat LCD Top or Flat LCD Bottom on either side of each door between rooms.
* IMPORTANT: Set LCD font to Monotype, and font size to the smallest setting possible.


* Set up lighting to include lights that you want to turn on when the room is pressurized and lights that you want to turn on when it is
depressurized.

* Rename all blocks to include SECTOR TAGS associated with the rooms that they are in. (See NAMING CONVENTIONS below).


ACTIONS:
*****************************************
*OPTION 1: Vent Triggered:
* Set up vent actions in each room to run this program with the following arguments:
* ACTION 1 (100% pressure): CheckDoors <SectorTag>
* Example: Vent S01, Action 1: Argument "CheckDoors S01"
* ACTION 2 (0% pressure): CloseDoors <SectorTag>
* Example: Vent S01, Action 2: Argument "CloseDoors S01"

*OPTION 2: Timer Loop:
* Set up a program timer to run this program without an argument.
* WARNING: This will not automatically close doors.
* To close doors you will still need to put the 'CloseDoors <SectorTag>' argument into ACTION 2 of every vent.
* You could also close the doors by other means, like linking vent ACTION 2 to door groups.

ARGUMENTS:
***************************************
* CloseDoors <sectorTag>
* Set this on the second action (depressurize) for the sector's air vent.
* This closes all doors in the sector.

* CheckDoors <sectorTag>
* Set this on the first action (pressurize) for the sector's air vent.
* This checks the pressure in adjacent rooms, and locks doors to rooms of unequal pressure.
* Also displays the pressure differences on designated LCDs.

* OverrideDoor <sectTag1>_<secTag2>
* This is an optional command.
* If a door is locked because of unequal pressure between two sectors,
this will depressurize the vents in both sectors, and unlock the door.
* An underscore '_' is REQUIRED between the sector tags in the argument.
* BAD: OverrideDoor S01 S02
* GOOD: OverrideDoor S01_S02

* ResetOverride <secTag1>_<secTag2>
* This is also an optional argument.
* If Depressurize has been set to On by the OverrideDoor command, this will restore Depressurize to off for both sectors.
* An underscore is also required between the sector tags in this command.

* OpenLock <sectorTag>
* This argument is for exterior airlocks and hangars that you may frequently want to depressurize.
* Locks and hangars will need two extra components:
* Vaccuum Vent - Placed on outside of station.
* Only need one per station.
* Should have its own special sector tag (default 'X0X')
* Lock Timer
* You need one dedicated timer for each hangar or airlock.
* Include respective sector tag in timer's name.
* TIMER ACTIONS:
* Call this program with argument "OverrideDoor <sectorTag>_<vaccuumTag>"
* Open exterior doors of hangar/lock

* CloseLock <sectorTag>
* Closes an airlock that's been opened.

NAMING CONVENTIONS:
***************************************
* Rename all vents, lights, doors, and pressure lcds involved with this script to have SECTOR TAGS corresponding to their particular room.

* Suggested tags: S01, Sector1, SectorA, Room1, R01, etc.
* Do not include spaces in sector tag. Use underscores if needed.
* Bad: S 01
* Good: S_01

* VENTS:
* Air vents just require one sector tag.
* Example: Vent S01

* DOORS:
* Doors require a sector tag for both of the sectors they connect.
* These sector tags should be separated from eachother by a [Space].
* Order of tags does not matter
* Example: Door S03 S02
* <<IMPORTANT>> The first part of the Door name should be only one word, i.e. not include any spaces.
* The tags need to be the second and third words in the door name.
* Bad: Sliding Door S03 S04
* Good: Sliding_Door S03 S04

* LCD's:
* Like doors, LCD's need to have two sector tags, but here the order does matter.
* The first sector tag represents the sector that the LCD is actually located in.
* The second sector tag represents the sector on the other side of the door from this LCD.
* Example:
* LCD S03 S02 is located in Sector 3 next to Door S02 S03.
* On the other side of the door is LCD S02 S03, which is located in Sector 2.
* This script is designed for Corner LCD's as well as Flat LCD Tops and Flat LCD Bottoms.
* Probably works with regular LCD's and Text Panels as well.

* LIGHTS:
* Lights that change based on pressure need to have sector tags followed by a [Space] and a LIGHT TAG.
* Default light tags: "w" and "r".
* Light tags can be changed in the CONSTANTS section of the script.
* Light tag w is for lights that will be on when the room is pressurized and off when it is depressurized.
* Example: Light S01 w
* Light tag r is for lights that will be off when the room is pressurized and on when it is depressurizd.
*Example: Light S01 r
* Light tags do not have to be followed immediately by a [space]
*Example: Light S01 w13
* If you want a light to remain on, whether the room is depressurized or not, then do not include a light tag.

* ADDITIONAL:

* All tagged blocks can include your own personal tags after the sector tags.
* Example: "Door S04 S03 OMC"
