Description

Made with help of the Scrap Mechanic Mods community: https://discord.gg/qxFUd3j

Please make regular backups of your worlds as this mod may in some cases crash the game and make the file unloadable.

Update 8

- Fixed the mod to work with new versions of Scrap Mechanic. (FINALLY)

This mod makes it possible to send data between contraptions in limited radius. This is especially useful if you want to send data locally for example on an automatic intersection or garage door.

How to use

To use just place the send & receive block, paint them the same color and BOOM you have a working short-range communication. To check if the receive block is connected to the send block just connect the receive block to any logic block (light, logic gate etc.).
To send data you will also need the input & output blocks. Connect the input block to the send block and paint it to set a channel. Then connect the output block to the receive block and paint it the same color as the input.
To change the range of the receive block (16 blocks by default) click [E] on it. To see the value open /console.

Update 1

- Custom range - press [E] to change. Open /console to see selected value.
- The default range has been changed from 12 to 16 blocks, old creations will automaticly be set to 16 blocks, but you can change that manually.

Update 2

- Max range increased to 32 as requested by players.

Update 3

- Updated range system - Dynamic step size, and bigger max range - 128 [ for those who need more ;) ]
- Minor tweaks and bug fixes.

Update 4

- FIXED IT!

Update 5

- Send blocks can now be turned off by connecting a logic input to it. Only if the logic input emits a signal, the Send block will be active.

Update 6

- New textures of the parts.
- Updated connection (dot) color.

Update 7

- Fixed some bugs.

Update 8

- Fixed the mod to work with new versions of Scrap Mechanic. (FINALLY)

Thanks for Xesau for help with the mod and the

Todayn this is not working :
When you place a input and send blocks, you can't join them.

I get an Error in the latest beta. if I place a receiver block, I get the following error:

[Lua] ERROR: On "server_onFixedUpdate": [string "...../Scripts/Receive.Lua"]:126: attempt to index field "shape" (a nil value).

Would be glad if you could fix the problem
