Clangware Script (Grid-Virus)

Clang comes. This is Clangware; a script designed to bring Clang's mischief to a grid of your choosing. The intended usage of this script is for role-play/scenario/sabotage.

You can get the Anti-Clangware (Anti-Virus) script that counters code like this here:

This script subtly and randomly breaks things; causing weird things to happen to the target grid and by default takes roughly 65 minutes to come into full effect. As time goes on the script intensifies, causing more damage faster and more obviously. The simpler the grid, the less damage this script can do.

• Clangware Level: The intensity and frequency of mischief. Not meant to be changed by the user, but it can be.
  
• Affect Rate: How many seconds between affecting blocks. Default is 6, more info in the script.
  
• Escalation Rate: The base number of seconds per Clangware Level. Default is 90 seconds.
  
• Level Limit: The maximum Clangware level the script can get up to. Default is 10.
  
• Other Grids: The script will include connected grids. Default is false.
  
• Only Other Grids: The script will only target connected grids. The programmable block's owner will still have to match that of any connected grids for this to work! Default is false.

• Build a programmable block on your enemy's grid, arm it with this, then generously donate the block to them. They'll slowly go mad until the source of the chaos is discovered.
  
• Or Build the block on your ship, set it to affect only other grids, and dock with an ally, or neutral station, to subtly sabotage them while your docked.
  
• I'd personally like to see a derelict station slumbering with this, only to be claimed, powered on, and freak out the new inhabitants.

The following blocks will have their behavior modified RANDOMLY by the script based on the Clangware Level. At Clangware Level 1 any capable block may be turned ON/OFF.

• Lights (Level 1)
  
• Doors (Level 1)
  
• Air Vents (Level 1)
  
• Batteries (Level 1)
  
• LCDs (Level 2)
  
• Gas Storage (Level 2)
  
• Sound Blocks (Level 3)
  
• Pistons (Level 6)
  
• Hinges (Level 7)
  
• Rotors (Level 7)
  
• Thrusters (Level 8)
  
• Gravity Generators (Level 9)
  
• Timer Blocks (Level 9)
  
• Gyroscopes (Level 10)
  
• Radio Antennas (Level 10)
  
• Warheads (Ok, so these only arm and start counting down. Level 10)

The Clangware level increases after the level has been in effect for a period of time based on: Escalation Rate x Level. This is why it takes 65 minutes by default to get the full experience. At higher level limits there's the potential for things to get really ugly, though I haven't tested it yet.

Don't forget to rate the script here in the workshop if you like it, it'll help others find it.
