Set image on LCD

Description
This script allows you to display an image on one or more LCDs containing a tag (word or sentence) in its/their name mainly via a Timer Block.

Usage
Run this script with argument containing the LCD tag followed by a comma then the image name to display (All case sensitive).

Examples
From a Timer Block (TB), run with argument: LCD Panel Left,Danger

From a TB, run with argument: LCD Panel Right,Arrow

Multiple LCDs are possible:
From a TB, run with argument: LCD Hangar Truck,Stop
This will display "Stop" image on LCD panels named "LCD Hangar Truck Left", "LCD Hangar Truck Right", etc...

Notes
- Only one Programmable Block is necessary by default per grid and without argument. The argument can be added for debugging but it is more useful with Timer Blocks
- Subgrids can be taken into account by changing the variable "useSubGrid" to "true" in the script
- It is possible to display the log on the Programmable Block screen (disabled by default) by changing the "usePBscreen" value to "true" in the beginning of the script
- Screenshots and examples provided with the "Sickles Signs V2 - 100+ LCD Textures" mod by SickleBandit
- For those who prefer to create automated functions without Timer Blocks, please have a look at "Easy Automation V2.0" by Coren

Hi hanXbatu: the script can manage only one picture at a time. If you want to add more, I'd recommend you check the Easy Automation V2.0 script mentioned at the end of the description.

What can I do to add more than one in a LCD and change it in 1 second?

Thank you :se:
I hope the new block Keen will provide in the next update will be able to replace this script anyway, will be easier as the problem is when you place a programmable block with arguments in a timer block, there's no way to see these arguments except looking inside the world's files

Only images you can see in the list when you define it manually on the LCD, so vanilla and from mods.

But can it be a custom image? Not an image from a mod.

I use it with non vanilla images, works fine

Does this only work with vanilla LCD images?

@Izzy: I just tested it on a new world and it works fine. Please tell me what's the name of your LCD. Is this a standard LCD ? What are the arguments you typed to display the picture ?
