Instant Projector

Description
This mod has been abandoned and will no longer receive any updates

This mod adds the ability for projector blocks to create projections instantly. The grid will spawn as if you welded each individual block of the projection and only after the build timer has elapsed. The projection must not be connected to the projector block grid, and the projection must have a significant amount of space around it. In survival, the projector must have enough components to weld the entire projection, and it will take the components from any or all inventories on the grid. The components must be available before the build timer can be started.

World Settings
Admins can configure world settings via the text hud api admin menu or the /ip command.
  • Block Build Time - Amount of seconds per block.
  • Component Cost Modifier - Modifies the amount of components required to build a projection.
  • Min Blocks - The minimum number of blocks that are required to build a projection.
  • Max Blocks - The maximum number of blocks allowed to build.
  • Power Modifier - Modifies the power required to increase the speed.
  • Subgrids - True if the mod will attempt to build subgrids for the console block.
  • Extra Component - An optional extra component required to build the projection.
  • Extra Component Cost - The number of extra components required per block.

Programmable Block API
These actions can be used on the projector:
  • BuildGrid - Attempt to spawn the projection.
  • CancelBuildGrid - Cancel the current pending spawn.
These properties can be accessed on the projector:
  • RequiredComponents - A list of components required to build the current projection.
  • GridTimerProjection - Amount of time the current projection would take.
  • GridTimerCurrent - The current value of the timer.
  • BuildState - The current projector state. In order from 0: Idle, Waiting, and Building

@neock Hi there, I downloaded this from the github, loaded it local and it worked fine. when i went to the workshop version it just crashed my game. IDK what issuses you was having but that solved it for me. I normally would not comment on an abandoned mod, but good info to have and maybe one of the forks already created will be a continued version of it.

@Avaness *If someone wanted to continue in your place to repair/fix* would you be ok with that..
Cheers

what lead to this being abandoned? the recent projector change break it entirely? or the OP just stop modding for the game and move on? just wondering, because i loved this mod so much

SPARKY I'm not able to find the mod you talked about, could you share it please?

Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your wonderful MOD. I wonder if you are able and interested in producing a complimentary MOD: The Disassembler. A Dematerializer MOD already exists; however, the MOD is specific to a Star Trek pack. You might use the projector in the same manner. Pick a grid for grinding, choose power setting to adjust work time, press go. I would use a mod like that.

There's any way we can use it to repair a damaged ship?

Great mod thanks for it. Only problem I have is the build button says grid is in the way, but the projection is not touching anything on the grid. If I turn the loose option on it sometimes spawns the ship high in the air and it explodes.

The only thing I can think of is that it could be a power usage issue

If I try to build the projection it keeps saying projection spawn was canceled. How do I fiks this?

Love the mod. Just an idea what if you added the inventory of the blueprint to the materials list so that you can spawn fully loaded grids without being able to spam fee stuff into survival mode.
