Turret Alarm v2

A small script that turns your turrets into an automatic alarm that trigger if an enemy is detected or its loss
Can be used both in vanilla and with WeaponCore


Now script can work with one trigger setup
Added "error" to script status options


Automatic updating of blocks starts approximately every 6 seconds (at the moment, the update depends on the game ticks directly) and allows you to change the blocks used and tracked by the script without manually restarting it. To disable this function, the script has a special switch in the parameters section.

For the convenience of tracking the status of the script, it is now possible to display its information on the LCD panel. To do this, add the prefix [TA LCD] to the required panel. If you want to display information on a specific panel in a block with multiple LCD's, then you need to add a prefix with the panel number in the list of block panels. For example, to display script state on the right monitor of Control Seat, you will need to add the following prefix to the block: "[TA LCD][2]"

MeshMode - now you can set the 3 different modes to the script: 0 - default (default TurretAlarm behavior), 1 - Tower (checking the turrets and sending updates to the base) and 2 - Base (receiving the messages from any grids via antennas or laser signal and start/stop the triggers)
For using MeshMode just change the parameter in the script or CustomData (0-3) and set up unique broadcast tag.

WC threats mode is a new method of obtaining enemy grids. This mode ensure that you will detect threats with any WC blocks. This mode can be useful on grids with a significant number of weapons as it works more optimized that original vanilla method. Caution, you cannot use WC threats mode and the mode of operation with certain turrets ("turretsTag") at the same time. WC threats will have the highest priority!

Hybrid turrets list allows now not to worry about switching between vanilla and weaponcore modes. Now you can use both types of turrets on your grid.
And because of that, now the Vanilla mode, WC mode and override mode is deprecated and removed from the script

1) Place on your grid turrets
2) Place on your grid 2 Timer blocks
3) Name timer blocks as "DetectionTrigger" and/or "LostTrigger" (You can change it's names in the script)
4) Place programmable block and paste this script in it
5) Set up your timer blocks as you wish

1) Enable delay (Set "detectionTriggerDelay" and/or "lostTriggerDelay" as true) and set the required time in the script ("detectionTriggerDelayTime" and "lostTriggerDelayTime". letter 'F' MUST be at the end)
2) Add a prefix [TA LCD] to the required LCD panels to display the script state
3) Specify the tag you need so that the script only works with certain turrets (Change "turretsTag")
4) Set 'searchInGrids' to 1 if you want use turrets from subgrids
5) Add "Run" command on the button panel and/or control seats with one of the following arguments:
a) "refresh" - script will refresh list of used blocks
b) "refresh switch" - disable or enable auto block refresh
c) "switch lcd" - disable or enable the use of LCDs by the script

23/02/22: Minor Update 2022.1.5

100% functioning of the script is not guaranteed due to the use of the WeaponCore API, which may change from time to time, but is pursued as the final goal.

When using groups of turrets with tags, make sure that there are no other blocks in the group other than the turrets. Currently, the search for blocks in groups is not supported

If you have any problems with the script, please write to the Troubleshooting discussion.
