BTWC Heat Management Addon

this script introduces Battletech style heat management for small (sub)grids, it requires the main mod to work properly. does not include the heatsink block. it is intended for mech on mech pvp combat

how it works:
-every produced power increases the heat value of a subgrid, heatsinks decrease it.
-certain blocks have internal heatsinks (medium reactor and large battery 3 and large reactor 12).
-above 100% of heat capacity the grids functional blocks will continuously take damage.
-power producing blocks will be turned off when heat is critical and turned on again when heat is low

what you can do:
-tag lcds with -Heat to display the current heat level, capacity and warn you when over 80%.
-tag cockpits with -Heat1 / -Heat2 / -Heat3 / -Heat4 to display it on a cockpit display.
-tag sound blocks with -Heat to play an alarm when above 80%.
-tag blocks with -Safe to turn them off when above 100% and reactivate them at under 10%.
-tag power producing blocks with -AutoOn to make the block reactivate automatically after an overheat induced shutdown, add -Override to disable automatic toggling overall, use with caution

-tag lights with -Heat to turn them on when over 80%.

beware:
-only functional heatsinks can dissipate heat.
-heatsinks and power producers must be on the same subgrid
-tags only work on the same subgrid as well
