Easy Play

Easy Play is a automatition for basic game actions and processes related with the management of your crafts (ships, stations, rovers etc.) based on simple if/else logic and command sintax. With its help, you can define and change the states of any functional game blocks using simple scenarios written in CustomData single program block.

Easy Play is a fork of the Easy Automatition 2.0 automation script with saving its syntax (mostly) and basic functionality. The script code has been completely rewritten and significantly supplemented.

• set the game settings of any block without accessing the control panel and even a more
  
• optimally and with high precision control dynamic blocks: rotors, hinges, pistons
  
• handle game event delays with millisecond precision
  
• write, read and analyze text data from the LCD panel and any screen in general
  
• multi-level ship control menu with output to any screen (new!)
  
• read, write and modify the CustomData data of any block up to the variable specified there settings of other scripts
  
• rename blocks simply by specifying a couple of arguments in the PB Easy Play parameter
  
• adjust the parameters of one block for another block of the same type
  
• implement text messaging via radio antenna and remotely execute any script
  
• move on autopilot along the set coordinates of the destination point include raycast lidar
  
• make an inventory of your ship and display it on any screen in the form you need without changing the names of blocks and without the need for additional grouping

Easy Play does not impose syntax restrictions inherent in the original scripts, use of variables, and also has greater resistance to crash program block due to user errors.

Easy Play can be easily localized for any language by simply placing it in the keyboard text field program block translation of system messages, block states and names of the main components. Currently English (basic) and Russian languages ​​are supported. If there are those willing translate about 10Kb of English text into other languages, then I will post it in the discussions.

Easy Play requires only a programm block, the main screen of which works as console, and the keyboard screen data is used for localization. All automatition scenarios are hosted in CustomData of the same code block. Most likely you will also need any controller — cockpit, remote control or control station to get more options for automation and radio antenna for remote automatition.

Even if you prefer profile scripts or timers for automation, Easy Play can be useful for group renaming of blocks, setting up some blocks by their likeness others, or visualize the time delays associated with dynamic blocks. He can also be useful for organizing cross-script communication by dynamically changing settings of other scripts, enabling / disabling the corresponding program blocks, etc.

Easy Play is server friendly does not load the system timer with constant status requests grid. Any script is executed on demand after accessing it through the system panel calling the required script in the "Argument" field of the program block, which can also be entered on digital control panel or activate by timer.

After the scenario has been processed, the Easy Play program block exits until the next call. However, nothing prevents you from starting such calls on a timer, so that, for example, constantly update the display on the LCD of the cargo inventory or the state of the ship's connectors, similar to how the popular Automatic LCDs 2.0 inventory script does it.

You will find a guide to writing scripts in Russian in the "Guides" section, and the ships with a demonstration of the automation scenarios are published in the workshop:
