OmniBeam Arm Controller

Description
OmniBeam Arm Controller Script

Requirements

In multiplayer this script requires the Multigrid Projector plugin to be present on both the server and client side.

How to use the script
  • Example usage is in this test world
  • Please see the configuration at the top of the script's code. It tells you the block and group names to use.
  • The welding will not start automatically on recompiling the script.
  • To start the welding run the PB with argument: start
  • To stop the welding run the PB with argument: stop

Remarks
  • Works both in creative and multiplayer
  • The script can control any number of arms
  • Put only the azimuth rotor bases of each arm into the OmniBeam Arms group, not the whole arms
  • Supported arm structure: Advanced Rotor azimuth (base), Hinge elevation, OmniBeam X-1100
  • The LCD panels are optional, they are useful for debugging
  • This script is a minified release version
  • Source code for development: GitHub repository[github.com]

Enjoy!

It's working on my singleplayer world, just not the server [it has MGP]

Oh, and the Block that it's stuck on is a Ladder Shaft which is non-DLC

Is there some kind of timer or other function that causes the arms to stop working on a BP? I have to run the script several times to complete a ship build that does have multiple sub grids.

yes, grouped the rotors under "OmniBeam Arms", "lcds under "Shipyard Text Panels". even the single lcds named "lcd details, log, status, timer"
Raidfire 22 Nov, 2024 @ 6:20am 
Have you grouped only the rotors(Base) of the each arm? Have you named lcds etc.

@datt_loki Please make sure you have the Multigrid Projector plugin loaded. Please read the description carefully.
