Toggle Stargate Iris

THIS MOD REQUIRES THE STARGATE OR WORMHOLE PORTAL MOD TO FUNCTION!

This is an in-game script that demonstrates how to automatically activate the iris or shield during an incoming wormhole.

To use this script, add a Programming Block with either 'Stargate' or 'Portal' in the name, and it will automatically be executed when an incoming wormhole is activated and deactivated.

The gate name in the script is a placeholder. Just put whatever name you want in there. I thought it was obvious, but I also didn't place comments in this like the other script.

There is a game bug, mods can no longer call PB scripts. It just fails silently.

There are two workarounds, one if you actually want a script, both use a Timer block as an intermediary:
1) Script based

1. Place a new timer block
   
2. Create a block group for the gate and the timer
   
3. Add an action to call the PB with the "Incoming" or "Idle" argument, based on which behavior you want.
   Incoming for iris activation
   Idle for opening iris

2) Non-script

1. Place a new timer block
   
2. Create a block group for the gate and the timer
   
3. Assign the "Iris On/Off" action from the gate, to the timer block, based on which you want
   
4. Create a second timer block for the other action
