Description
Construction helper! (add-on for [TIM]).
Version 1.0.0

Date : 26.12.2016

What does it do ?
-----------------
It will show a menu to select Blocks, the constraction componets for the selected Blocks will move to a container.

How to setup?
-----------------
1. Install Taleden's Inventory Manager [TIM] : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=546825757
2. Build a container named "Container PutInMe" - must be connected to the conveyor system!
3. Put the script in a PB and run it every 1 sec using a timer block.
4. Build 2 LCDs named :"LCD BuildMenu" and "LCD Selected Items";
5. Build a button panel and bind:
5.1 Button 1 to PB argument "up" : use to move up in the menus
5.1 Button 2 to PB argument "down" : use to move down in the menus
5.1 Button 3 to PB argument "enter" : use to select / back im menus
5.1 Button 4 to PB argument "left" : Add one Block to constration list.

How to USE :
-----------------
In the menu, Select large or small items using "enter" button.
Use the "up" "down" to select a Block, press "left" to add one to quantity
Press the "enter" button to go back to main manu.
Select the "Send items container" to send the construction components to the container using [TIM].
DONE! the construction items will be in the container, if any are missing and need to be produced, you will see it in the LCD named "LCD Selected Items"

You can reset items selecting by selecting "Clear all items selection".


After you played a little you can send more arguments :
"left" - will remove one for quantity.
"pageup" , "pagedown" - will move one "page" in the block menu selection
I usually build a small panel using 7 small buttons, for all 7 commands.(see images)

Advanced input, using search!
Add the Mod: Computer Console https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=825251316
Bind A key to PB and pass 'a' as argumens , B key To PB pass 'b' as arguments... do it for all keys(a-z 1-9 0 backspace up down enter ....):
Then you can search by words.

Is it possible to detect the item that i have selected and send the components to the container. It will be 1 single click. Much easy
