I have a working version on my game.

Sadly, doesn't work anymore.

Can someone update this script, it's pretty badass but it got two errors

Scrip has errors, will there be an update in near future?

PLS UPDATE THE SCRIPT

The mod has broken now that the normal branch is up to date with the new mod API code, please fix this when you can or pass it on to someone who can fix it for you.

I went to test it on the normal branch and it is working fine, i think i might stay on the normal branch just because mod support is good on it.

Program(377,33): Error: 'IMyBlockGroup' does not contain a definition for 'Blocks' and no extension method 'Blocks' accepting a first argumment of type 'IMyBlockGroup' could be found [are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference]. This was with dev branch and i had the light with the name AlarmOn my AlarmBlocks group with my things and the timer setup to loop every secound and run the script. It won't even start the script due to this error, if you can please fix this or support dev branch because i can't stand waiting for updates.

Your script is very useful in battle situations! I used that in my ship, thank you!!!!

LMAO " The standard keywords are "Enemy", "Hostile" and "Winter is coming"." XD

Can i ask how to do something?
Its cool alarm, i like it. but i want so beacon auto turn on, if it off and set to configurated distance. how to do it? ty

im new to this and when you sat calls itself what doies that me excatly ? some one pls helpme

do it need timer block bcz i am not makeing it^_^

Anyone?

hey, I got alarm back on but it won't restore back. It turned off then turned the red back on...I tried "AlarmOn" manual on buttonpanel....nothing happen. it just went off and went red back on...no restore

I do find the ability to write to LCDs is rather more useful when it's not appending text. When the alarm activates, I just want the LCDs to reflect that, and that goes for when it deactivates, and I don't need the clutter of a text history in there.

It's not hard to change the script to do this on the user end obviously, but might setting append to false by default make ship LCDs look a little more professional?

The Timer Block get triggered not started, anyway to change this?

Unfortunately thats not possible right now.
The only block that allows you to detect anything via In game programming is the sensor. Which is not that useful for detecting ships, considering it has a max range of 50 meters ...

Any chance of adding the ability for this script to detect enemy ships based on attena range? and for that to set it off, as well as if possibly a meteor storm?

i just cant work this at all

How could I set up seperate/multiple alarms? Like one for "red alert", and another for "intruder alert"?

okay, cool, my plan is to get a timer activate auto-pilot on a satellite, so if it gets damaged by a meteor, the satellite will automatically go to a repair dock, fly through it, be repaired, and go back to its monitoring spot in space.

(Once I get a new computer that can run SE at least, in the meantime i am pre-planning my builds)

Yep. Just add the timer block to the "AlarmBlock" group, and it gets triggered whenever the alarm starts,

Hmmm.... is there a way to edit this script to get it to activate a timer?

thanks i got working on all my main ships it works really well thank you for making this.

@Demolition Man: absoluely nothing. This script was made before arguments for programmable block were added, so it doesn't use them.
@Yaddah: no. Damages that are already present during the first run of the script won't call the alarm. And completly destroyed blocks are never counted as they don't exist anymore.

Is this script able to also detect blocks that have already been destroyed?

what do i put in timer argument ?

Great mod! I use it all the time. I did notice with the DX11 upgrade the new Beacon texture doesn't respond to the script. Just FYI.

How do I extract the light code from your script? My intent is to change a interior light block color (from green to flashing yellow, o something) when a timer is triggered. This is a separate function from the alarm script.

@aircav25: Just "AlarmOn" (without the quotes).

If just want the blinking lights and nothing else (closing doors etc.): add only lights to the "AlarmBlocks" and nothing else.

This is good! Thank you for the product I'm still struggling to figure out some fine points.

Similar issue with the light. Are we supposed to name it "Interior Light - AlarmOn" or just "AlarmOn"?

Would you mind publishing a script that just changes light attributes when triggered? I'm trying to use lights as indicators while your alarm program runs in the background.

Works perfect!

Brilliant, I was just sitting down this weekend to try and come up with something much like this.

It doesn't work

No clues, seems like you checked the most usual errors already - group name, light name and block ownership.

Does the programmable block mention any error, when you open it in the control panel?
Maybe recompiling the program could help too (edit program block, followed by a Remember&Exit). Maybe try to manually run the program block when the light is on.

I just tried out your script... It doesnt work. I followed the instructions but the "AlarmOn" interior light doesn't switch on anything when i turn it on. I put other lights, sound blocks and text panels in a group called "AlarmBlocks".. Nothing. What do I do? The script is running itself on a timer block every second and everything on the station belongs to me.

What's nice about the timer block idea is that you could also set them to kick oneanother off thus "flashing" your image or "blinking it" with the lights if you wanted. You might need 3 timer blocks, one to kick the flashing of the panel off and turn it on, the next to turn off the panel and kick it back to the start block, and then the 3rd would be the alarm off script control to stop the other two blocks and turn the panel off.

Yes you end up using 3 timer blocks, but it will do what you wanted - "in style" :)

I'll try that then. System I got works fine just wanted it to be better with programming.

Not possible right now, and I don't think I could add it. Right now, the textpanel API has a AddImageToSelection() function, but Keen somehow forgot to add a RemoveImageFromSelection() function too - *DOH*

What you could do: preselect the desired image in your text panel. Turn it off. Add 2 timer blocks to the alarm group - the name of one them should end with "END".
Setup the one called "END" to turn off the text panel, the other timerblock should turn it on.
Result: when alarm starts, the text panel shows the image. When the alarm ends, text panel says "Offline"

Hey what if i wanted to change an LCD image

Super awesome!!!!

Made a little update

- script can now trigger timer blocks on start or end of alarm.
- doors (including the new airtight hangar doors) can be opened instead of closed during alarm, just add "OPEN" to the end of the name.
- script can search for certain keywords in text panels and sound the alarm if found (as suggested by rottielover). Name of the text panel must end with "IN" to enable this.

Hacking alarm issue: hmm, interesting. In my testworld (singleplayer) the hacking alarm was only called when I hacked a block that I assigned to a NPC enemy. Grinding a block that is set to "me" or "nobody" didn't call it. Maybe ownership works differently in multiplayer (or on dedicated servers). I'll investigate it.

Trigger on text panel: great suggestion, this should be definitly possible. I could add a configuration variable to the top: Standard alert words could be "Enemy" and "Hostile", but players could change it to whatever they want. I'll try it, probably this weekend.

Issue: Owner "hacking" a block set's off the alarm. I placed and welded a block, then ground it and the alarm went off for hacking attempt. This was on a DS, does that matter?
