Enemy Detection Script - Turret Triggers Timer

Description
This is a simple script which triggers a timer block when a turret detects an enemy.

-Rename the timer block to "Timer Block - EnDec" (without quotation marks) or change the name to whatever you want as indicated in the code.

-Rename a turret to "DetectorTurret" (without quotation marks) or change the name to whatever you want as indicated in the code.

Right. It checks for blocks named correctly. But it crashes with an exception if it doesn't find both blocks named correctly. That's all I was saying to Seth, now long gone..

Also, using a ctc only lets you detect from block weapons. I want to include detection from turrets.

Thank you for sharing your bps/mods, btw.

the code doesnt do anything besides check if a turret which is currently named whatever is in the code has detected something, and if it has, trigger a timer block. dont know why people are still using this script, its obsolete with the new turret controller block.

Hey Seth, it's been quite a while, but I'm sure the problem you were having is because you hadn't yet named both a timer block and a turret.
The code SHOULD detect when that's the case, but it doesn't.

Nice script. Is it somehow possible to make a grid that detects an enemy (with that turret) send commands to another grid (like a base)? As far as I know the timer block cannot be set to give commands to other grids automatically but maybe there is a different script for that or some magical way?

@Hage Maoh set the timer block to rerun/recompile the PB running this script at the end of its action sequence

Really needs some way to reset, or a cooldown between detection events. Seems like the turret detects once, and then the whole setup needs to be taken down and rebuilt

"EnDec" wouldn't happen to be an Encoder Decoder, would it?
