Red Alert-Condition Red Script

A quick summary: This script will, when activated, set all the lights on the ship it is run on to red, and blinking, for Red Alert, then set them back when it is run again. LCDs with names containing with the tag set below (default to "[CONR]") will alternate by default between having CONDITION GREEN in green text, or "CONDITION RED" in red text based on the appropriate alert state, although the text and colors are also customizable in the script, in VARIABLES YOU CAN CHANGE. This persists between world saves.


1. BACK UP YOUR SHIP! Nothing should go wrong, but if you don't want to have to set all your lights again on your huge capital ship, make a backup. IMO this should be one of the last scripts you add to your ship.
2. Make sure everything is owned properly. TextPanels and LCDs are the most picky about ownership.
3. Place as many display LCDs or TextPanels as you want.
4. Add the tag ("[CONR]" without "s by default, you can change that below) to the name of the LCDs or TextPanels you to use as condition displays.
5. To toggle Alert Status (Red > Normal, or Normal > Red), run the script.

- Lights with the ignore tag ("[CONO]" without "s by default) will not be modified by this script, EXCEPT to be changed back to normal, if they were already set to Red Alert before the tag was added.
- Everything from the color, intensity, falloff, etc. of the Condition Red lights, to the color and size and text shown for CONDITION RED and CONDITION GREEN is customizble in the script, and hopefully well explained, under VARIABLES YOU CAN CHANGE.
- This script WILL WORK if you log out or save the world while the lights are in Red Alert / Condition red, they should be restored no problem when you get back in and run it again.

- Fixed issue where somewhere around 250 lights would fail due to an uncessary list sort, script has now been tested to work with 1000 lights without issue.
- 1.1 Added a version number (Current Version is 1.1) to allow people to check if they have the latest version more easily.
- Just a reminder that you'll have to go into your programmable blocks and re-apply the script from the workshop to get any updates I make!

- Add an argument that allows you to guarantee condition red, allows you to make triggers that will _always_ switch to red alert, instead of accidentally toggling it back to green/standard.
- Ability to set up a timer block so the lights stop blinking after a customizable amount of time, stabilize at solid color (customizable?). (Idea from @Branakburn)
- Ability to trigger sound blocks named with tag when transitions into red alert
