EDIT: Solution: Download ILSpy (http://ilspy.net/) open SpaceEngineers\Bin64\Sandbox.Common.dll with ILSpy, go to Sandbox.ModAPI.Ingame and there you have the overview I was looking for. Thanks to Inflex.

Currently I am using https://github.com/KeenSoftwareHouse/SpaceEngineers/tree/master/Sources/Sandbox.Common/ModAPI/Ingame to learn about all the possibilities in ingame programming. But it seems this page doesn't get any updates anymore...

PB Sensor Feature Suggestions

Greetings programmers! I want to hear your suggestions for new PB features.

Disclaimers first: I'm not officially working on PB, it's just a pet project. Anything we discuss here is just for discussion sake, and will most likely never see the light of day.

After seeing how well everyone's reacted to the camera raycast, I've been thinking of other ways I can make more blocks useful. Instead of the PB magically gathering data from the ether, I want you to have to use blocks as sensors.

I love Taleden's Inventory Manager, but I hate typing. So I wrote a script that does a lot of the typing for you by Tagging common blocks with [TIM] and whatever would be assigned to it. A good example of this is [TIM Ore] for any refineries on the grid.

I hope you enjoy, This is just the first version of the script so...

Latest update finally broke SE Workbench which I used for writing scripts, King, the user who made SE Workbench was last seen online few months ago and so I'm not sure if when when he will fix it.
I'm now trying to setup VS for SE but so far I've failed.
I'm not sure what files I need to refernce to and what Using statements to use, I have tried to follow an old guide I found in the forum but it did not help..

Hey,

nvm, fixed it :)


I'm trying to get a ship to "strafe" without rotating to a given point but something is behaving silly.

At first it worked, but then i turned the drone around and it didn't work anymore.

It seems like the direction isn't updating but i'm new to Vector3's and Matrices so i'm not sure where i'm messing up....
(replacing matrix with rc.WorldMatrix or it's inverted version is giving the same problems)

Obtaining Filled % from a tank

I have been unable to utilize GetOxygenLevel() to obtain the fill % from a Hydrogen (or oxygen) tank. Here is what I have been trying:
Code:
void Main(string argument)
{
	var tankArray = new List<IMyTerminalBlock>();  
	GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyOxygenTank>(tankArray);
  
	float fillPercentage = tankArray[0].GetOxygenLevel();
}
The goal is to obtain all tanks (I can narrow it down to hydrogen only later) in an array and then average their "GetOxygenLevel()"s to find a...

Is there any way using only 2 programable blocks to make a timer like block?

I am trying to work around the bug where a projected/built timer block does not remember its actions (like a call to a programmable block, and then to itself to create a loop). In the past I would use a timer block and programmable block to perform multiple timed events (in this case for a missile assembly). With the timer block broken as I have described, I am at a loss to get another solution working. I have tried using programmable blocks calling each other, this fails when the...

myAirVent.Status.ToString() unexpected report

If the air vent cannot pressurize (the air vent is exposed to vacuum), it will report whether it is attempting to pressurize or depressurize. It will not report "depressurized" at any point.

If the air vent can pressurize (the room is sealed), it will only report that it is pressurized, as if it is trying to report that it indeed can pressurize.

I don't have an issue with it, personally, I can use this to more easily open/close doors and execute the pressurization procedure, but I was...

How can I use Linq extension methods?

Hello everyone.
I've been playing the game for a couple of weeks and recently I discovered the programmable blocks. Luckly, I don't have too much difficulty making scripts since I'm a C# developer for less than 2 years. So almost all my doubts come from the API and not from programming itself.

I was writing a script in which I used the FirstOrDefault extension method from Linq but for my surprise when I tried to compile the code in the game I got this exception:...

Please add things you want to see, or that should be here
Before i list missing APIs i add few known issue and possible circumvents

Some values are not available trough IMyTerminalBlock.GetProperties(), but you still can parse them from IMyTerminalBlock.DetailedInfo(which is enough, if you don't need to modify this values), list of detailed info strings can be found here...

Hey guys :)

I have somewhat of a problem scripting...
I want to have the natural gravity as an Integer for further calculations, but the problem is I am not able to find a way to use the result of GetNaturalGravity()
I can't even add .Length() as mentioned in some posts...

Code:
IMyRemoteControl rc = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName("Remote Control") as IMyRemoteControl;
VRageMath.Vector3D gravity = rc.GetNaturalGravity().Length();
Which shows me this error
