Block.GetValue("IsShooting") nullreference error

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea, why this is always throwing an exception ?

Code:
int firingguns = 0;
List<IMyTerminalBlock> Guns = new List<IMyTerminalBlock>();
GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyUserControllableGun>(Guns);
for(byte i=0;i<Guns.Count;i++)
{
	if( Guns[i].GetValue<bool>("IsShooting")==true )  firingguns += 1;
}

I checked every part of this code and only this part seems to cause the problem:
"GetValue<bool>("IsShooting")"...

Help: IsConnected & IsLocked obsolete?

Hello,

I am writing a script that is reliant on knowing when a connector can connect and when it is connected, but when I run it it says IsConnected & IsLocked are obsolete and the if's that are dependent on them are not triggering. What were they replaced with and what is the new syntax for finding those out?

I appreciate the help :)

hi,
the following code is Part of a bigger script.
for better understanding i inserted the whole foreach loop, which gives me trouble.

This code snipped is actually responsible for dedocking a small drone via mergeblock, in particular this is the part where the thrusters are getting fired to generate distance between mothership and drone.

When i weld the first Drone, it works perfectly and drone gets properly seperated.
If i weld/place the next drone, everything seems to work fine, except...

Programmable Block Help; Changing Light Color Based on Inventory

Hey folks,

I am looking for a bit of help with a basic Programmable Block script I am trying to cobble together. The general idea is for a Spotlight to change color based on how full the cargo containers on an Atmospheric Miner used in Survival are; basically an obvious visual cue that it is time to go home and unload.

The ship in question, currently, is a small grid with four large containers - hence setting the trigger variable "Red" to ~90% of four 15kL containers.

It seems this should...

So i've decided to sum up, what i'm mostly missing on blocks in ingame API
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...

Any RADAR possibility with a drone swarm?

I'm designing/developing a drone "swarm" that could serve as a "border" around my base. They will be spread on a surface of a sphere, center of the sphere will be the base. While I'm online, on my HUD, I could see any other ship that is closing to my base and dispatch drones or start my capital ship.

Are there any method to detect them programmatically? I know the raycasting feature of the camera, but it is not enough for such RADAR functionality. I understand that from Antennas I couldn't...

Hello.
I have been working on a script to work with a 1x1 elevator I designed. As it stands, I am not knowledgeable enough to fix the errors I've been getting on my own.
Could someone help me out with making it compile in-game? I've commented the code as best I could so you'll know what my intent is.
What it should do:
  1. set pistons(marked by a tag) to a list and .count to an int
  2. calculate and pass(to pistons[divided across equally]) distance from current floor to destination...

This is my first time giving programming a go, and first time using C#. I spent the better part of the last couple of days watching YouTube tutorials to get some basic understanding. That said, I started one of the programming tutorial scenarios, and have found that most of the scripts are using obsolete functions. I'm looking for some help on how to proceed with the script below

The underlined line of code below is where it gives the warning "outDoor.Open is obsolete, use Status property...

Hello guys, i have been using this script for a while now and its been giving me alot of easy to get documentation for use in my own scripts so i decided to release it as an easy way to get terminal API info :)

How to use:
- Set up PB
- Paste/ load in my code
- rename block you want to inspect "block"
- recompile
- use the commands displayed in the "echo" box of the PB :)

Commands:
when you first load the script you will see this in the echo box, it displays all the commands you can use:...

Hi all I am in the process of writing a script that displays different things based on which line of custom data in a text panel is read.
e.g. you read the first line it may show on the text panel:Menu name is "Men1" then options are "option1","option2"... so on. or if you read the second line:
Display name is "DisplaySigma" then values are "value 1" = 4, "value 2" = 63 ... so on etc.

To accomplish this what I have done is create a format I use in the custom data of:...

Basically lcds only update once every 100 ticks (0.6fps) now. doesnt matter if its SP or MP.

Edit: Workaround has been found, you can force an update by making the lcd switch to texture and back to text like in ye olden days (this drains performance tho):
Code:
lcd.ShowTextureOnScreen();
lcd.ShowPublicTextOnScreen();
thx to MMaster for taking a peek using dotpeek :)
