Whenever i try to make this:
Code:
List<IMyTerminalBlock> ListName = new List<IMyTerminalBlock>();
GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockGroupWithName("Group of blocks to get").GetBlocks(ListName);
That gets all the items in a certain group and puts them into a list. I get an execution exception that displays the following: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I know this error is common in C# when you put:
Code:
List<var> ListName;

[Solved] IMyInventory.CanItemsBeAdded usage

Some time have passed since last question about it so I wonder if today exists any possibility to use a method IMyInventory.CanItemsBeAdded and how to do that. This metod requires an argument of type "VRage.ObjectBuilders.SerializableDefinitionId" which can be build from a string and another argument of type "VRage.ObjectBuilders.MyObjectBuilderType".
It seems that a type SerializableDefinitionId is permitted in ingame scripts, but MyObjectBuilderType is not. Is there any way to obtain...

Hi,

I try to make a drone who get in space and then come back to land.

I usually use "Visual Script Builder" to make my scripts and it's work fine.
But I want something that isn't possible with this site.

To go down on the planet I shutdown all the engine from my drone.
This to not use too much fuel, and because of the speed bug in gravity.

I need something like "If altitude < 1500m do start all engine".

Hello community.

Iam trying to write a script for, lets say, sub-orbital aproach with less fuel consumption possible. The goal is to have a shuttle/pendling cargo ship from ground of the planet to an orbital station bounded to the asteroid, but still inside gravitational field of the planet. Idea is to use natural gravity to slow down aproach naturaly and have at the target altitude as less velocity, as possible. Iam incorporating orbital launch script to have ship speed-up and climbing...

Because Steam only allows so many characters in the description and it can be tough to find
update posts in the comments section I am going to keep the updates to the script here in
this post.

Update 1:



It has been a few weeks since I made CybillAI available on my workshop, I see that quite a few
people have already subscribed. Today's update adds important optimization to Cybill's power

I put together a script to run a hangar airlock system on with the script builder at Visual Script Builder.(so much faster than typing it out myself. I repair syntax and smooth out logic after the fact in Notepad++.)
I am using four different blocks and the tool assembles a "function" for each separate one, so I'm looking to cut down the size by making an actual function that works for all four.
Here are my block declarations.

As programmable blocks came to SE, and not all players are programmers, I guess a thread with block requests is reasonable.

Basically, if you want a script on your block, post explanation here. Other programmers and I (Although I'm generally a busy person so maybe not often) will be more than happy to program it for you. Of course I still suggest you to learn programming, but you might not want to, and it's all fine. Other people like other things.

In the View mode, in the upper left corner of the screen there is a "label" with CustomName of camera. Unfortunately, changes of the CustomName will be not affected until reactivating the View mode. Somehow it's possible to get the updateable HUD or overlay on camera in View mode?

Request for access to wheel propulsion override (Steering angle as a bonus)

To whom it may concern,

Request:
I am hoping that we can get access to wheel propulsion through in-game scripting, like we have access to the "Override" property on a Thruster.

Considerations:
I am aware that wheels function differently than thrusters and this would be fine. My expectations given current behavior is that we would get access to toggle (positive or negative) propulsion override as though a user was pressing the W or S keys (respectively).

For simplicity we can assume...

Hey all,

I just finished building an automated assembler setup that I'm pretty happy with. Basically, it's a system that lets you specify how much of a given item you want to have in inventory, and which assemblers product that item, and the system will enable and disable assemblers as necessary to keep the inventory full.

To set it up, you need:
One programmable block.
One timer block.
One LCD screen.
At least one assembler per type of item you...

Greetings engineers! As you all have (hopefully) read in last week's update post, the PB now has some fancy new self-updating features which means you no longer need timer blocks!

This self-update system is relatively straightforward, but does require a bit of explanation, so let's get into it!

The self-update system is controlled through the Runtime.UpdateFrequency property. Those of you who are familiar with GameLogic components should recognize...

Hi everyone,

I've managed to write this script below which works.... once. the idea is when a button is pressed the rotor moves in that direction by 1 degree from its last position.

Currently the first time you run the block it will set the min and max limits like it should and changes the velocity to positive. For some reason though, the second, third, fourth time the block is run, nothing changes. I'm stumped any help would be greatly appreciated...

Can a script look up tool speed?

Right now the only way to be sure is to track steel plates going through which involves regulating how many get into the welder, which basically requires two sorting blocks and a container in an airlock system and even then you cant be sure the...
