v:0.976 (01.201 compatibility, fix wrong text length on corner LCDs & take LCD text padding setting into account) In-Game script by MMaster & Morphologis

Last update: Fixed LCD flicker * Fixed timing to improve airlock response times * Updated for 01.186 version of game * Timer block is not required anymore! * (look at extra features section below)

Intelligent airlock system. Automatically controls any number of airlocks on ships and stations.

• Any number of airlocks using single programmable block & timer
• Any number of doors per airlock (can be used with Hangar Doors)
• Any number of airvents per airlock (so you can use it for large airlocks)
• Automatic pressurization / depressurization with optional pressure detection in rooms behind doors
• Doors automatically closed & locked / unlocked & opened
• Lights changing colors based on state of airlock
• Play sound blocks when airlock is pressurized, depressurized or in both cases
• LCD display support to display state of any number of airlocks on any LCD
• Unlocks doors without opening when airlock can't be depressurized / pressurized
• 3 button actions support: transfer to inner doors, outer doors or switch between them

QUICK GUIDE:

* Load script to programmable block, Check code, Remember & Exit

Note: Airlock name mentioned below is name of the airlock that you can choose. Replace any mention of Airlock name by your chosen name for your airlock. You should have all 3 groups with same Airlock name unless you know what you are doing.

Setup 3 groups per airlock like this: Group named "Airlock Control: Airlock name" should contain: - airvents inside airlock - lcds that should show this airlock state [optional]

Group named "Airlock Inner: Airlock name" should contain: - inner doors (opened when airlock is pressurized) - lights for showing inner door status [optional] - sound block played when airlock is being pressurized [optional] - [optional] place airvent behind inner doors and assign it to Airlock Inner group to let airlock automatically figure out what should be the pressure when opening inner doors

Group named "Airlock Outer: Airlock name" should contain: - outer doors (opened when airlock is depressurized) - lights for showing outer door status [optional] - sound block played when airlock is being depressurized [optional] - [optional] place airvent outside of outer doors and assign it to Airlock Outer group to let airlock automatically figure out what should be the pressure when opening outer doors

Setup buttons to Run Programmable block with argument (without quotes!): "Airlock name in" - transfer to inner doors (pressurize) "Airlock name out" - transfer to outer doors (depressurize) "Airlock name toggle" - switch between inner doors / outer doors

"Airlock name" is name of your airlock! If your airlock is called ABC then use "ABC in", "ABC out" etc.

[h1]HINT:[/h1] You can build single sound block and add it to both Inner and Outer group to play sound each time airlock changes state (e.g. hissing sound).

* Done.

LIGHT COLORS

Blinking Red - these doors will open when airlock is (de)pressurized Red - these doors are locked Orange - doors unlocked, but not opened when airlock cannot be (de)pressurized This usually happens when you don't have enough oxygen to pressurize airlock or you don't have enough tanks to depressurize it. Green - doors unlocked and opened

TROUBLESHOOTING

- Make sure that your own everything! - Make sure that you used the same Airlock name in all 3 groups for single airlock. - Always make sure that there are only the blocks that are supposed to be in the groups. - If your doors are opening immediately as you cycle the airlock, make sure that you didn't put the airvent inside the airlock to one of the Inner / Outer groups.

EXTRA FEATURES

Place airvent behind inner doors and assign it to Airlock Inner group and also place airvent outside of outer doors and assign it to Airlock Outer group to let airlock automatically figure out what should be the pressure when opening inner and/or outer doors.

NOTE: You are now able to change colors of the lights: Change color of lights in script LIGHT COLOR SETTINGS when you click EDIT in programmable block with this script and scroll down the guide.

Add closing time to doors name to make sure doors are closed before locking them by adding "CT:seconds": * if your doors are named "Hangar Door 3" rename them to "Hangar Door 3 CT:10" to set closing time to 10 seconds * if your doors are named "Door 3" rename them to "Door 3 CT:5" to set closing time to 5 seconds

Tell the script to open the doors after some time even if pressure is not right in the airlock: Change line "MMConfig.OPEN_ANYWAY = false;" in Configuration() section at the beginning of the script to "MMConfig.OPEN_ANYWAY = true;" (without quotes)

ALWAYS check the OWNERSHIP.

Programmable block needs to be have the same ownership as all the other blocks you want it to control. So all doors, lights, airvents, sound blocks, buttons and LCDs need to have the same owner as programmable block.
