Chat2PB: Programmable Block Argument Router

Chat2PB - Chat-to-Programmable Block Argument Router

Chat2PB intercepts chat messages starting with a forward slash (/) and routes the text directly as arguments to tagged Programmable Blocks (PBs) on the controlled main grid. Designed to operate argument-heavy scripts without cluttering hotbars.

Technical Overview & Mechanics

• Scope: Intercepts local chat input before broadcast. Valid slash commands are hidden from global chat; vanilla slash commands (e.g., /gps) work normally.
• Targeting Scope: Executes strictly on Programmable Blocks present on the player's active main grid (excludes attached subgrids, rotors, hinges, and pistons).
• Multi-Targeting & Multi-Script Support: Route commands to multiple PBs running different scripts on the same grid using unique tags (e.g., /os vs /fleet). If multiple PBs share the exact same tag, the command executes across all of them simultaneously.
