  Description

Howdy!

This script allows you to trigger a timer when a particular seat has been entered or exited. You can also specify different timers for entry and exit activation. This script works with seats, cockpits, remotes, beds and cryo bays; pretty much anything you can sit in.

  Setup Instructions

[olist] [*] Make a group named SEAT (all caps) that contains all the seats, turrets, and custom turret controllers that you want to add entry/exit timers to. [*] Place this script in a programmable block. [*] Open the custom data of each seat, turret, or custom turret controller in the SEAT group and set the names of the timers that should be triggered. Leave them blank if you don't want a timer triggered. [*] Recompile the code to process any Custom Data or group changes. [/olist]

Repeat steps 3-4 until you have configured all your seats the way you want.

  Author's Notes

This script was initially written to support my boy ToedPeregrine4 in his attempt to have immersive control seats with pop-down screens. Pushing buttons manually is for peasants, so I wrote this script to trigger a timer based upon if someone had entered or exited the seat. I was eventually convinced to clean up this code and release it to the public, hopefully y'all can find some neat things to do with it :)

And of course, thanks to my insane friends for helping me come up with a stupid name for this script!

Also, I made the sprites for the cute little running screen using the SESpriteBuilder tool that I developed: https://gitlab.com/whiplash141/spritebuilder/-/wikis/home. It may be of use to scripters trying to visualize and design sprites :)
