Turret Status Reporter

Uses antenna messaging to report the status of remote turret outposts back to a central LCD.

Featured in Splitsies survival series #74

NOTE: This script is currently not under active development however I will still fix it if any game update breaks it again.

Info

Turret report information includes: - Assigned turret name - Turret enabled - Turret health / operational status - Ammo amount - Time of last engagement - Last known position

Also included is a remote timer triggering function.

Instructions

The script works in two parts: - The Turret part that monitors a turret outpost and broadcasts regular reports through an antenna. - The Base part that receives reports from the turret outposts and displays the information on a central LCD.

Turret outposts must be individual grids, each one must have the following: - One turret block - A program block to run the script configured in turret mode - An antenna to send the information to the base script

When installing the script in a Base program block be sure to set the IsTurret setting in the script to false. Make sure broadcasting is enabled for the antenna on the Base grid. To specify an LCD block on which to display the information add "[Turret Status]" without the quotes to the name of the LCD block. You may the need to set the content type of the LCD to "Text and images".

The program blocks will update on their own, they do not need to be triggered by a timer. Notes about other configuration settings are written in the script as well as additional program functions and their arguments. NOTE: When using long update periods turret engagement time may be updated frequently enough leading to inaccurate times displayed.

This script does not display info of turrets connected to the grid of the main/base program block.

Notes / Known Issues

- Pausing the game may cause the turrets to timeout. They should refresh after a while once the game is un-paused again.
