This script will allow you to display the content of all the inventories of your ship/station very easily. It is really simple! You just need to read "short introduction" to use it (I"m also too lazy to read everything ;) ). If you like my work, please rate it. ^_^

name the panels "Res #". E.g. a panel named "Res #0" will be the first panel, a panel named "Res #1" the second, ... (note that there is no whitespace after the #)

- It doesn"t matter if you skip an index, but a duplicate index (so two panels with the same name or text) will cause the scrip to display the information twice. Any index below 0 will be ignored.

- The script will automatically fetch the display"s font size and put as much text on it as possible. However, you might notice a gap at the bottom of the panel since the last line would not fit on it entirely. Just increase the panel"s font size then until it fits perfectly.

Custom names:The script will also search in the public title for a valid identification name. I.e. you can set the name to "My favorite panel" and set the public title to "Res #1" and still works. Note that the name has a higher priority, so a panel with the name "Res #1" and the public title "Res #7" will have the index 1.

Or did you mean that you want to make your own programmable block script that shows the items in your containers? If so, here"s how you loop through them:

Note: Some functional blocks, such as Cockpits, Programmable Blocks, Custom Turret Controllers, and Button Panels, have customizable LCD Panel surfaces built in that work the same way as LCD Panel blocks.

LCD Panels need to be built on a powered grid to work. Without power, they display an "Offline" text. While powered without having a text, image, or script set up, they display "Online".

LCD Panel blocks come in a variety of sizes from tiny to huge (see list below) and are available for large and small grid sizes. Note that LCD Panel blocks all have connections on their backs, and very few also on a second side.

All LCD Panels and LCD surfaces work with the same principle. They are capable of displaying a scripts and few inbuilt images and texts with different sizes, background colours, and fonts.

A Text Panel, despite its name, can also display images. On large grid, it is rectangular and does not fully cover the side of a 1x1x1 block. On small grid it is 1x1x1, the smallest possible LCD block in game.

On large grid, you choose the Text Panel when you need something that has rectangular dimensions that make it look like a wall-mounted TV or computer screen. If you want to display images, this one works best with the built-in posters whose names end in "H" or "V" (for horizontal or vertical rotation). On Small grid, you place these tiny display surfaces so you can see them well while seated in a cockpit or control seat, to create a custom display array of flight and status information around you.

Corner LCDs are much smaller display panels that typically hold a few lines of text. They don"t cover the block you place them on and are best suited as signage for doors, passages, or containers. They are less suitable for displaying images, even though it"s possible. If you enable the "Keep aspect ratio" option, the image will take up less than a third of the available space.

These huge Sci-Fi LCD Panels come in sizes of 5x5, 5x3, and 3x3 blocks, and can be built on large grids only. These panels are only available to build if you purchase the "Sparks of the Future" pack DLC.

They work the same as all other LCD Panels, the only difference is that they are very large. In the scenario that comes with the free "Sparks of the Future" update, they are used prominently as advertisement boards on an asteroid station.

This LCD panel can be built on large and small grids. The transparent LCD is basically a 1x1x1 framed window that displays images and text. It is part of the paid "Decorative Blocks Pack #2" DLC.

What is special about them is that if you set the background color to black, this panel becomes a transparent window with a built-in display. In contrast to other LCD Panels it has no solid backside, which makes it ideal to construct transparent cockpit HUDs, or simply as cosmetic decoration.

While configuring an LCD Panel, the GUI covers up the display in-world and you can"t see how the text or images comes out. In the UI Options, you can lower the UI Background opacity to be translucent, so you can watch what you are doing more easily.

Joined my friend"s game hosted by him. Non-dedicated server. I made a blueprint with a couple scripts loaded in, tested that everything worked in single player, but when we used it in multiplayer only the host could see the scripts update. The text doesn"t get sent to clients. It updates every detail of a panel but not the text. All LCDs, cockpit LCDs, programmable block LCDs, etc don"t update. Opening the panel shows there is no text but the host confirmed the panel is not blank and is updating for him.

It seems that the programmer block has a new bug, not important but PB screen cannot be set to anything, it stays on the "No Content" image event with simple text or image or script (ex: digital / analog clock).

After many requests, we have decided to release our internal Replay Tool that we use to create our trailers. It allows you to record the movement and actions of multiple characters in the same world. You can use your video recording software of choice to capture these moments for cinematic purposes! It’s also super useful for epic screenshot creation. The tool allows you to be the director of your own Space Engineers film where you can carefully position and time different engineers with their own specific roles. We are extremely excited to see what the community will create with this!

Important: because it’s an internal tool, it has a very basic user interface and required advanced users to be used. We believe this is OK, because most video creators who would want to use it to create epic cinematic Space Engineers videos are advanced users.

There are now Steam trading cards to collect for Space Engineers! Collect a full set of cards to earn items that help you customize your Steam profile including backgrounds and badges.

There are fourteen new decorative blocks for people who want to buy them and support the development of Space Engineers, which are available on the Space Engineers Steam Store page. Within the package you will get following new blocks:

Beds can preserve characters’ inventory and toolbar while they"re offline and keeps them alive as long as there is oxygen available. Is considered to be the same as the Cryo Chamber Block, except oxygen is used from the environment. Space Engineers don’t work from nine to five, they work whenever they’re needed: day or night, during peace and war. But when it’s time to call it a day, every engineer looks forward to resting in these beds.

Kitchens are purely decorative. The kitchens in Space Engineers come well-equipped and include stunning visual details. Space Engineers overcome challenges everyday when they’re working on new planets or among the stars.

Planters are purely decorative, but they make outer space a bit warmer by housing life in a special glass container. Build your own garden on the space station. Planters not only help to liven up spaces, but the flora housed inside these capsules also remind many engineers of the homes they’ve left behind in order to explore the universe.

Couchescan be used as seats, so take your time to relax and take a break. You don’t need to always run, fly or work, you can enjoy your cozy room and enjoy the view. The last thing anyone would ever call a Space Engineer is ‘couch potato’, but who wouldn’t like to relax after a hard day’s work on this comfy furniture?

Armory and Armory Lockers can be used to decorate interiors and store weapons, ammunition, tools and bottles; both are small storages (400L), where you can keep your equipment. Space Engineers use lockers in order to ensure that keepsakes from home, toiletries and other items are kept safe.

Toiletscan be used as a seat. The latest and greatest interstellar lavatory technology has made many earth dwellers jealous of the facilities enjoyed by Space Engineers.

Toilet Seat that can be used as a seat and is fit for the creator of the legendary Red Ship; most engineers don’t want to get up after ‘taking care of business’.

Industrial Cockpits are used to control your ships. This industrial cockpit in both small and large grid versions will make your creations look much better. Offering unmatched visibility, the industrial cockpit enables engineers to experience stunning vistas while traversing landscapes and space.

Console blocks project blueprints for downscaled ships and stations, as well as display pictograms or customizable text. They are fantastic functional LCD panels where you can project your creations and show them to your friends. The sleek and crystal clear picture offered by this console allows Space Engineers to display designs and other important information.

Keen Software House needs to stay profitable in order to continue development and support of Space Engineers, and to take risks, to invest into experiments that may not pay off in the short term, and to develop innovative concepts.

A:Actually, even this update isn’t paid. The major part of this update (LCD screens, Replay Tool, new music tracks, smaller improvements) is free for everyone. Only the smaller and not mandatory part is paid - Decorative Pack, which you can purchase here.

A: To support future development of Space Engineers and other leading-edge projects we plan to work on at Keen Software House. Players kept asking us for something they could buy to support the development of Space Engineers, and the Decorative Pack is a great option for them.

A: Right after Space Engineers left early access and all hot issues were resolved. Most of the work was done by the Art team, the rest of the developers is working on other long-term updates.

A: We want more people to play Space Engineers, which means we must lower the barrier of entry. When the Space Engineers community grows, everyone benefits from this - more content on Workshop, more mods, more new ideas, more people to play with. This means that all non-mandatory features should be optional, so only those who really want them can pay for them. That’s why we decreased the price of Space Engineers, and made the Decorative Pack an optional purchase.

The LCD Panel is a thin panel that takes an entire block face and can display a variety of messages and textures that can be displayed constantly or triggered by the Programmable Block, Sensor, Timer Block, or any other block capable of triggering.

The "Color" sliders allow setting the text colour using RGB slider and "Backgr." allows setting background fill colours (default black). If using a transparent LCD then the text will be against transparency unless fill colour is added.

"Loaded Textures" has a list of the available default and modded (where applicable) images available for display on the screen. Select the desired image and select "Add to selection". The selected image will then show in the second "Selected textures" panel.

When multiple images are applied they can be set to cycle between with the duration between images being set by the "Image change interval" slider. To remove an image from display select it in the second panel and select "Remove selected".

The "Preserve aspect ratio" checkbox can be used to prevent the image being stretched if it does not fit the screen properly such as when using a wide LCD.

To set the LCD to display a script, choose "Script" from the dropdown. Choosing Script allows the display of information such as weather, artificial horizon for vehicles, Energy and Hydrogen level etc.

The panel"s title and text can be made public, private, or a combination of both. Textures applied can be selected from a list or custom textures can be selected. Textures can be set to rotate on a timer, changing from one to the next. GPS coordinates shown in the GPS format in the text panel will appear in the GPS and can be activated (=shown on HUD).

The LCD Panel could be accessed with the programmable block as IMyTextPanel. It could work in ´Texture Mode´ in which the selected textures are shown or the ´Text Mode´ in which the text is shown. The following methods are available:

Visual Script Builder allows you to create Space Engineers scripts with a user interface. You don"t need to know anything about programming. Just enter the name of the block you want to control and choose what to do with it. Chain logic statements together to create complex behaviors.

A large number of Space Engineers players are unable to utilize programming. The scripting documentation is poor, and the in-game editor doesn"t provide any help. Many people are unfamiliar with coding, and C# in Space Engineers doesn"t make for a simple beginner language. There are scripts available on the Steam Workshop, but those rarely work for custom applications.

I developed this tool to let anyone capable of playing Space Engineers write their own custom scripts. I tried to make it as feature-rich as possible while still being easy to use.

Generate Script button will replace Copy Script to Clipboard button to keep from generating the entire script so often. When the button is clicked, or the script has to be generated for the interface to update properly, the Copy Script to Clipboard button returns. Just clicking Generate Script won"t copy. You"ll have to click again once the script has been generated.

Keep in mind that as you create your script, the page is updated automatically. You will not need to "Apply" your logic to add it to the script. As you add logic chunks to the page, those logic chunks are used in the script. Removing them from the page removes them from the script.

In Visual Script Builder, everything is driven by logic chunks. One logic chunk can either check a condition (e.g. If Light X is ON), or apply an action (e.g. Turn Light Y ON). You can insert logic chunks and remove logic chunks at any point in the script. There is no limit to the number of logic chunks you can use. Each logic chunk consists of the logic type, the in-game Space Engineers block it applies to, and the in-game block"s data.

When writing the text you want displayed on an LCD panel, you can use any variables that you created in your script by surrounding them with brackets. For example, if you saved a variable called totalpower, you could display its value on an LCD panel by writing [totalpower]. This can be combined with any other text, or any other variables. Total Power: [totalpower] would display Total Power: 3.00MW. See additional information about using LCD panels below.

In order to send items to an inventory or take items from an inventory, you must give the other inventory a name. This is done by typing a name into the the Inventory line of the other block. If the other block is not otherwise used, you can create a DOlogic chunk at the top of your script for that block, give the correct inventory a name, and leave all other fields blank for that logic chunk. This will define the inventory without applying any actions or changing any properties (though you can also apply actions or change properties if you want).

Let"s create a script that pulls Iron Ore from a Small Cargo Container and puts it into a Refinery. You need two DO blocks for this script; one for the Small Cargo Container, and one for the Refinery. For this example, we will send the ore to the Refinery. Create a DO block for the Refinery first. In the Refinery"s first inventory, enter a name for the inventory (ex. refinv). Now create a DO block for the Small Cargo Container. In the Small Cargo Container"s inventory, find Iron Ore. You"ll see a buttonSend, an input field, the word to and another input field. The first input is the amount, which you can leave blank to send all. The second input is the inventory you"re sending the items to. When you click that box, the refinv inventory you named earlier will be suggested. Click on the name to choose that inventory. The Iron Ore line should look like this: Send(blank) to refinv. Your script is complete. When it is run, it will attempt to send all Iron Ore from the Small Cargo Container to the Refinery"s first inventory (for ores). Note that this same result could be achieved by reversing these blocks, giving the Small Cargo Container inventory a name, and applying Take (blank) from smallcargoinv in the Refinery"s Iron Ore option in its first inventory.

Don"t worry about highlighting and copying, just click the button to copy your entire script to the clipboard and paste it into the editor in Space Engineers.

The result script has a line at the top which represents your entire script. If you decide you want to change something about your script after it"s complete, you can copy that weird looking line into the Load box to continue from where you left off. Be sure to copy the entire line, starting with //. It will likely be longer than the width of the in-game editor, so make sure you copy from the start of the second line. If you aren"t sure you got it all, you can use CTRL-A to highlight your entire script, then copy and paste it into a Windows text editor. From there you should be able to copy the entire load line.

On the left hand side of the page is an Overview box. It shows the simplified logic structure of the script. Moving the mouse over the lines in this overview will highlight the corresponding logic chunks in the script creator. Clicking a line will scroll to the chosen logic chunk. The Overview box will remain on the left hand side of the page.

As you can see, our variable (here named variableName) is followed by a question mark (?), the text to display when true (trueText), a colon (:), and the text to display when false (falseText). For use on the LCD panel, we must enclose this whole string in brackets. In a more realistic scenario, we might want to display ON when our Reactor is on, and OFF when our Reactor is off. We can create a boolean variable called reactorOn for the Reactor"s On/Off state by typing a new variable name (reactorOn) into the Save As box for the OnOff property of the Reactor. For this property, true means the reactor is on. To get the text to display correctly, we can type the following into an LCD panel.

As of Update 1.0.3, it"s also possible to do calculations right inside the text of the LCD panel. This allows you to display your power percentage. Mathematically, power percentage is:

To do more complex calculations, you can use double brackets. This escapes the text string, and executes any code you type as though you were writing code in the in-game script editor.

This can cause your script not to compile if you don"t use the correct C# syntax. There is no error checking in VSB to ensure the code you typed is valid.

The Block Name box is where you enter the name of the Space Engineers block you want to work with. If this is left blank, the default value will be used for the chosen block type. Leave this blank.

That"s it! You"re now ready to try the script out. Click the Copy Script To Clipboard button, and paste the code into a Programmable Block in Space Engineers. Running the code will toggle on/off an Interior Light with the name "Interior Light".

In Space Engineers, create a Programmable Block. Go into the Programmable Block"s menu and click Edit. Delete everything in the editor and paste in your script. CTRL-C and CTRL-V work in the editor. Click Check Code to check the code for errors, then click Remember & Exit to save. Be careful, as using ALT-TAB to switch out of Space Engineers will revert your script to the last saved script. It is easy to lose your changes.

To run the script, open the Programmable Block"s menu and click Run. You can also assign this action to your toolbar in a ship, or to a button panel by dragging the Programmable Block to the bar and choosing Run with default argument.

If you want your script to be run constantly (for example, waiting for a door to open and triggering the lights to turn on) you can use the Frequency dropdown in the Script Settings menu. It will automatically run your script every 1, 10, or 100 ticks. There are 60 ticks per second in-game. This feature was introduced in version 1.0.8, but can cause issues when trying to use Arguments in the Programmable Block. With older versions, or to avoid issues with Arguments, you have to use a timer block. Create a Timer block and set the Trigger Delay to 1 second. Click Setup Actions, and drag your Programmable Block to the first space on the bar. Again, use Run with default argument. Then drag your Timer block to the next space on the bar and choose Start. Now start the Timer block, and your script will be executed every second.

If your script has an error, possibly due to a block name being incorrect, you"ll see an error in the Programmable Block"s detailed info. You may need to open the script editor and save the script again before re-running.

VST was designed to allow users to design game scenarios for Space Engineers without needing previous coding experience. Mod developers can utilize this tool to create scripted gameplay events, play cutscenes, or modify game values at runtime.​

World Outliner: Panel in VST which interfaces with any World currently running in an instance of Space Engineers, allowing designers to view, create, edit, and delete Waypoints outside of IST.

This pane lists all available scripts in the open scenario. From here you can open scripts to edit, create new scripts, and drag Common scripts onto open Objective graphs.

Scripts are organized by type (See Script Types section below) and listed alphabetically by file name. ​New scripts can be created through this pane by right clicking the parent directory you want to create or import a script under.When creating a new Mission script, VST will automatically create an accompanying State Machine script in addition to the required World directory and files. Only one State Machine can be run per Mission, so there is no need to create new State Machines by themselves.

Click on any item in the tree to select it. At the bottom of the pane there is a contextual description box, with a brief summary of the selected node’s functionality.

This pane interfaces with Space Engineers, allowing designers to view, create, edit, and delete Waypoints inside an open World. The World does not need to be connected to the open Scenario however, and the Outliner will connect to any running game World. If no World is currently running, the Outliner will be greyed out and inactive.

​The top buttons are useful for quick actions, such as adding a new Waypoint or Saving. When a new Waypoint is added via the New Waypoint button, it is created at the camera’s current position in the world. In IST the new Waypoint can be moved in 3d space with its gizmo, or have its position values set manually.

The Script Editor is where the majority of work is done in VST, displaying the Graphs for any Mission, Objective, or Common script you open. State Machine graphs function slightly differently, and will be discussed in the next section. All open scripts are listed as tabs at the top with their names, and can be reorganized as individual panes in your workspace.

Gameplay scripting is designed by creating and connecting Nodes in a script’s Graph in this pane. Nodes are called in sequence going from left to right along the white Sequence Line, starting at an orange Event node.

The State Machine graph can be opened by double-clicking a State Machine in the Scenario Explorer pane. This Graph works similarly to the Script Editor, but only uses a small number of node types unique to State Machines:

State Machines control when and in what order Objective scripts are run, allowing for some code to only be run at specific times. While code in a Mission script is accessible at any time during the Mission, code inside Objective scripts are only accessible when a State Machine is running the Objective.

A State Machine can be started from a Mission script by calling the StartStateMachine node. Using a State Machine to run Objective scripts allows you to better organize and optimize your scripts, but it is not required.

States can be connected through transitions, which determines the order in which the states will be run. Each transition has a name given when it is made, which must be referenced when completing an Objective script.

When a State Machine is started, it begins by running the state denoted in the World’s Sandbox.sbc data file under the VisualScriptManagerSessionComponent section. If this node is deleted and no longer exists on the Graph, Space Engineers will select a different node with no incoming connections as the initial state to run.

To progress the State Machine’s Cursor to the next state, the Objective script needs to call a Complete node, and specify the name of the transition to progress down. This stop the current Objective, and begins running the Objective associated with the connected State in the named transition.

If this is your first time running VST, you’ll be prompted to “Select Content folder of the game.” Navigate to the Steam installation folder on your computer, and select …\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\

​If Space Engineers is already running, you can open your scenario by selecting New Game on the Main Menu, then scrolling down the list of official scenarios to view your Local scenarios. These local scenario directories can be found in your AppData folder for Space Engineers, in the \AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\ folder.

You can open Space Engineers and directly load directly into your scenario by clicking “Run” on the Ribbon bar. The “Run Scenario” button can be used to also save all changes directly to the scenario folder in \Mods\, rather than to your \Saves\ folder, making it easier to edit and save changes to your World. This method requires that Space Engineers not have any instances already running on your computer.

​When the game has finished loading and you gain control of the character in the world, the GameStarted Event in the Mission script will be called. If you left the StartStateMachine node connected to this event, the State Machine will also start running its first State node’s Objective script, and the code prints a Hello World message to the Chat window.

​Regardless of what kind of scenario you’re making, all scripting in VST begins with Event nodes. These nodes fire when their associated event takes place in the game. GameStarted, for instance, fires immediately when the scenario begins for the first time, and any connected nodes will be called when that happens.

The easiest Event node to begin scripting with is ButtonPressedTerminalName, which fires any time a button panel is activated in the game. This event is great for causing scripts to run at specific times, since the player has direct control over when it fires.

It can sometimes be difficult to know what specific code is running in your script, since many nodes do not produce visible changes in the level. An easy way to debug your code is to use the SendChatMessage node to print messages to the in-game Chat window. Printing messages this way can help you determine when an Event is firing, as well as enables you to print variable values through the message field.

​Next, click Run Scenario on the Ribbon bar to launch Space Engineers and load directly into this scenario with saving enabled. When you gain control of the character, create a button panel block, and assign any block action to the first slot.

In the previous section you created a simple button event, connected to a chat message node. Since there are no logical checks, and the Event node is on the Mission script’s Graph, this message will be printed to the Chat window when any button is pressed at any time during the Mission. You can easily constrain this code to only one specific button by checking some of the event’s parameters.

​First, you’ll need to have a Branch node connected along the Sequence Line between the Event and the SendChatMessage nodes. Branch nodes check a boolean value, much like a traditional If / Else statement, and only executes one of its two output connections. We’ll use this Branch node to check the name of the button panel block provided by the Event node, so connect the True output to the SendChatMessage node.

StringContains is a great way to analyze strings such as Entity names, and determine if a sample string can be identified within the value string. For our event, we’ll want to check the button panel’s terminal name, and only print the message if it contains a specific string. Double click into the “contains” field on the StringContains node, type “test”, then click “OK” to confirm. This will cause the StringContains to evaluate “true” for its output boolean value only when the Event’s output name string contains the word “test”.

Open the panel’s terminal, and click the Name field to edit the block’s name. Adding the test string to the name will now allow the chat message to print. Keep in mind that StringContains is case sensitive, so adding “Test” or “TEST” to the terminal name will evaluate to false in our logic.

Next, we’ll learn how to start and progress through a series of Objective scripts via the State Machine. Don’t forget to save your changes to retain the updated terminal name!

In the previous section, you learned how to target a specific button by name, but it is still accessible at any time during the Mission. Moving the nodes into an Objective script allows the code to only be run during specific States.

First, click and drag in an open space on the graph to create a selection box. Drag the box around the Event, Branch, and SendChatMessage nodes, and release to select all the newly created nodes. Press Ctrl+C on your keyboard to copy these nodes to your clipboard.

Next, open the Mission01_Start Objective script by double clicking it in the Scenario Explorer pane. Press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the nodes into the Objective script. Now that you have successfully pasted the nodes, return to the Mission script and delete the selected nodes there. The button can now only print your message when the Start state is active.

By default, new scenarios are set up with code to start the State Machine on GameStarted, and print a Hello World message before moving to the Part state. Go back to the _Start Objective script, and move the Complete node from the Init event to the end of your ButtonPressed event. This way, the State Machine will not progress past this state until the test button is pressed.

Using the State Machine and Objective scripts in this way can allow you to design unique scripted events, and control when they are called during your scenario. It also helps keep the scripts stay organized and optimized, since large amounts of nodes can slow down viewing a script in VST.

In order to set your scenario’s description, you’ll need to open your scenario’s .SCF data file in a text editor program, such as Notepad. You can find this data file in the \Mods\ScenarioName\Scenarios\ScenarioName\ folder, and it will be named the same as your scenario’s name. Between the and tags, you can write out a custom description to display to players on the Scenario selection screen.

After you’ve set up these cosmetic extras, your scenario is ready to publish. On the Main Menu for Space Engineers, click New Game to view the Scenario selection screen. Here you can review your changes to the thumbnail and description, and click Publish at the bottom when you’re ready to share.

The In-game Scripting Tool (IST), also known as the “Scripting Tools” screen, is used to create and modify entities in a World. IST is ideal for placing Waypoints, creating Trigger volumes, and naming grids or blocks for referencing with VST.

These are the main scripts for a Scenario, and are set up in sequence on the Scenario Editor tab. A Scenario can have multiple Missions, but only one Mission can be run at a time. Each mission requires its own World, which is generated automatically when creating a new Scenario or Mission script.

These scripts begin running when the game is loaded, based on their order in the Scenario Editor tab, and will run until the SessionClose node is executed. Events and logic in this script can run at any point while playing this Mission.

To create a new Mission in your Scenario, right click in the Scenario Explorer and select Add New Mission. You will be prompted to input a Name, select a World and Loading Image to use as templates, and input an optional Loading Text. After clicking Create VST will generate a new Mission script, State Machine, and all required World files.

​These scripts control the flow of individual Objective scripts in sequence during a Mission. The State Machine can be started from any script with the StartStateMachine node. Each State in the State Machine represents a specific Objective script, which are connected through Transition connections. States without input Transitions will be treated as starting nodes, and run when the State Machine is started.

All Transitions have an identifying name, which is input when connecting two States and creating the Transition. The Cursor moves along Transitions, activating the Objective scripts associated with its current State. To move the Cursor from one State to the next during play, the associated Objective script must execute the Complete node and specify the Transition name.

Specific scripts that are only run at certain times during the mission, and controlled by the State Machine. Code in these scripts do not run if a State Machine Cursor is not active on its State. When a Complete node is executed in an Objective script, the script is stopped and the Cursor moves to the next State in the State Machine.

Objective scripts are useful for segmenting your code, and only running what is needed to at a given time. This can keep your Scenario organized, making it easier to navigate and debug, as well as maintain steady run-time performance.

This script type is used for generalized, modular logic which can be repeated multiple in places. Common scripts can be placed in Mission or Objective scripts as nodes by clicking and dragging them onto a graph from the Scenario Explorer pane.

Two node types are specific to Common scripts: Input and Output, which mark the beginning and end of the Common script respectively. Both of these nodes can have parameters added to them, allowing for variables to be passed in or returned out.

I"m currently writing some ingame scripts in space engineers (vanilla) to show certain data on ingame LCD panels. Besides text I also want to display some diagrams. Unfortunately space engineers LCD panels do not provide monospaced font what makes it quite difficult to generate ASCII art diagrams.

This guide is designed for people who are new to coding. It will help with your first scripts in Space Engineers. I recommend it to anyone looking for an advanced guide.

English is not my first tongue so don’t expect me to be a linguistic master. I also didn"t learn programming/coding. My knowledge came from google research and annoying my friends with stupid questions about C#. This guide may contain minor errors or incorrect terms. However, I am certain that this guide will help anyone who doesn"t have any scripting experience to create simple scripts in order to assist Space Engineers.

This is the way to address the block within our grid. We simply place the block"s exact name between the two "". We won"t spend too much time on the text. We"ll come back later. We will need to write the type again at the end in order to verify that the block that is being assigned to our variable has exactly the right type. If you forget this, and there is an LCD panel named "Super Mega Station Rotor", it would get assigned the variable. This may not sound necessary, but it"s a safe script.

You don’t have to remember everything. I will add a chapter which lists everything you may need. I will attempt to explain the most basic aspects of nearly every script in this part.

"//" or "/* *//" mark comments within your script. These comments will be ignored if the script is executed. This means that you can explain your code or simply give a headline. "//" will work for the current line. "/*///" will enclose the comment. Commenting is important for understanding a script.

"double": A third type of number. It is similar in concept to "float", but can have a larger number. This won"t be very important for basic programming. If you are using double as input, I would recommend using floating point. It is usually considered "double" when you assign a number to your script. To be treated "float", add an "f", such as "4.9f", after the number.

As in the first script above, we start by saving our block into variables.IMyMotorStator Rotor = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName("Example_Rotor") as IMyMotorStator;

After the correct case is identified, the break will cause a script to jump from the whole switch. This is important in order to save execution time as there won"t be any time spent checking all the other cases.case 1.571:

A list was created with the name Lights. The type of the list is also important. A list can"t contain objects that are not of the same type. Our type is "IMyInteriorLight" in this case. This is the type light block in Space Engineers. You can also make a list with the type "int".

This may be one of the most difficult steps for a beginner. There are many types and methods for building Space Engineers blocks. If you want me to explain the differences between properties and methods, I would have to ask another person. However, that doesn"t really matter.

For now, we"ll ignore the "Program” or "Save" functions. Your entire code is placed between the "" elements of the "Main” function. This is what gets executed when the script"s code is used. This is how the first script would look if it were implemented from the beginning.public Program()

I highly recommend that you do not use Space Engineers to write your scripts. Visual Studio combined with Malware"s extension is my preferred method. It has many wonderful features that you"ll love when coding. It also comes with a guide for how to install it and how you can use it.

This is all we can share for Programming guide for beginners – Space Engineers for today. I hope you enjoy the guide! If you have anything to add to this guide or we forget something please let us know via comment! We check each comment! Don’t forget to check SteamClue.com for MORE!

Complete guide for Automatic LCDs 2 script for Space Engineers. It will answer all your questions how to get LCDs to display dynamic info about your ship or station. You will find detailed information about how the commands are used with examples so you can fully use all the features as they were designed and implemented.

The LCD Panelis a thin panelthat takes an entire block face and can display a variety of messages and textures that can be displayed constantly or triggered by the Programmable Block, Sensor, Timer Block, or any other block capable of triggering. To access its settings, select it and pressing the "T" or "K" key.

Customizable cockpit lcdscreens. All Display Panels work with the same principal. They are capable of displaying a few inbuilt images and texts with different sizes, backgrounds and fonts, available for both grid sizes (no variation between colors and fonts on one panel).

On large grid has a 2x1 size. On small grid it takes up a 6x2 size, enabling a much bigger option for display. A Text Panel, despite it"s name, can also display images. The only difference is that it is slightly shorter on it"s top. Corner LCDs are much smaller display panels.
