Ok, here's my request for a few things that I stumbled upon while trying stuff with the ingame API :)
First there are missing whitelist entries for ingame scripting:

Sandbox.Game.EntityComponents.MyResourceSourceComponent.HasCapacityRemainingByType(MyDefinitionId)
Sandbox.Game.EntityComponents.MyResourceSourceComponent.RemainingCapacityByType(MyDefinitionId)
All other ByType-Methods are already accessible, these ones only via the Properties (bool HasCapacityRemaining and float...

Can a script look up tool speed?
I really would love it if my auto welders had an idea of how fast they are able to finish a job so they don't skimp on the armour blocks which they cant check the integrity of because armour isn't a terminal block >.<
Right now the only way to be sure is to track steel plates going through which involves regulating how many get into the welder, which basically requires two sorting blocks and a container in an airlock system and even then you cant be sure the...

After the update, my inventory script stopped working. The code checker says "The type or member 'string MyObjectBuilder_Base.SubtypeName' is prohibited.'" The code in question is

Code:
var itemList = bl[i].GetInventory(0).GetItems(); 
  for(int j = 0;j<itemList.Count;++j){ 
  var it = itemList[j];

Update a script from a different computer

Hey everyone,

It's not exactly a programming but a workshop publishing question.

When in create a script in a computer A, I can of course download it on a computer B by the workshop but when I try to modify it I can't publish it in the same workshop object even if I download it with the same Steam account.
It seem that the script ownership is not linked to the Steam account.

Maybe the link is in a file ?

Hi,

I want to try to make my own script to stop using the auto pilot.
Because I have really too much trouble with that, and the last update seem to make it even worse.

Before the update my drone where working fine on planet but now I have again those bugs (the drone approch the coordinate and then start to fly slowly up).

Then I want to make a basic script that tell the drone to go to position x and then run another thing (programmable, timer, what ever).

All scripts that I found on the...

Is there a way to save the state of a block (all its properties and settings) and then at a later point restore it?

I am currently saving the On/Off state to the Custom Data field of the block but I would like a way to serialize all the other settings which can very from block to block.

hi ;)
im coding a control script for my sorters and for that i need a list of all component/ore/ingots ... ids.
aka anything that can land into a sorters filterlist.
the reason is i want to display a list of these items having the user select what he wants to be filtered,
but for that i need all the itemids to throw them at the sorters additem function.
i could create list by hand but that would exclude anything that comes from mods.

any idea?

Issue terminal commands to another ship?

Is there some script or programming that can access the terminal controls of another ship?

What I want to do is activate the Autopilot on a ship from another grid via a button press. You can do this via an Antenna and Remote Access, but what I'm looking for is essentially a shortcut for this function so I can do it with a single button.

This is actually an elevator driven by a Remote Control block and what I'm trying to put together is the "call elevator" button.

How can I roll my ship to align its floor with the floor of a station?

So I'm trying to make an automated ferry that will bounce around between 2 or more stations. To make this work really well, I want the ship to orient itself on the roll axis so that it's idea of "down" matches that of the station it's trying to dock at.

Unfortunately though, my knowledge of the in game API AND my knowledge of trigonometry leave a lot to be desired.

So, my first attempt was recommended to me on Reddit. Have a remote control in the front of the ship, a remote control on one...

Ingame scripts on online server (dedicated) not working as expected

Hey everyone,

I have a script which couldn't be any simpler:

public void Main(string argument, UpdateType updateSource)
{
IMyFunctionalBlock thruster = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName("Atmospheric Thrusters") as IMyFunctionalBlock;
thruster.ApplyAction("OnOff");
}​

In Offline mode this works just fine. I mean, why shouldn't it. (I have the thruster placed directly next to the programmable block, for testing purposes. Both blocks built and owned by me.)

Override Detailed Info

I think it would be quite handy if players could override the detailed info for a block and it replace it with some custom text.

For example the turret block currently displays nothing but you make a script that overwrote it and instead displayed how many bullets it had or how many shots it had fired.
