Fancy LCD Sign Script

• 06/08/2022 (1.2):
  
  • Added workaround for signs breaking on dedicated servers. (Check description)
    
  • Fixed text centering, sign text should now be perfectly centred.
• 10/05/2022 (1.1):
  
  • Changed the way in which multiple lines are formatted. (Updated description/guide).
    
  • Some minor code tweaks.

A script which provides you with the ability to create better looking LCD signs such as:


Made using Malware's Visual Studio extension MDK-SE[github.com].

• Place a programmable block and load this script.
  
• To create a sign, add the tag "FLCD" to anywhere in the LCD's name. (You can change this tag in the custom data, run the script with the argument "Update" afterwards)
  
• Set the LCD content type to "Script" and leave the script selected as "None".
  
• Once done, run the programmable block with the argument "get_blocks".
  
• Each sign should then look something like:

• To modify the background and text colour of the sign, use the sliders in the terminal. CHECK HEADING BELOW.
  
• Open up the custom data of the sign to modify it.
  
• Enter the text of the sign on the "Sign Text" line.
  
• Fill out other settings if needed.

If you intend to use this script on dedicated servers, you will need to set the background and text colour before you place this script.

If you want to insert multiple lines, place a vertical pipe character ("|") at the start of every new line, so for example:

Entering the sign text as:
Will actually show up as:

• The images on the left and right of the sign can be changed in the custom data.
  
• To change the image shown, change the "Sprite" line to whatever image you want. Images can be found in the table at the bottom of this page. The default is "Arrow", an example from the list below is "Stop". NOTE: You can also use the direct data names incase it isn't available from the list.
  
• You can change the colour of the image by changing the colour line, by default, its white, the value represents an RGB colour, so for example, red would be 255 0 0 and yellow would be 255 255 0.

If for whatever reason you don't want to use "FLCD" as the tag, or you want to change how often each LCD is refreshed, you can modify the scripts settings by opening up the custom data of the programmable block. After you are done making changes, run the programmable block with the argument "update", otherwise, your changes wont be implemented.

1. Tag: Modify this to change how the script will get each sign block, scripts with the tag in their name will be converted to signs.
   
2. Refresh Rate: This is how often the signs will be refreshed, you may want to set this option to be very frequent when creating or modifying signs and to something infrequent like 10 seconds when finished, this can help performance but is optional.

You can use the table below to find an image which you want to display, you can either type the nickname or the data name. (Data names are case sensitive!)

NOTE: Sprites which aren't listed in the table will still work if you use their direct data name, such as for example: "UVChecker".

This particular example uses Draygo's FreeSans font mod if you are wondering, which can be found Here
