Multstate DHD for Wormhole Portal (Full Dedicated Server Support!) and Stargate (working teleport)

This is an example on how to use a single DHD to dial out to multiple addresses, without needing to rename it all the time.

This method uses the buttons on a button panel as bits. This indexes into a list of address to chose the right one.

It then renames the DHD to that name, and indicates a valid address.


Requires:
Button panel(s)
1 Timer block + (status)
1 additional Timer block for each button you want to use (bit blocks)
1 Programming block +
Additional programming block for Iris, if desired
LCD Panel
1 interior light +
1 interior light for each button you want to use (bit lights)

1 source gate
1 source DHD

As many destination gates and, optionally, DHDs as you want

Steps:
Keep in mind all source blocks must be on same grid.

Add source gate and DHD, name doesn't matter
Place several destination gates around the map. Name the gates something and remember their names
Place one or more button panels (2 buttons panels have 8 buttons, which are 255 possible addresses)
Add 1 interior light, anywhere on the source grid, named "Interior Light Status"
Add additional lights, one for each button (not panel) that will be used
Name each light "Interior Light Code_X" where X is a number from 1 to the number of buttons you have, eg "Interior Light Code_1"
Place 1 timer block, named "Timer Block Run"
Place additional timer blocks, once for each button, as with the lights. Named "Timer Block X", where X matches the interior light number above
Place an LCD panel, named "LCD Panel_Gates"
Create a new block group, named "DHD-Group" that contains the DHD, the LCD panel, and all the lights created above.
Place a Programmable block, named Programmable Block SGC

The buttons should be arranged in a binary configuration. What that means is if all placed in a single line, the first one is the right-most one:
Panel 2 - Panel 1
8 7 6 5 - 4 3 2 1
128 64 32 16 - 8 4 2 1

The right-most on will be button #4 on panel #1 (first bit). Using this information we go to the next step:
Go to the first bit button (remember, button #4 on the first button panel), and set the action to the ‘Trigger Now’ action on first timer block (Timer Block 1)
Repeat for each button on each panel, going from right to left (button #3 will be assigned to Timer Block #2, etc…)
Go to Timer Block 1, and set the following actions:
#1, Toggle Interior Light Code_1 On/Off
#2 Timer Block Run Start
#3 Toggle Interior Light Status Off
Repeat for each additional timer block, incrementing the Interior Light Code_X to match said Timer Block
Go to Timer Block Run and set the following action:
Programmable Block SGC - Run

Now to set final values.

Go to LCD Panel, and edit the Public Text
Add a list of destination gate address, one on each line
Click OK to save
Go to the Programmable Block SGC, and set the code to the script found on the workshop here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=396040403

Test:
Using the list in the LCD panel, activate the buttons on the panel to correspond to the number it is in the list
For example, for the first address, just enable the first bit (button #4 on Panel #1)
For the second, enable the second bit (Button #3 on Panel #1), and disable the first bit
For the third gate on the list, enable both the first and second bits.
The lights should turn on and off with the button presses
When address is entered, push the button on the DHD to dial.
