is there a way to have the script run a different script with an argument. like
PB1 [GPS:0.0.0]
and the script I'll either find a program block named PB1 and run "GPS:0.0.0" or you set the name in the script like timer blocks and PB1 is just the pass for it

@Kazul
Actually, if you change "const bool LCDOutput" to false it disables that part of the code allowing you to not use LCDs.

Still works! Just make sure you have the two correctly named LCDs on the receiving grid even if you dont use them otherwise the receiver will error out and stop working.

Specifying antenna address in the sent string? I can look into it @Rusted Droid, shouldn't be too hard.

Any plan adding string sending to linked programing block?
like
-ant-adress-:PB:Name=text_string

I am searching the way to use Easy Automation 2 over antenna
That script use RUN lcdblockwithcode(CodeBlock)

Most of antenna scripts use single timerblock trigger

Curious, will this work with Laser Antenna's?

I've implemented {location} phrases, when you type {location} in your transmissions it will now be replaced with the GPS location of the currently linked antenna in the script, this allows you to create things like black boxes that allow your ship to ping back their current location using a timer when they receive a specific passphrase, if you set up a system like this you'll always be able to find your ships as long as they're within antenna range.

if the text disappears too quickly just pause, I wanted the video to be quick and not waste time and I'm just a naturally quick reader, I tried to make the text appear a little longer during editing though.

Great Thx

@GalaxyGamerYT
I'll make a youtube video explaining how to set it up.

Awesome, now I can get automated reports from my drones so I can figure out roughly where they crash.

I can't get the script to work @404 GLaDOS

@pro100tv
You can set the script up to do something when it receives a specific phrase, think of it as a "password".

When this script receives one of it's passwords it activates the timer block that that password is bound to, the timer block can do whatever you want, turning lights on, opening doors, turning off turrets, or even sending another message through your burst transmitter.

Would it be possible to send a message which would run an argument of the programmable block on the receiver grid?

Cool little example of how power efficient the script is;
You can get up to 25 full burst transmissions (49864m, almost full burst) out of a fully charged small battery with the script, wow.

there was a mod for that a long time ago dont know if it still works

@chrishoule1366
I'm unsure whether that could be possible, but hey, try asking some modders.

this is nice it makes me wonder if its possible to make coms only available with antennas so no gen chat and you have to send messeges through a terminal

> "Will the antenna be visible for other players when a message is sent?"
Yes.

> "How long does it take to send a message from point A to B?"
A transmission currently takes 1 second, and once it's transmitted the message is received by all PBs that are connected to that channel instantly, it's just the same old sending function that all scripts with this functionality use.

Just for clarification: Will the antenna be visible for other players when a message is sent? How long does it take to send a message from point A to B?

@Shotblocker
I see no reason why it wouldn't work with something like that once relays are supported.

That'd honestly be pretty awesome to see, maybe such networks will have a higher likelihood of being built on servers with a hidden system like this.

Very cool script. Waiting to see if it can be used with a satellite network for a sort of "Starlink" wireless global connection. For something like this:

Hope you have fun with it @ARK!

I will be using this

Cool

> "If this is not in the script already, a way to put the grid name/ part of name that you want to send a message to would be nice."
The script can't get the grid name from the antenna it sends to before sending, so this is impossible.

> "Does this work with modded antennas with longer range."
If you check in the script you'll see that I've written that the transmission distance can be larger with a modded antenna.

Does this work with modded antennas with longer range.

If this is not in the script already, a way to put the grid name/ part of name that you want to send a message to would be nice.
Example: frequency is 1.00a, the grid name is “ship”, it would send it to any grids on the frequency and with the word ship in the grid name.

Cool

@ARK
Not currently, but I'm working with Tavak to set up a parent child system for the network, then such things will become possible and very power efficient!

Can you link it up with more antennas to get farther range
