Jump Drive Module

The Jump Drive module makes jump drives readable in conditions. Use it to react to how much charge a jump drive holds, or to what it is doing.

The module adds conditions only. It does not add any commands.

Properties

Tips

Properties and predicates are very useful in conditions. A property is compared with an operator and a value (charge < 25%), while a predicate stands alone (low). See Conditional Logic to use them in when rules and if steps.

A group of jump drives is compared by its average charge.

Property	Description
`charge`	The stored charge as a ratio, from `0` to `1`. Compare with a percentage, ie. `charge < 25%`.
`status`	`ready`, `charging` or `jumping`.

Predicate	True when
`charging`	The jump drive is charging.
`jumping`	The jump drive is jumping.
`low`	Charge is under 20%. Has a 5% buffer.
`critical`	Charge is under 10%. Has a 3% buffer.
`empty`	Charge is under 2%.
`full`	Charge is over 98%.
`ready`	Charge is over 99%.

Jump drives share charge and the low, critical, empty, full and ready predicates with batteries. In a group of mixed blocks, each block is tested with the property it has.

Note

ready is both a state word of status and a charge predicate. As a predicate on a jump drive, ready means the charge is over 99%.

Use a predicate

Notify the pilot when the jump drive has charged and when it starts charging:

Mother > Custom Data
[variables]
SCREEN="Cockpit:1"
JUMP_DRIVE="Jump Drive"

[rules]
JumpCharged=
| when $JUMP_DRIVE full;
|   view/notify $SCREEN "Jump drive charged." --level=success;

JumpCharging=
| when $JUMP_DRIVE charging;
|   view/notify $SCREEN "Jump drive charging." --level=info;

Compare a property

Compare status to a state word to check what the jump drive is doing in a routine:

Mother > Custom Data
[commands]
CheckJump=
| if $JUMP_DRIVE status == ready;
|   light/color "Jump Light" green;
| else;
|   light/color "Jump Light" red;
| end;
