Terminal Block Module

The Terminal Block Module allows the user to interact with terminal blocks on the grid. All blocks accessible via Block Catalogue are considered terminal blocks.

Commands

on

Turn the block on.

block/on <Block|Group> [--options]

Example

block/on DrillPiston;

off

Turn the block off.

block/off <Block|Group> [--options]

Example

block/off DrillPiston;

action

Run a toolbar action on the block. This is more expensive than a traditional command and Malware advises against it. Use this command sparingly to access automations that Mother does not access natively.

block/action <Block|Group> <Action> <...ActionArgs>

Example

We want to run the Set and Move action on a piston. It accepts two arguments: the distance to move and the speed of the piston. These values are entered in the same order you would normally enter them via the ingame menus.

# set the piston to move to 5m distance at 2.5m/s
block/action DrillPiston SetAndMove 5.0 2.5;

Hooks

The following hooks can be define in the block's Custom Data, and will be triggered when the corresponding command is called:

Example

[hooks]
onOn=light/color DrillIndicatorLight green;
onOff=light/color DrillIndicatorLight red;

or

[hooks]
DrillPiston.onOn=light/color DrillIndicatorLight green;
"Emergency Batteries".onOff=light/blink "Battery Indicators" off;
