'''Note''' since 2015 "Blocks" and "BlockGroups" properties are gone. Use "void GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocks(List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks)" method instead. <ref>http://forum.keenswh.com/threads/gridterminalsystem-blocks-doesnt-work-anymore.7365691/</ref>

All terminal blocks have the following properties:
 
All terminal blocks have the following properties:

API List

This is a list of all API functions currently available[1].

GridTerminalSystem

Currently only following “built-in” variable that user can use: GridTerminalSystem. This is entry point of entire grid terminal system.

Properties

Property Return Type Description get set
Blocks List<IMyTerminalBlock> Returns a list of all blocks on the grid V X
BlockGroups List<IMyBlockGroup> Returns a list of all groups in the grid. V X

Note since 2015 "Blocks" and "BlockGroups" properties are gone. Use "void GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocks(List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks)" method instead. [2]

Methods

Method Return Type Description
GetBlocksOfType<T>(List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks, Func<IMyTerminalBlock, bool> collect = null) void Puts all found blocks of provided type in the list that are connected to the grid
SearchBlocksOfName(string name,List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks, Func<IMyTerminalBlock, bool> collect = null) void Puts all found blocks of provided name in the list that are connected to the grid
GetBlockWithName(string name) IMyTerminalBlock Returns a block with provided name

IMyCubeBlock

IMyCubeBlock is base class for every terminal block.

Properties

Property Return Type Description get set
IsBeingHacked boolean Returns true if block is being hacked V X
IsFunctional boolean Returns true if current block is operational V X
IsWorking boolean Returns true if current block is powered V X
Position VRageMath.Vector3I Returns current position V X

IMyTerminalBlock

MyTerminalBlock is base class for every terminal block.

Properties

Property Return Type Description get set
CustomName String Returns name of the block V X
CustomNameWithFaction String ... V X
DetailedInfo String ... V X
ShowOnHUD boolean Whether block shows up on hud V X

Methods

Method Return Type Description
HasLocalPlayerAccess() boolean ...
HasPlayerAccess(long playerId) boolean ...
RequestShowOnHUD(bool enable) void ...
SetCustomName(string text) void Set the name of the block
SetCustomName(StringBuilder text) void Set the name of the block
GetActions(List<ITerminalAction> resultList, Func<ITerminalAction, bool> collect = null) void Populates list with available actions
SearchActionsOfName(string name,List<ITerminalAction> resultList, Func<ITerminalAction, bool> collect = null) void Populates list with available actions matching the name (Case Insensitive)
GetActionWithName(string name) ITerminalAction Returns action with specified name (Case Sensitive)
ApplyAction(string actionName) void Applies an action of the given name to this block. (Case Sensitive)

ITerminalAction

ITerminal action is representation of concrete action that can be triggered.

Properties

Property Return Type Description get set
Id String Returns id of the action V X
Name StringBuilder Returns the name of the action V X

Methods

Method Return Type Description
Apply(IMyCubeBlock block) void Apply the action on a block

IMyFunctionalBlock

IMyFunctionalBlock is base class for every block that can be turned on or off, it’s derived from IMyTerminal block e.g. every Functional block is Terminal block but not all terminal blocks can be turned on or off.

Properties

Property Return Type Description get set
Enabled boolean Returns true if the block is turned on V X

Action List

All terminal blocks have the following properties: Interface name: this name is the name of the block in code, it can differ from the name as displayed in the building screen. E.g. Antenna interface name is IMyRadioAntenna - you need to use this interface if you want to get all antennas.

Parent: this is parent of the block (all blocks have IMyTerminalBlock as parent), this can be used for getting type of blocks instead of concrete block type. E.g. if you want to get all lights in grid you will use IMyLightingBlock, if you want only Interior Light you can use IMyInteriorLight.

Field: this is read only field available for block e.g. for IMyBeacon you can get Radius property. Based on this property you can increase/decrease radius of beacon.

Actions: these are all available actions for block with their names in game, so if you want to increase broadcast radius for antenna, you need to execute DecreaseRadius action for block.
