Overview
The sensor is a powered block that is able to detect the movement of players, objects, Asteroids, Ships, and other entities. It can be assigned actions to be triggered when something is detected, and after it leaves it's radius.
Usage
The sensor has to be powered in order to function. It has a default detection radius of 50m. It is capable of controlling any blocks that are powered, or have any trigger-able actions. It is able to control blocks that have Ownership set to Nobody.
Indicators
 |
Standby | This is its passive state, when there are no detectable objects in its radius |
 |
Object Detected | An object it is programmed to detect is within its radius |
 |
No Power | There is no power being supplied to it, or it is switched off. |
