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.
