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

Air Vent Front Indicator Blue.png
Standby This is its passive state, when there are no detectable objects in its radius
Air Vent Front Indicator Green.png
Object Detected An object it is programmed to detect is within its radius
Air Vent Front Indicator Red.png
No Power There is no power being supplied to it, or it is switched off.

Terminal

  • Setup Actions - Set up actions for the device to take when someone enters/leaves detection radius
  • Left extent - The detection range on the left side of the sensor
  • Right extent - The detection range on the right side of the sensor
  • Bottom extent - The detection range on the bottom side of the sensor
  • Top extent - The detection range on the top side of the sensor
  • Back extent - The detection range on the back side of the sensor
  • Front extent - The detection range on the front side of the sensor
  • Detect players - The sensor will be able to detect players if selected
  • Detect floating objects - The sensor will be able to detect small objects such as Ores, and/or Raw Materials if selected
  • Detect asteroids - The sensor will be able to detect asteroids if selected
  • Detect small ships - The sensor will be able to detect small ships if selected
  • Detect large ships - The sensor will be able to detect large ships if selected
  • Detect stations - The sensor will be able to detect stations if selected
  • Detect Neutral - Detects blocks not owned by anyone
  • Detect Friendly - Detects blocks belonging to you, and your faction
  • Detect Owner - Detects blocks belonging to only you
  • Detect Hostile - Detects any hostile owned blocks

Tips

Known Issues

  • Update 01.112 The sensor and Landing Gear seem to have issues with detection. If the sensor is set to detect small ships, and one locks into place near it, the sensor will trigger prematurely.
