can you use this to modify output of a display block based on a variable such as [sector]?

what sort of thing for the center of the room?

Seeking advice from the hive mind. This is my first attempt at a decent bedroom. Looking for thoughts/improvements (obviously color) but does it look decent? Changed to standard armor just for less lines.

Right, my original statement was that I want the sensor to read the output not the input of sensor blocks when comparing them. The subject of password was a tangenent based on whether it is reading the output which it's not because if you are in sector 2,2,2 and have it compare [sector] with 2...

The input to the display module is [password] + string and the output is "" so it cannot be comparing the output or it would be true if compared to any empty display module. Therefore it must compare the input with the way it is currently implemented. You are looking at [password] as a variable...

[Password] isn't compared to anything. All it does is tells the display block not to output the next bit. It gets ignored for purposes of comparison. Other than that input is compared not output. My idea was for it to compare output except in cases of [password]

No. Password is just ignored for purposes of comparison the only thing it does is tell the display not to actually print whatever comes next but to store it on that module. He is correct, currently checking output would compare nothing to whatever you typed because password is an identifier not...

Ok. I will admit I skipped around in this thread so if my ideas have been said already I apologize in advance. With regards to the paying your crew thing. I think a faction bank should be implemented that can be used to pay crew. This gives reason for factions to trade. (Reference freelancer...

If you want raw data you can enter raw data as the output. Being able to say "if [variable] equals ___" is way more usefull than just passwords which are the only exception to using output over input

But the [password] already has special exceptions that other things dont. And how is it less versatile to check output? I agree with TheGT, that should be the exception not the rule. I can't think of any other scenario where it would be better to check input...

Instead of having the sensor module check for the content of a display block it should check the output. For instance, I want to create an auto pilot that will fly exactly to a specific sector and then fire a huge stop effect on my ship so in one display block I use [sector] and the other I use...

Just matters for mass consideration

Custom pirates or standard isanth pirates? Just need to know for shield testing

It would seem that drawing a red box around the master of a selected block would be the easiest solution since the game already tracks that. It would be a matter of having the game show us the information instead of drawing new pipes that get mixed up and lost so easily

Understood. That's not my actual problem. That was just an example. My actual problem is reverse engineering other people's logic stuff trying to figure out why and/or how it works.

I understand but ok say I want to verify that a section of rail is slaved to a bunch of logic blocks that I have hidden on a different deck to keep them out of sightcurrently my only option is to make multiple troops back and forth which is doable but annoying particularly on large ships. My...

It is currently possible to see what blocks are slaved to a master but not in reverse. This makes back tracing systems rather difficult. My proposal is this: Intership remote connected to salvage computer connected to salvage cannon If I select the salvage computer it should highlight the...

Definitely not home based it is just a random spawn station. With the exception of my phone I have no internet access so it's just a single player game. Will try the right shift thing.

Yes it is on a random station.

I have been working on a faction module for nearly 45 minutes now with my torch. It still has not broken. Although it says it is doing 1 damage per tick. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a known problem with the current way things are being done?
