The Build and Repair System exposes a set of terminal properties that can be read and written from a Programmable Block script. These properties use the standard Space Engineers GetValue / SetValue terminal property interface.
All property names are prefixed with BuildAndRepair..
To check whether a block is a Build and Repair System, try reading a known property. If the property exists, the block is a BaR system:
bool IsBuildAndRepairBlock ( IMyTerminalBlock block )
{
try
{
block . GetValueBool ( "BuildAndRepair.ScriptControlled" );
return true ;
}
catch
{
return false ;
}
}
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.AllowBuildboolEnable or disable welding of projected blocks. BuildAndRepair.ScriptControlledboolWhen true, the system does not automatically pick targets. Each weld/grind action must be chosen via script. BuildAndRepair.CollectIfIdleboolWhen true, floating objects are collected even when there is nothing to weld or grind.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.ModelongThe active search mode. Cast to/from the SearchModes enum (Grids, BoundingBox). BuildAndRepair.WorkModelongThe active work mode. Cast to/from the WorkModes enum (WeldBeforeGrind, GrindBeforeWeld, GrindIfWeldGetStuck, WeldOnly, GrindOnly). BuildAndRepair.WeldModelongThe active weld mode. Cast to/from the AutoWeldOptions enum (WeldFull, WeldFunctional, WeldSkeleton).
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.UseIgnoreColorboolWhether the ignore-color filter is active. BuildAndRepair.IgnoreColorVector3The ignore color as an HSV vector. BuildAndRepair.UseGrindColorboolWhether the grind-color filter is active. BuildAndRepair.GrindColorVector3The grind color as an HSV vector.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.GrindJanitorEnemiesboolGrind enemy-owned blocks. BuildAndRepair.GrindJanitorNotOwnedboolGrind blocks with no ownership. BuildAndRepair.GrindJanitorNeutralsboolGrind neutral-owned blocks. BuildAndRepair.GrindJanitorOptionDisableOnlyboolOnly grind functional blocks until they stop working. BuildAndRepair.GrindJanitorOptionHackOnlyboolOnly grind functional blocks until they can be hacked.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.AreaWidthfloatWork area width in metres. BuildAndRepair.AreaHeightfloatWork area height in metres. BuildAndRepair.AreaDepthfloatWork area depth in metres. BuildAndRepair.AreaOffsetLeftRightfloatWork area left/right offset in metres. BuildAndRepair.AreaOffsetUpDownfloatWork area up/down offset in metres. BuildAndRepair.AreaOffsetFrontBackfloatWork area front/back offset in metres.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.PushIngotOreImmediatelyboolImmediately push ingots and ore to connected inventories.
Priority lists are accessed through delegate-style properties. The index corresponds to the position in the priority list.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.WeldPriorityListMemorySafeList<string>Read-only list of weld priority class names. BuildAndRepair.GetWeldPriorityFunc<int, int>Get the priority value for a weld class by index. BuildAndRepair.SetWeldPriorityAction<int, int>Set the priority value for a weld class by index. BuildAndRepair.GetWeldEnabledFunc<int, bool>Check whether a weld class is enabled by index. BuildAndRepair.SetWeldEnabledAction<int, bool>Enable or disable a weld class by index. BuildAndRepair.GrindPriorityListMemorySafeList<string>Read-only list of grind priority class names. BuildAndRepair.GetGrindPriorityFunc<int, int>Get the priority value for a grind class by index. BuildAndRepair.SetGrindPriorityAction<int, int>Set the priority value for a grind class by index. BuildAndRepair.GetGrindEnabledFunc<int, bool>Check whether a grind class is enabled by index. BuildAndRepair.SetGrindEnabledAction<int, bool>Enable or disable a grind class by index. BuildAndRepair.ComponentClassListMemorySafeList<string>Read-only list of collect priority class names. BuildAndRepair.GetCollectPriorityFunc<int, int>Get the priority value for a collect class by index. BuildAndRepair.SetCollectPriorityAction<int, int>Set the priority value for a collect class by index. BuildAndRepair.GetCollectEnabledFunc<int, bool>Check whether a collect class is enabled by index. BuildAndRepair.SetCollectEnabledAction<int, bool>Enable or disable a collect class by index.
When BuildAndRepair.ScriptControlled is true, the script chooses which block the system welds or grinds.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.CurrentPickedTargetIMySlimBlockGet or set the block the system should weld. BuildAndRepair.CurrentPickedGrindTargetIMySlimBlockGet or set the block the system should grind.
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.MissingComponentsMemorySafeDictionary<MyDefinitionId, int>Components required to complete all current weld targets. BuildAndRepair.PossibleTargetsMemorySafeList<IMySlimBlock>Blocks currently queued for welding. BuildAndRepair.PossibleGrindTargetsMemorySafeList<IMySlimBlock>Blocks currently queued for grinding. BuildAndRepair.PossibleCollectTargetsMemorySafeList<IMyEntity>Floating objects currently queued for collection. BuildAndRepair.CurrentTargetIMySlimBlockThe block currently being welded (read-only). BuildAndRepair.CurrentGrindTargetIMySlimBlockThe block currently being ground (read-only).
Property Type Description BuildAndRepair.ProductionBlock.EnsureQueuedFunc<IEnumerable<long>, MyDefinitionId, int, int>Ensures a component is queued in one of the specified assemblers. Returns the amount still needed after queuing. BuildAndRepair.Inventory.NeededComponents4BlueprintFunc<IMyProjector, Dictionary<MyDefinitionId, MyFixedPoint>, int>Calculates the components needed to complete a projector’s blueprint. Returns the number of component types.
A maintained companion script is available that handles automatic assembler queuing and multi-display status output. It only works with SKO’s maintained versions of the mod — not the original mod by Dummy08.
