ocsensors

Sensor Addon for OpenComputers

Similiar to the old OpenCCSensors mod this mod adds a sensor block that allows
computers to scan surrounding blocks.

Available Methods

Method Description scan(x:number, y:number, z:number, [side:number]) Scans a block relative to the sensor search([name:string=”“], [meta:number=-1], [section:string=”“], [range:number=]) Search for blocks matching the given criteria in the given range searchEntities(x1:number, y1:number, z1:number, x2:number, y2:number, z3:number) Scans a region relative to the sensor for entities

Examples

Get stored energy of all energy-capable nearby blocks

local component = require('component') local sensor = component.sensor local totalCapacity = 0 local totalStored = 0 print("Searching for blocks handling energy") local positions = sensor.search("", -1, "energy") print("Scanning " .. #positions .. " blocks") for _,pos in ipairs(positions) do local info = sensor.scan(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z) print(" " .. info.block.label .. " @ " .. pos.x .. "," .. pos.y .. "," .. pos.z) totalStored = totalStored + info.data.energy.energyStored totalCapacity = totalCapacity + info.data.energy.maxEnergyStored end print("") print("Energy summary:") print(" Total capacity: " .. totalCapacity); print(" Total stored: " .. totalStored);

Output a redstone signal when all nearby extra utilities 2 generators are ready to run

local component = require("component") local sides = require("sides") local sensor = component.sensor local redstone = component.redstone local redstoneSide = sides.back -- Search for generators once local generators = sensor.search("", -1, "extrautils2") while(true) do -- Loop over nearby machines and see if they are all satisfied local missing = 0 for _,pos in ipairs(generators) do local info = sensor.scan(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z) local xu = info.data.extrautils2 -- Is the generator already running? local alreadyRunning = info.data.extrautils2.processTime > 0 -- Is the Generator satisfied with items? local enoughItems = info.data.items.n == 0 or info.data.items.n == #info.data.items -- Is it satisfied with fluid? local enoughFluid = true if(info.data.fluid.n > 0) then for _,tank in ipairs(info.data.fluid) do if(tank.contents == nil or tank.contents.amount == 0) then enoughFluid = false end end end if(alreadyRunning or (enoughItems and enoughFluid)) then --print(info.block.label .. ": " .. serialization.serialize(info.data)) print("Ready: " .. info.block.label) else print("Missing: " .. info.block.label) -- Immediately turn off all other generators redstone.setOutput(redstoneSide, 0) missing = missing + 1 end end -- React accordingly if(missing == 0) then print("--> All generators good to go") redstone.setOutput(redstoneSide, 15) else print("--> Missing " .. missing .. " generators") end os.sleep(1) end

Dump the fluid of all nearby MooFluid cows

local component = require('component') local serialization = require('serialization') local sensor = component.sensor local range = 5 local foundFluids = {} for _, entity in ipairs(sensor.searchEntities(-range, -range, -range, range, range, range)) do if(entity.type == "neutral" and entity.moofluids ~= nil) then foundFluids[#foundFluids+1] = entity.moofluids.fluid.name end end print(serialization.serialize(foundFluids)) -- {"lava", "lava", "lava", "water", "water", "lava"}
