MGSS Airlock Script 2.0

You can finally connect grids to your airlock conveyors and not overfill your tanks! Just name the tank you want to connect to your main system as [AIRLOCK] (not [AIRLOCK A] for example) for it to be treated as a main tank. It will then turn off the generators and farms (even those on connected grids) temporarily while the airlock cycles. No longer need to worry about naming the generators.

LCD panels are also updated to a sprite based design rather than text based. The customization section has been updated so you can make the light and LCD colors your own. Rotating lights have also been added to show when the airlock is cycling. Lastly, the inner doors will auto-close (this addresses a Keen bug with airtightness); the outer doors will remain open when depressurized, so no risk of cutting your ship in half leaving the hangar.

MGSS Airlock Script is a zero air loss control system for multiple airlocks with some extra bonuses like being able to hook up tanks to the main system with generators and farms, LCD panels and lights for airlock status, and the ability to use in partial and full atmosphere conditions (perfect for taking off from and landing on planets) .

Script uses logic, not timers, to ensure no air is lost. Example: doors must be closed before turning the air vent on. This means it works with all door types including slow hangar doors and mods. It also means the airlock space can be as large as you want with multiple vents and doors.

See YouTube video for setup of the airlock with naming
1. Each component needs to know what airlock it belongs to. This is done through the naming. Add [AIRLOCK xx] to each components name, with 'xx' being the unique name for the airlock.
Example: [AIRLOCK A]
2. Each airlock needs 1 (and only 1) control light. Add the word Control to a light along with the airlock tag [AIRLOCK xx].
Example: Control Light [AIRLOCK A]
3. Name Inner door(s), Outer door(s), and Airlock vent(s)
Example: Inner Door [AIRLOCK A], Outer Gate [AIRLOCK A], Airlock Vent [AIRLOCK A]

That's all you need for basic operation.*If using in atmosphere, you will need an Outer air vent on the exterior of the ship/base. Otherwise the airlock will try to depressurize to 0 and may glitch out.

Turn on/off the Control Light; on the airlock pressurizes, off it depressurizes. Easy to setup on button panels or sensors.

Inner Vent [AIRLOCK XX] or Inner Vent [AIRLOCK]: Airlock specific or main interior vent. Can detect if there is a leak and unlock the airlock doors to allow repair. Main means it can be used by all airlocks.
Outer Vent [AIRLOCK XX] or Outer Vent [AIRLOCK]: Airlock specific or main exterior vent to detect outside air pressure. Critical for atmospheric ships/stations.
Light [AIRLOCK XX]: Status lights that change based on the state of the airlock. White = pressurized, blinking orange = cycling, blue = depressurized, red = error or lockdown. Can be changed in the START OF CUSTOMIZATION inside the script.
Rotating Light [AIRLOCK XX]: Turns on orange light when cycling; off when depressurized or pressurized.
Sound Block [AIRLOCK XX]: Turns on sound block to Alert 2 (default) while airlock is cycling.
LCD [AIRLOCK XX]: If corner style LCD, it will show a colored status of the airlock, see GIF. If a larger panel, it will display a more detailed breakdown of the airlock status along with warnings.
LCD [AIRLOCK]: Note no 'XX' airlock name. Acts as a main screen showing details for every airlock, auto scrolls for large systems with more than 6 airlocks.
O2 Tank [AIRLOCK XX]: Tank separate from main system, auto fills using vents if empty.
O2 Tank [AIRLOCK]: Main tank tied to the system, auto fills from generator or O2 farm if empty
Lockdown Light [AIRLOCK]: When on airlock doors lock and depressurize. Note this is not airlock specific, only has [AIRLOCK] without a 'xx'. Only need 1 for all airlocks.
O2/H2 Generator and O2 Farm:No naming required. If there is a main tank, the generators and farms will temporarily shut off during airlock cycle to not overfill tank. Option in script to turn this feature off.

Naming a group with the airlock tag will rename all parts in the group. Lights [AIRLOCK A] will rename the parts to Light 01 [AIRLOCK A], Light 02 [AIRLOCK A],... Since the blocks are renamed you can delete the group after if you want. Helps keep the terminal list clean as you can hide blocks but not groups.

Look for START OF CUSTOMIZATION inside the script.

1. Door close delay
   
2. Minimum tank fill
   
3. Screen cycle delay for main screen (if more than 6 airlocks)
   
4. LCD text/forground and background colors
   
5. Fill bars (red, orange, green) colors
   
6. Status light color schemes for pressurized, depressurized, cycling, error, and lockdown
   
7. Naming tags and keywords
   
8. Automatic control of generators and farms
