Khodoque's RestWake Script

Are you tired of pressing five buttons every time you dock your ship? Did your ship fell off the docking spire again because you forgot to set batteries to Auto? Do you hate doing complex setup for a script? Do you love doing complex setup for a script? Then this script is for you!

1. Slap a programmable block on your ship
   
2. Load this script
   
3. Put your ship's connector right next to your target's connector
   
4. Run this script with "rest" argument

Voila! Your ship is docked, all of its thrusters and reactors are toggled off, batteries set to Recharge and tanks set to Stockpile! Now if you want to disconnect your ship, simply run the script with "wake" argument, and it is ready to fly again! Now add both arguments to the toolbar.
But wait! You don't want to spare two slots on your toolbar for this script? Then simply run it with "toggle" argument, and you save another slot.

Worry not, because it comes equipped with lots of options for you to play with!
First of all, the list of all commands (no hyphens):
You can change some variables in the code itself.

• RestWakeConnectGroup - if you want to connect your ship not just with connectors, but also with landing gears and merge blocks, add them in this group. If you have set use_any_connectors to "false", also add connectors that you want to use to this group.
  
• RestWakeToggleGroup - all blocks in this group will be toggled off during "rest" and toggled on during "wake" routine
  
• AuxThrustGroup - any thrusters that you don't need during normal use. They will be disabled during "wake" routine. Chances are, if you have such thrusters, they are already in the group, so change the variable instead of making a new group for them.

• IgnoreTag - all blocks from any group with this tag in the name will be ignored by this script.
  
• RestoredName - if it's not null, the grid will be renamed to this during "wake" routine. Useful to restore the ship name if you connect it with merge blocks.

Set any of this to "false" if you don't want this script to affect any of these components.
If Safety is enabled, script will make sure that ship is able to connect to something before running the "rest" routine.
If true, the ship will be able to use any of its connectors to connect. Otherwise, it will only use connectors from RestWakeConnectGroup.
Unfortunately, so far the script is unable to automatically connect with merge blocks. You need to manually merge with the target before running the "rest" routine. Disconnect works fine. Make sure that you used "update" argument while your ship was not merged, otherwise the script will affect the entire grid that it merged with. If your ship is not connected with merge blocks, it is safe to use "update" argument anytime.

This one combines greatly with my script, but so far you need a timer block to run my script from Spug's script. Use a "die" argument in the timer block instead of "rest", since the Spug's script will ensure that the ship is docked safely.
