Legacy Blocks

Blocks

OSAlarm

Computer or Redstone controlled though right now there is no way to change the alarm sound outside of computer control.

Methods:

alarm = component.os_alarm

alarm.setAlarm("klaxon2") Allows you to change the alarm played, 
the default config is klaxon1 and klaxon2 and the default sound is klaxon1

alarm.setRange(15-150) Sets the range in blocks from the alarm block, allowed range is 15 - 150
alarm.activate() It.. activates the alarm.
alarm.listSounds() returns a table of configured alarms.
alarm.deactivate() It.. deactivates the alarm.

RFID Reader Block

The RFID Reader Block allows you to read RFID Cards in a players inventory

Methods

rfid = component.os_rfidreader
rfid.scan(optional int:1-64)

Scans for all entites for RFIDs within range default is 16 blocks, if you specify an integer it will scan that area, large areas can cause lag. This will queue a signal with the name rfidData 4 parameters will be returned: uuid, playerName, distance, and data. It will also return the data in a table. The max range is configurable in the mod's config file, though the maximum is 64 blocks.

Example Program:

output = component.os_rfidreader.scan(10)
for k, v in pairs(output[1]) do
  print(k, v)
end

It would return: name range data uuid locked

Card Writer

Card Writer, writes RFID, MagCards and EEPROMs.

Methods:

writer = component.os_cardwriter
writer.write(string: Data, string: DisplayName, Optional Boolean:locked)
writer.write("Test Data", "Display", true)

Will write "Test Data" to a card, name it "Display" and lock it from further writing, the same method works on RFID and MagStrip cards, though the limit on string length is different from both, 64 characters for RFID, and 128 for MagStrip. the first call to write will also assign the card a UUID to help identify your cards.

Events:

event, address = event.pull("cardInsert")

The cardInsert event is triggered when a rfid or mag card is inserted.

event, address = event.pull("cardRemove")

The cardRemove event is triggered when you remove the card.

event is the event name, address is the card writer address

Mag Card Reader

Entity Detector

Entity Detector allows you to detect any entities around the block Methods:

entity = component.os_entdetector
entity.scanPlayers(optional int:1-64) Returns a table of detected entities, also queues a signal for each entity found "entityDetect",
with name, range, x, y, z

entity.scanEntities(optional int:1-64) Returns a table of detected entities, also queues a signal for each entity found "entityDetect",
with name, range, x, y, z (This omits players, but can include dropped items)

Door Controller

Door Controller allows you to operate Security Doors. Can only be broken by a person in Creative or the person who placed it.

hub.setSide(sides.left, true)

Will set the left side to allow connections.

KVM Switch

Allows you to switch inputs to a single output, useful for multiple computers connected to the same monitor/keyboard.

customButtons = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "*", "0", "#"} --This is the default order, change any of them to change the button label in that place.
customButtonColor = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} --This works the same as button labels, but it takes a color code to color the button label in that position.
keypad.setKey(customButtons, customButtonColor)

Events:

event, address, button, button_label = event.pull("keypad")

Button is the button id, button_label is the current button label.
