Explore feasibility of performing Rig detection using subgrids

[mkazin]

At the moment the script must be changed by hand before being copy/pasted into the Programmable Block. I'd like to eliminate this aspect, as well as the manual work done in preparation: identifying/naming blocks and configuring velocities. Both of these should be very simple to accomplish if we can use the rotor (or rotor/piston combination) as a starting point.

• Try this on a new grid with a single rig (multi-rig grids may require using an argument, or a selection screen as done in PAM)

Found this method which indicates if two grids are connected:

Still need an block iteration or search by type operation.

[mkazin]

See this comment by BurninSun1 which shows this GridTerminalSystem function providing a search by block type operation. It takes an output list and a predicate function. The predicate appears to be optional (pass null).

GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyProgrammableBlock>(programmables, FilterProgrammablesRunning);
...
bool FilterProgrammablesRunning(IMyTerminalBlock block)
{
    return (block as IMyProgrammableBlock).IsRunning;
}

To check if the block tested by the predicate is on the same grid as the Programmable Block running the script, use the Me global of type IMyProgrammableBlock which has a Property called CubeGrid as explained by plaYer2k here.
