Add MyShipWelderStatus and/or IsWelding to IMyShipWelder
I have not found a good way to figure out, if a welder is currently working or not. I would therefore like to see some additions to the ingame API in line with IMyShipConnector.
Either addition would be fine for my purposes but a proper status would be preferred for flexibility.
My proposal:
IsWelding: Returns true if the welder is currently welding (has power, block in range, has required building components, is enabled) and false otherwise.
Enum for status:
Welding: Like IsWelding.
MissingComponents: Like Welding but building components are missing.
ConstructableInRange: The welder is not enabled and a block that needs construction/repair is in range.
NoTask: No block that needs construction/repair is in range of the welder. (probably needs a better name)
