SignalProcessor

I have an idea for a block. I play SE for a long long time, have every DLC and also SE2.

So many hours game time including working with programmable blocks also with own scripts.

Since a while I also play on the official servers and I kind of miss my programmable blocks.

Many things can be done with event controlers timers etc. but some not.

I am not looking for complete functions of programmable block with alternatives.

But one thing would be nice and I think people would like it. Description below:

The Idea:

Name: SignalProcessor

Blocksize: 1x1

PCU: what ever you see as needed to be server worthy

working principle:

You have a max of 10 not more text fields that are numbered (like from the broadcast controler).

maybe a slider for fontsize and selector for single LCDs (not blocks with multiple display surfaces)

Once block is triggered[maybe with parameters] (via hotbar or event controller timer etc),

the block chances the text of a LCD tor a combined text of the SignalProcessors Text fields.

Two Examples (one if parameters can used and one where no parameters can be used),

for keeping the examples short I work just with 4 Text Fields:

Example 1:

SignalProcessor1:

Text1: Hello

Text2: World

Text3:

Text4:

LCD: selected

SignalProcessor2:

Text1: Hello

Text2: Space Engineers

Text3: World

Text4:

LCD: selected

Trigger1(event,timer or whatever) -> SignalProcessor1 -> Text of LCD changes to 1 and 2 from SignalProcessor1

Trigger2(event,timer or whatever) -> SignalProcessor2 -> Text of LCD changes to 1, 2 and 3 from SignalProcessor2

Example 2:

SignalProcessor1:

Text1: Hello

Text2: Space Engineers

Text3: World

Text4: !

LCD: selected

Trigger1(event,timer or whatever) -> SignalProcessor1 (parameter "1 3" -> Text of LCD changes to 1 and 3 from SignalProcessor1

LCD: Hello World

Trigger2(event,timer or whatever) -> SignalProcessor1 (parameter "1 2 3 4" -> Text of LCD changes to 1 to 4 from SignalProcessor1

LCD: Hello Space Engineers World!

I hope I could tell what I mean. Everything thats needed for this, is as far as I know already in the game(code).

It would for sure for people like me create a whole new possibilities by just adding one block.
