Toggle on-off Rotor Safety Lock with Programmable Block

[Vats]

If that is actually doable, how to trigger it?

It's not looking good.

I don't see the Action Id to turn off the safety lock in the list. "Safety lock override On/Off" is in the description list though! Guess scripters aren't deemed responsible enough to disable safety locks...

This is funny... "Force weld" !?!?!?

So, you can do it. Apparently, "Force Weld" is Keenspeak for "Safety lock override On/Off"

IncreaseWeld speed = Increase Safety lock speed
DecreaseWeld speed = Decrease Safety lock speed
Force weld = Safety lock override On/Off

The rest of the names seem reasonable.

public void Main(string argument)
{
    IMyTerminalBlock gtsblock = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName ("Advanced Rotor");

    gtsblock.GetActionWithName("Force weld").Apply(gtsblock);
}

Enjoy!

I've seen Force Weld before but I've tried "ForceWeld" instead of "Force Weld"... Curse you naming conventions!

Thanks a bunch!

[Vats]

Also, where did you find this API documentation? I've seen this Force Weld before, but in pistons, not rotors. :/

I don't use a single source for documentation since there's no one up-to-date source.

This is out dated now... what's the replacement for force weld? How do I use rotor locks?
