How do I use LCD screen?

[Dionysus 🐭]

I have created an LCD screen and have it displaying the amount of energy I have, but it's saying it's 0. I thought it would display the amount of energy in the batteries right next to it, but it's not. I have already tried grouping them together and that doesn't fix it. What do I need to do?

You will probably need to provide a lot more information.

What code are you using to display the energy you have? Depending on the code, the value might be zero and you are misinterpreting it. Can't tell if the code is using groups or not.....

I'm just using the built in script option for Hydrogen and Energy. I've tried grouping it but it doesn't change anything on the LCD. All I want is to see the current power, power intake, and power out.

What "built in script option" are you referring to? There are no built in scripts for hydrogen and energy that I know of. Plenty of workshop scripts, but that is by-definition not built-in.

I think he is using Keens new LCD scripts that are on control panels etc...

Yes there are.
They were added with the decrotive DLC update.

The integrated LCD script for Energy/Hydrogen is identical to the feature in your HUD. (This is true of most of the scripts.) Hence, it shows energy use as a percentage.

I know and that is what I want it to do, but it isn't doing that. It just says 0, and I want to know how to connect it to a battery so it shows info from a battery.

Is the ownership of ALL blocks set to "Me" ?

I am corrected. Thanks.

Failing that, use Mmasters Auto-LCD 2 script;

I'm pretty sure, i'm using one of the pre-made starts, and they all say they were created by my username.

I don't want to use mods, sense I am still pretty new to the game.

That is not a mod it is a script. You can run it inside a programmable block in a vanilla game. But you must have scripts enabled in the advanced settings.

[Lander1]

Oh wait... do you have scripts enabled in the advanced settings on your save game?

That may be the issue....
