Button Pad - Touch App

This mod adds an App to LCD screens that works like regular button pads but on LCDs, you can assign some terminal actions to buttons.
The amount of available button depends on the screen size but can be configured using "Ctrl + Shift + Mouse Scroll Wheel".

1. Open any LCD Block Control Panel;
   
2. Change Content property to Script;
   
3. Select "Button Pad" from the list;

• Click an empty button to add an action;
  
• Select the block and the action or click outside to cancel;
  
• If the action is a PB Run, add the argument on the text field;
  
• Last step is to choose what text will show, this can be changed later with SHIFT;
  
• To clear a button hold Ctrl to see the option, then click the button;
  
• To change the text, hold SHIFT and click the button to cycle the text options.
  
• It works with BLUEPRINTS now!

It works and adapts to pretty much any LCD in the vanilla game and DLCs including cockpits. Use Screen Calibration app to make it work on any modded LCD.
Touch screen feature is provided by TouchScreenAPI mod.
Which makes both cursor and UI elements available for any modder.

It works in singleplayer, multiplayer and also servers. Since it is a TSS (LCD script) it runs almost entirely at client side.
The clients are responsible for drawing and checking available actions on the grids, and also sends to the server only for persisting data across sessions.
I made it only visible to players that have access to the block, so share with faction will allow other player to interact with it.

Use "Ctrl + Plus" or "Ctrl + Minus" to change the scale of the app. "Ctrl + 0" to reset.
This can be very useful for small screens.

This is a limitation on the game side for LCD screens texture frames update.
There is a possible workaround to make it run at 30fps, but for performance reasons I decided to keep this first version without it.
It is possible that I change it on upcoming versions.

I created an open Discussion on TouchScreenAPI for people to share and discuss ideas.
