How do I use this in game? am I supposed to copy paste this script? I am an idiot when it comes to computer code lol

been around since 2016, updated 4 Feb 2024... handles this function and isn't limited. Set up is as easy as loading it into a Programmable Block and putting the tag [LCD] into the name of the screen you want set up to display data, then going into the Custom Data of said screen or block and set the commands. I mean, it even has a fully detailed guide for every command you can use for whatever you want displayed...

In that screenshot, you only need to input 3 commands to get the same result that you can also tailor to your preferences, even works for modded blocks, (drills, cargo, reactors, you name it). I just don't understand why we keep reinventing the wheel here unless this was a script you wrote while learning how to set up code. If that is the case then good work and I look forward to your future scripts.

Thanks for the script! As a new player I was too confused by many things to make it work (especially I didn't know that setting screens into "Text and Images" mode is required, and properly configuring screen index was confusing), but I used your code to develop my own version that was more tailored to my needs :) You were great help!

Thank you for this script. Schönes Profilbild von GATE.

Could you add an Hydrogen Bar in a possible future update?

Misspelling can be both right and wrong, depends entirely on how you see it.

For example, as a Swede, I can tell you that this German builder has spelled reaktor exactly right both in German and in my native language, Swedish while in English you prefer C instead of K in the word, which is so strange to us.

you misspelled "reactor"

Using this on a named control seat. I've set the seat name in the script, and it appears to be monitoring my ship (debug display gives data about current cargo), but I can't get it to display on the control seat main display - it is completely blank. I've added the display name to the script, but still blank.
Same deal on another ship with an industrial cockpit.
What am I doing wrong?

//Name of your LCD Pannel -> Can be Changed
readonly string LcdName = "LCD";

if I'm reading right this should be changed to the specific lcds name?
or altered to a cockpit number with this string pointing to the cockpit?

//Name of your Cockpit Block -> Can be Changed
readonly string CockpitName = "Industrial Cockpit";

//Lcd Panel Number on your Cockpit Block -> Changed to desired Value

I suggest adding a 'partially-full Progressbar' character for double the precision without using more characters. For example, someone could use '▌' (<ALT-221>) for the 'partially-full' character and '█' (<ALT-219>) for the 'full' character. Others might use 'o' & 'O'/'-' & '=', etc.)

Script was changing every LCD on my base. Settings was default, except LCD number which was equals 3.

Subscribed, cause it is what I was looking for 2 years now

Subscribed, now to see how to set it up.
