[Retired] Nanowalls

Shaostoul & Blue Knight presents: Nanowalls
Expanding your universe since May 2014!

Have you seen the movie DOOM? If so, you know what these are. If not -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18d1FpksLSM

The nanowalls are essentially walls that can be toggled on and off which allows you to either walk or fly through them or not.. These are an upgraded version of this force field mod: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=420351819

While going to place them, you'll see an orientation model, to make sure your nanowalls line up properly for the purpose of textures appearing properly. Once placed they are opaque and impassable, this is their default "off" state. You then go into the terminal and you can set what their on and off states look like.

Them defaulting to off and impassable is to combat the issues of the force field mod where the "fill" sections were incredibly hard to click on due to their lack of physics, which made aiming at them and constructing or deconstructing them very difficult.

They possess a custom component called Nanobots. It's a cube shaped component that has glowing green bits on it. They allow for you have a light weight wall, with a lot of strength. They also are made of only gravel aka process stone. They however do use a lot of stone to create, so hold onto that stone if you plan on making a big wall.

-Pistons interact with nanowalls that are turned off. This causes clang when turning the nanowalls on while the piston has moved blocks in the nanowall.

All blocks are in a "Shaostoul" tab.
Large & small grids

Available blocks:
- 1 - Nanowall Fill (functional)
- 3 - Nanowall Edges (cosmetic)

Text HUD API is not required, but it improves the functionality of the mod. As a result it is highly encouraged for the full experience of the mod.

Each block is added to a field group when placed. if no blocks have been placed since a save has been loaded the block will be added to its own field group.
Blocks start in the off state
Only one block will show up in the terminal with the controls to change field colors and appearance as well as toggle the whole filed on and off
When on you can pass freely though the field and the field is almost untouchable.
When off you collide with fields and they can be touched . To remove or edit blocks in a field they first must be switched off
To edit blocks in a field:
Look at a block while holding any tool and right click on it while pressing one of three keys:
Alt - Removes the block from its current field and puts it in a field of its own. It also selects this field as the "Selected Master" meaning any blocks you place next will be added to this field. If the block is the only block it its field, this will do nothing.
Shift - Select the block as the "Selected Master" Allowing blocks to be added to this field.
Control - Adds the block to the "Selected Master" field. If no master is selected this will not do anything.

In case of bugs, glitches, or other issues
You can post them here, but I am no longer modding or supporting my mods for Space Engineers. If someone would like to keep my mods alive, you're free to do so, just let me know who you are, what you're doing and we'll go from there.

Developing a game, you're invited
I'm no longer supporting SE, as I'm now developing my own video game with the community I've built from years of modding. You're welcome to come hang out and contribute to the project. To learn more about the game go to our website https://shaostoul.com
