This Block Handler governs all thruster types (Atmospheric, Ion, Hydrogen).
- Block Type Keywords:
thruster - Block Type Group Keywords:
thrusters
Default Primitive Properties:
- Bool - Enabled
- Numeric - Level
Default Directional Properties
- Up - Limit
“Enabled” Property
- Primitive Type: Bool
- Keywords:
enable, enabled - Inverse Keywords:
disable, disabled
Enables or Disables the given block
#Enable Block
enable "My Thruster"
set "My Thruster" to enabled
turn on "My Thruster"
#Disable Block
disable "My Thruster"
set "My Thruster" to disabled
turn off "My Thruster"
“Power” Property
- Primitive Type: Bool
- Keywords:
power, powered
Turns on or off power to the block. Effectively the same as the Enabled property.
#Turn on
turn on power to "My Thruster"
power on "My Thruster"
#Turn off
turn off "My Thruster"
power off "My Thruster"
“Limit” Property
- Primitive Type: Numeric
- Keywords:
limit, limits, range, ranges
Gets/Sets the Maximum Thrust Limit for the thruster, in Newtons. When retrieving, returns the maximum possible thrust.
When setting, this sets a thrust override to the supplied value.
Print "Max Thrust: " + "My Thruster" limit
#10000 Newtons
set "My Thruster" limit to 10000
“Level” Property
- Primitive Type: Numeric
- Keywords:
level, levels
Gets/Sets the current thrust from the thruster, in Newtons.
When setting, if the value is set to 0 then thrust overrides are turned off.
Print "Current Thrust: " + "My Thruster" level
#Override thrust to 10000 Newtons
set "My Thruster" level to 10000
“Output” Property
- Primitive Type: Numeric
- Keywords:
output, outputs
Same as Level property. Gets/Sets the current thrust from the thruster, in Newtons.
When setting, if the value is set to 0 then thrust overrides are turned off.
Print "Current Output: " + "My Thruster" output
#Override thrust to 10000 Newtons
set "My Thruster" output to 10000
“Override” Property
- Primitive Type: Numeric
- Keywords:
override, overrides
Gets/Sets the ThrustOverride for the thruster, in Newtons. Returns 0 if no thrust override is set. If set to 0, turns off Thrust Overrides.
Print "Thrust Override: " + "My Thruster" override
#Override thrust to 10000 Newtons
set "My Thruster" override to 10000
“Ratio” Property
- Primitive Type: Numeric
- Keywords:
ratio, ratios, percentage, percentages, percent, percents
Gets/Sets the current thrust override, as a percentage. Values are expected to be between 0 - 1, with 1 = 100% Thrust Override.
Setting to 0 turns off thrust overrides.
Print "Thrust Percentage: " + "My Thrust" percentage
#50% power
set "My Thruster" percent to 0.5
