Inception

OpenComputers is a mod about computers(duh). It adds fancy-style, modular screens, PCs, servers and much more.

AUNIS is compatible with these computers(as of version 1.5) and provides SGC-style dialing by them.

Check out this gist.

List of methods some TileEntites support

• getGateType()
  Returns:
  gateType Can be one of: [MILKYWAY, PEGASUSNot yet..., UNIVERSE]

• getGateStatus()
  Returns:
  gateStatus Can be one of: [not_merged, open, idle, dialing, dialing_computer, unstable, failing]
  openState When gateStatus is open this parameter is true for the initiating gate and false on the receiving one.
  dialing is when therebis a delay after pressing the Glyph on the DHD and the actual chevron locking.
  dialing_computer is when you spin the gate/ring with a computer, and it returns to idle after the spin finishes.

• getEnergyRequiredToDial(symbols... or symbols:array) Gets the energy required to dial specified gate. From Aunis 1.9.6.
  Parameters:
  symbols... Symbols as subsequent parameters,
  symbols:array Symbols as an array.
  Point of Origin is added automatically if not present
  Returns:
  not_merged Gate's not merged (duh), or
  address_malformed (No such gate, address contains less than 7 symbols), or
  energyMap Map (aka array in Lua) with 3 indexes: [open(open cost, in RF), keepAlive(sustain cost, in RF/t), canOpen(if the stored power is enough to open the wormhole, boolean)]

• engageSymbol(symbolName:string or symbolIndex:number): table Spins the ring to the given symbol and engages/locks it.
  Parameters:
  symbolName is the name of the symbol to be engaged.
  symbolIndex is the index of the symbol to be engaged. See: Mliky Way Symbols , Pegasus Symbols, Universe Symbols.
  Returns:
  status If null, command failed, otherwise "stargate_spin".
  stargate_failure_* Name of the failure (busy, full, contains, not_merged).

  Returns:
  status If null, command failed, otherwise "stargate_engage".
  stargate_failure_* Name of the failure (busy, opening, not_merged).
  description description of the failure.
  gateState State after the engageGate command. (BUSY [Source gate], NOT_ENOUGH_POWER, ADDRESS_MALFORMED [could mean that the target gate is busy]).

• disengageGate() Tries to close the gate.
  Returns:
  status If null, command failed, otherwise "stargate_disengage".

Some of AUNIS blocks generate signals. Most of methods are aimed to be non-blocking, so you'll need callbacks to be able to properly drive a Stargate for example. Here is the list of blocks and signals they emit.

All signals received by your computer will have at least 2 parameters:
address is the OpenComputers network address of the Stargate component.
caller true if the event was triggered by the action originated from this computer. If action don't originate from the user, caller is always false.

• stargate_spin_start(address: string, caller: boolean, symbolCount: number, lock: boolean, symbolName: string) Emmited when Stargate started to spin after succesful engageSymbol call.
  Parameters:
  symbolCount is the index of chevron to be locked/engaged.
  lock true if the 7th/8th chevron is locking.
  symbolName name of the symbol to lock.
  

• stargate_spin_chevron_engaged(address: string, caller: boolean, symbolCount: number, lock: boolean, symbolName: string) Emmited when Stargate finished engaging/locking the symbol after succesful engageSymbol call.
  Parameters:
  symbolCount is the index of chevron to be locked/engaged.
  lock true if the 7th/8th chevron is locking.
  symbolName name of the symbol to lock.
  

• stargate_dhd_chevron_engaged(address: string, caller: boolean, symbolCount: number, lock: boolean, symbolName: string) Emmited when a glyph is pressed on a DHD while the computer is attached to the Gate.
  Parameters:
  symbolCount is the index of chevron to be locked/engaged.
  lock true if the 7th/8th chevron is locking.
  symbolName name of the symbol to lock.

• stargate_incoming_wormhole(address: string, caller: boolean, dialedAddressSize: number) Emmited when Stargate was dialed from another Gate but hasn't been engaged yet(i.e. BRB not pressed).
  Parameters:
  dialedAddressSize how many symbols dialing site pressed on the DHD (or computer).

• stargate_open(address: string, caller: boolean, isInitiating: boolean) Emmited when Stargate starts to open, but isn't stable yet (see stargate_wormhole_stabilized).
  Parameters:
  isInitiating if the gate is being opened from this end.

• stargate_close(address: string, caller: boolean, reason: string) Emmited when Stargate starts to close, but isn't fully closed yet (see stargate_wormhole_closed_fully).
  Parameters:
  reason the reason why the gate closed. Can be one of [requested, connection_lost, out_of_power, command].

• stargate_wormhole_stabilized(address: string, caller: boolean, isInitiating: boolean) Emmited when Stargate wormhole is stable and can transport players/entities/OC messages.
  Parameters:
  isInitiating if the gate is being opened from this end.

• stargate_wormhole_closed_fully(address: string, caller: boolean, isInitiating: boolean) Emmited when Stargate wormhole disappears completely.
  Parameters:
  isInitiating if the gate is being opened from this end.

• stargate_failed(address: string, caller: boolean, reason: string)
  Emmited when Stargate fails to open, either on engageGate or BRB press.
  Parameters:
  reason the reason why the gate failed. Can be one of [not_enough_power, address_malformed, aborted(Universe Dialer)].

• stargate_traveler(address: string, caller: boolean, inbound: boolean, isPlayer: boolean, entityClass: string)
  Emmited when Stargate receives on transmits matter.
  Parameters:
  inbound the Entity is travelling from the other end.
  isPlayer the Entity is a EntityPlayerMP rather than: item, animal, minecart, arrow...
  entityClass the Entity's class name. For ex. EntityPlayerMP, EntityItem, EntityTippedArrow.

• transportrings_teleport_start(address: string, caller: boolean, initiating: boolean)
  Emmited when Rings start the teleport animation.
  Parameters:
  initiating true if attached platform initiated the connection.

• transportrings_teleport_finished(address: string, caller: boolean, initiating: boolean)
  Emmited when Rings finish the teleport animation.
  Parameters:
  initiating true if attached platform initiated the connection.

• beamer_started
  Emmited when the Beamer starts being active.

• beamer_stopped
  Emmited when the Beamer stops being active.

• beamer_transfers (since 1.9.12)
  Emmited every second (configurable) when the Beamer transfers something. It returns an associative array of key(power or fluid/item display name) and value(number of things transferred). See this gist for a simple program counting all transfers.
