Summary
Modular displays are most commonly used in spaceship cockpits as information screens and they are considered vital for easy ship management.
Progress bars are generally configured to show progress from 0 to 100, whereas text panels are generally used to show text.
They can however be used to display whatever information needed.
Basic information
All modular displays need to be connected to a data network and a power source in order for them to work.
- Modular displays are designed for displaying information.
- The displayable content is set to the PanelValue field.
- They can be connected to the panel base directly or via another modular display by snapping them together.
- YOLOL can be used to display information, but it is not necessary.
Device fields
To learn more about how to use fields, consult these wiki pages:
Progress bars
| YOLOL field | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| PanelValue | The value to display on the progress bar | |
| PanelMinValue | The value at or below which the progress bar will appear empty | 0 |
| PaneMaxValue | The value at or over which the progress bar will appear full | 100 |
| PanelVariableResolution | The smallest increment the number and progress bar will reflect, written out as a power of 10 (i.e. 0.01 will display two decimal places) | 1 |
Text Panel
| YOLOL field | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| PanelValue | The value to display on the text panel | |
| PanelVariableResolution | The smallest increment the number and text panel will reflect, written out as a power of 10 (i.e. 0.01 will display two decimal places) | 1 |
