Examples: MTC Status Transmitter
ComputerCraft. You can get the latest 1.7.10 version here.
Not required for this setup, but for this example, the computer is located right next to the transmitter:
The MTC Status is what mode MTC is active in. A 1 means it's on, a 2 means it's going to end soon on the line, and a 3 is inactive. However for that a 0 is usually used. In this example, the MTC Status will be set to Active once a train passes over it. However, please note, speed transmitters do this automatically, but this is for manual control.
local mtcTransmitter = peripheral.find("info_transmitter_mtc") -- Finds a status transmitter attached to the computer
local mtcStatus = 1 -- The status we want to transmit to the train
mtcTransmitter.setMTCStatus(1) -- Sets the MTC Status
mtcTransmitter.activate() -- Actives the status transmitterThere are two kinds of MTC, standard MTC and Wireless Minecraft Train Control, which allows you remotely send data to trains. MTC has a type number of 1, while W-MTC is 2. This is normally set to 1 though.
local mtcTransmitter = peripheral.find("info_transmitter_mtc") -- Finds a status transmitter attached to the computer
local mtcStatus = 1 -- The status we want to transmit to the train
local mtcType = 2 -- The MTC type we want to send to the train
mtcTransmitter.setMTCStatus(1) -- Sets the MTC Status
mtcTransmitter.setMTCType(1) -- Sets the MTC Type
mtcTransmitter.activate() -- Actives the status transmitterThis isn't really necessary unless you use W-MTC, where you need to set the ID you need to send instructions to. Make sure the MTC Type is set to 2 for W-MTC.
local mtcTransmitter = peripheral.find("info_transmitter_mtc") -- Finds a status transmitter attached to the computer
local mtcStatus = 1 -- The status we want to transmit to the train
local mtcType = 2 -- The MTC type we want to send to the train
local uuid = "171f1884-35df-409a-bf7f-9cfea308b586"
mtcTransmitter.setMTCType(1) -- Sets the MTC Status
mtcTransmitter.setMTCType(2) -- Sets the MTC Type
mtcTransmitter.setServerUUID(uuid) -- Sets the UUID for the train when it passes over
mtcTransmitter.activate() -- Actives the status transmitterThis isn't necessary unless you use W-MTC, where you need to set the signal block the train is in for identification purposes.
local mtcTransmitter = peripheral.find("info_transmitter_mtc") -- Finds a status transmitter attached to the computer
local mtcStatus = 1 -- The status we want to transmit to the train
local mtcType = 2 -- The MTC type we want to send to the train
mtcTransmitter.setMTCType(2) -- Sets the MTC Type
mtcTransmitter.setServerUUID(uuid) -- Sets the UUID for the train when it passes over
mtcTransmitter.setSignalBlock("TF-2")
mtcTransmitter.activate() -- Actives the status transmitterBy these examples, (and the comments), you have learned how to set the MTC type, serverUUID, and signal block for the MTC Status Transmitter.
