Message Sensor

Message Sensor

• Receives messages from a Message Actuator
   
• When the Message Sensor receives a message, one positive pulse is sent to the connected controller(s), immediately followed with one negative pulse (next frame)

Subject:

• Only accept messages that have this Subject
   
• Leave blank to accept all messages

Note:

• Use a python script to read the message sent from the message actuator
   
• Message Sensor Python

Message:

• The type of Sensor

Name:

• Sensor name

Pin:

• Enabled: 
  • Always display the Sensor
• Disabled: 
  • Only display when the State Mask group the Sensor is linked to is being displayed

Checkbox:

• Enabled:
  • Sensor is turned on
• Disabled:
  • Sensor is turned off

True Level Trigger:

• Enabled:
  • Receives a message from a Message Actuator:
    • Sends one positive pulse immediately followed with one negative pulse
  • No message received:
    • No pulse sent
• Disabled:
  • Receives a message from a Message Actuator:
    • Sends one positive pulse immediately followed with one negative pulse
  • No message received:
    • No pulse sent
• The default logic tic rate is 60 per second

False Level Trigger:

• Enabled:
  • Receives a message from a Message Actuator:
    • Sends one positive pulse immediately followed with one negative pulse (next frame)
  • No message received:
    • Sends one negative pulse to the connected controller(s) with each logic tic
• Disabled:
  • Receives a message from a Message Actuator:
    • Sends one positive pulse immediately followed with one negative pulse (next frame)
  • No message received:
    • No pulses sent
• The default logic tic rate is 60 per second

Skip:

• Used with True Level Trigger and False Level Trigger
   
• Skips the number of logic tics entered before sending the next pulse.

Level:

• Enabled:
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor belongs to to a State Mask group it doesn't belong to:
    • Sensor is deactivated
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor doesn't belong to to a State Mask group it belongs to:
    • Sensor is activated.  Sends a negative pulse to connected controller(s)
• Disabled:
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor belongs to to a State Mask group it doesn't belong to:
    • Sensor is deactivated
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor doesn't belong to to a State Mask group it belongs to:
    • Sensor is activated

Tap:

• Enabled:
  • When the sensor is activated, a positive pulse is immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame)
• Disabled:
  • When the sensor is activated, a positive pulse is immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame)

Invert:

• Inverts the output of the triggers.
   
• A positive trigger event sends a negative pulse.
   
• A negative trigger event sends a positive pulse.

Note:

• Sensors can be connected to more than one controller
   
• Sensors connected to a controller(s) belong to the same State Mask group(s) as the controller(s)
