My first script

Something which just turns off / on all the lights on your ship.
Has some other useful sub-methods which can be used for other purposes.

Code:

void Main()
{
    List<IMyTerminalBlock> blocks;

    blocks = new List<IMyTerminalBlock>();
    GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyRadioAntenna>(blocks);
    if (blocks.Count == 0) return;
    IMyRadioAntenna antenna = blocks[0] as IMyRadioAntenna;

    //All this works
    blocks.Clear();
    GridTerminalSystem.GetBlocksOfType<IMyLightingBlock>(blocks);
    for (int i = 0; i < blocks.Count; i++)
    {
        BlockToggle((IMyFunctionalBlock)blocks[i]);
    }

    antenna.SetCustomName("Hello Galaxy!");

    Beep();
}


void BlockToggle(IMyFunctionalBlock block)
{
    BlockAction(block, "OnOff");
}
void BlockEnable(IMyFunctionalBlock block)
{
    BlockAction(block, "OnOff_On");
}
void BlockDisable(IMyFunctionalBlock block)
{
    BlockAction(block, "OnOff_Off");
}
void Beep()
{
    IMySoundBlock speaker = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName("Test Speaker") as IMySoundBlock;
    if (speaker == null) return;
    BlockAction(speaker, "PlaySound");
}
void BlockAction(IMyFunctionalBlock block, string action)
{
    var foundAction = block.GetActionWithName(action);
    if (foundAction != null)
    {
        foundAction.Apply(block);
    }
}

 

I'd love to understand this, I might be learning this in the future.
