OpenSecurity Mod — Reference
Blocks
The blocks in OpenSecurity serve as the primary interface between the physical world and the computer system. Most blocks function as OpenComputers components.
Alarm
The Alarm block is used to provide audible alerts. It can play a variety of pre-defined sounds or custom sounds defined in the configuration.
* API Methods:
* alarm.setAlarm(string:name): Sets the sound to be played.
* alarm.listAlarms: Returns a list of available sounds.
* alarm.activate: Starts the alarm.
* alarm.deactivate: Stops the alarm.
Biometric Reader
This block identifies players who interact with it. It is perfect for creating owner-only access points.
* Event: bioData (returns the player's UUID and name).
Card Writer
The Card Writer is used to encode data onto Magnetic Cards, RFID Cards, and Smart Cards. It is the central hub for creating your security credentials.
* API Methods:
* cardWriter.write(string:data, string:label, boolean:lock, number:color): Writes data to the card in the slot.
Door Controller
This block is placed adjacent to Security Doors. It allows the computer to programmatically open or close the door, and can even lock it to prevent manual interaction.
* API Methods:
* door.open: Opens the door.
* door.close: Closes the door.
* door.toggle: Toggles the door state.
Energy Turret
A powerful defensive block that consumes energy (RF/EU/OC) to fire beams at entities. It requires a high-tier computer to manage targeting logic.
* API Methods:
* turret.setHeading(number:yaw): Rotates the turret.
* turret.setPitch(number:pitch): Tilts the turret.
* turret.fire: Discharges the beam.
Keypad
A 3x3 grid that allows players to input numeric codes. It does not store codes itself; it simply passes the input to the computer for validation.
* Event: keypad (returns the button pressed and the player name).
Mag Card Reader
Reads Magnetic Cards when they are right-clicked on the block.
* Event: magData (returns the data stored on the card).
RFID Reader
An active scanner that detects RFID Cards within a specific radius (default 16 blocks). It can read cards even if they are inside a player's inventory.
* API Methods:
* rfidReader.scan(number:range): Scans for nearby RFID cards.
Security Door
A blast-resistant door that is nearly indestructible. It cannot be opened by hand and must be controlled by a Door Controller.
Nano-Fog Terminal
Controls the deployment of Nano-Fog, a programmable cloud of particles that can act as a solid wall, a damaging barrier, or a transparent window based on computer commands.
