Networks

Base Access​

You can access any object in a network, but it may require a bit more logic to get a port when there are multiple of them. Getting the life sensor without subnets could look like:

local lifeSensor
for _, port in GetPartsFromPort(GetPort(1), "Port") do
	if port.PortID ~= 1 then continue end
	lifeSensor = GetPartFromPort(port, "LifeSensor")
	if lifeSensor then break end
end

Creating a Subnet​

You can create a subnet simply by calling Network:GetSubnet(Port). You can think of the port in the argument as a microcontroller itself, and you can call :GetPort() or :GetPartFromPort() on it. Now you can get a life sensor like:

local network = Network:GetSubnet(GetPort(1))
local lifesensor = network:GetPartFromPort(1, "LifeSensor")

Subnets in Subnets​

You can get subnets from subnets, too. Just call :GetSubnet() on an existing subnet instead of Network. Here's how you could get the disk:

local network = Network:GetSubnet(GetPort(1))
local network2 = network:GetSubnet(network:GetPort(2))
local disk = network2:GetPartFromPort(3, "Disk")
