Textreader

Textreader is a Datapack thats used for reading and sending various text sources such as signs, books (lecterns included) and text_display entites as chat messages.

Triggers

Textreader provides various means of sending text sources into chat with signs only being readable with each source having their unique result with the following:

• Signs

Can send both the front/back text of the Sign.
textreader.a_sign.do_send and textreader.a_sign.do_read uses a cast from the player's eyes, textreader.a_sign.do_complex uses the position of the player's feet.

• Books and the Lectern

Sends the page contents of a players set index value. Title and Author included if the book is a written book. textreader.a_book.do_send checks the mainhand slot and runs if applicable, textreader.a_lectern.do_send uses the position of the player's feet.

• Text Displays

Sends the text data of the text_display entity. textreader.a_text_display.do_send uses a cast from the player's eyes to get the entity text data.

Configs

You as the player can change how some functions work by changing the following settings:

• Send Type

Affects only signs. Send Type changes how signs are read via textreader.c_send_type with 0 = Front and Back, 1 = Front Only and 2 = Back Only.

• Page Index

Changes which page of a book should the player send the contents from via textreader.c_index. Negative values are invalid!

Developer

Developer Mode allows for some more fine control over certain stuff. This can be potentially dangerous and be used for malicious intents so Debug Toggle is disabled by default!

• Developer Mode

Changes if the player can use StringLib for signs and execute commands via signs and books. textreader.zzz_config.developer_mode 0 = Run as normal, 1 = Use StringLib and execute commands.

• Debug Toggle

Determines if Developer can be used (Disabled by default) Change the #Value of textreader.zzz_config.debug to 0 = Disabled or 1 = Enabled
