Detectors are a type of Electrical Component that detect water/oxygen/motion/smoke and send out signals accordingly.

Most commonly used with Pumps to auto-pump water out of certain rooms (custom submarines) and to trigger siren about rising flood in the submarine.

Motion Detector

"Sends out a signal when it detects movement."

The Motion Detector is an electrical component used to provide a signal when it detects a creature.

Motion Detectors can have their positive and negative output set to a user determined value allowing the usual 1 or 0, or possibly an rrr,ggg,bbb,aaa value to change the color of light components.

It is most commonly used in tandem with Light Components to provide a warning when monsters are nearby.

State_Out Outputs a signal of 1 when a creature is detected, otherwise outputs 0.

Oxygen Detector

"Sends out a value between 0-100 depending on the quality of the surrounding air."

The Oxygen Detector is an electrical component used to provide a signal when it detects oxygen.

It is most commonly used in tandem with Status Monitors to view the level of oxygen in certain hulls. The signal_out output can be connected to the Status Monitor's oxygen_data_in input to display the air quality for a room.

Signal_Out Outputs the level of oxygen of the room it is in, ranging from 0 to 100.

Smoke Detector

"Sends out a signal when it senses smoke."

The Smoke Detector is an electrical component used to provide a signal when it detects fire.

It is most commonly used in tandem with Alarms to signal the crew to an active fire.

Signal_Out Outputs a signal of 1 when fire is detected, otherwise outputs 0.

Water Detector

"Sends out a signal when the detector is submerged."

The Water Detector is an electrical component used to provide a signal when it detects water.

It is most commonly used in tandem with Pumps, Doors, Alarms to pump out water, or alert the crew when water is detected inside.

Connection panel for Detectors
Signal_Out Water_% Outputs a signal of 1 when water is detected, otherwise outputs 0. Outputs the detector's room water level in %.

Trivia

• Before being introduced to vanilla, Motion Detectors were already present in the mod Barotrauma Extended (BTE). Originally in BTE the sensor function was added using xml code from already existing vanilla "alien motion sensors".
