Raycast Recasted

Description
This modification focuses on the raycasting function of cameras.

It is needed to fullfil my experimental script that puts an abstract of what it sees on the lcd blocks. I want to have my cameras to be able to transfer what it sees to lcd like a viewscreen. There use to be a mod like that, but it does not work anymore, and you needed an extra thing to load with your game. Since I do not have that skill, I am creating a script that places raycast hits into colours displayed on lcd. This give an abstract mural so I can see in the dark.

Wolfenray's Raycast to LCD Viewscreen

Anyways, here is what this modification does

- Reduces raycasting cone to 11.25 degrees (1/4 of vanilla 45 degrees)
- increases raycast speed to 45000 meters per tick (45000k per second)

This works really well with radar scripts. Leave comments, and wait for the viewscreen script.

May love be your guide in the decisions you make.

-Update Three-

* Updated mod to Full Release compatibility
* Quadrupled the raycast time (speed + distance)

it makes my game crash upon loading

Like some have said already, this is extremely broken and appears to make connectors crash the game whenever you build one.

It is preventing me from spawning blueprints.

Probably. I was going to look into that, was doing some research first. It may be possible to fix better then ever, will have time to look into it in the next few days. Will keep you posted on my progress.

Hi, your script is broken. When I check the code it gives me 4 times an error that says something about "IMyTextPanel.WritePublicText is obsolete. LCD public text is deprecated"
Could be that the new cockpit LCD screen system Keen made broke the script.

@ Hoovy Simulator 2 [FIN]

Yes sir, I did update this. I also gave it a power boost by 4x. Thx for your patience, the new blocks .sbc file was changed because of the new blocks added. Since this is a camera block function, I had to refresh the params. So I took liberty to give it more power! :D

Should work great now, let me know if there are any more bugs.

Did you fix this?
wolfenray73  [author] 7 Mar, 2019 @ 10:26pm 
Ok, that makes sense. I will fix this problem on Saturday when I am not working. It is an easy fix, just need the time to get to it. :)
