Jump Drive Nav Computer

Description
This is a script that uses a gyro, a Remote Control and a Cockpit to give you a nav computer.

It gives you a screen where you can select a destination, after selection it will align your ship to to the destination and set the Jump Drives blind jump distance.

The destinations are added, by adding them as waypoints on the Remote Control

Running the block with "up" as argument will go up in the menu
Running the block with "down" as argument will go down in the menu
Running the block with "align" as the argument will align the ship to the destination, set the jump distance and tell you when the ship is aligned and ready to jump.

To jump, use blind jump.

Block names, as well as which LCD in the cockpit displays what, can be configured in the top of the script.
Video detailing how to get it running is attached! **OUT OF DATE**
The script no longer uses the 5-block method to orient itself, it gets its orientation from the orientation of the cockpit.

!!Gyro orientation is important, if your shop flails around, reposition gyro. It should be same orientation as cockpit.
Location on grid does not matter.

@Tekk
Finally I could find out how to take into consideration the orientation of multiple gyros, so now I have published the script.

You can find it here:

@alenoi yeah, haven't found the time to give a proper update on everything :|

Would love to get a link to your remake, sounds cool!

Really nice work liked it a lot, although the video seems old because now the orientation blocks are not needed.
Also I made a remake of this script wich uses external LCDs and CustomData and a bit different UI. I will put your name in the description because the core logic is yours.

This is amazing work. It worked as expected however be advised that jumping to locations at or near planets does not work so smoothly depending on what angle you’re coming from. Due to limits in the code you are just doing a blind jump which has restrictions in the game physics preventing you from jumping into gravity. That being said though this is one of the most well done Scripts I’ve came across in some time.

I have updated the script to no longer use the 5-block system, it now gets its orientation relative to the target using some vector-matrix stuff.

Keep in mind that Gyro orientation is important due to the way that Gyro Override works.
It should be in the same orientation as the cockpit.

@Vaagventje
I've also added two values to the top of the script, so you can change which LCD in the cockpit displays what.

Yeah I placed the center battery literally at the center of mass and it rotates very slowly as I sit there waiting for it to possibly stop. But nonetheless I have to give up on this mod. Which is a shame it’s amazing work here

Yeahh, it's not a great system really :| as i've mentioned before, the script needs an overhaul, i already know how to get rid of the 5 blocks, so you'll only need the gyro, remote and cockpit, just gotta finde the time and energy.

I believe the jump is centered around the center of mass of the ship, but i'm not sure. shouldn't matter too much in any case, as long as the configuration is right
Spencer 26 Aug, 2020 @ 8:36am 
The confusing part is your video doesn't specify if I should align them with center of mass or with the center of the jump drive. Furthermore, I'm unsure if the jumpdrive needs to as well be aligned with the center of mass. I feel like the script is trying to work tho so I predict one of these tests I will have placed the blocks properly and it will work.
Spencer 26 Aug, 2020 @ 3:02am 
This script is awsome unfortunatly I have placed the 5 blocks various ways on this grid and the ship just rotates when I try and align

found it, and thanks. oh and yeah it could use a overhaul :D stil works as intended tho
