Description
Hello, it's not my mod all credits to Sunoko, it's just an update for new planets :

Updated: 3.8.2021

SE Version: 1.199

Added: Triton and Petram planets

Original Script: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1357741912
First fix: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1860078981

--------------------------------
What is this?
This script is for calculate the position directly above the desired position on the planet surface.
It makes it possible to drop things to their precise position from orbit.
I'm using this script in multiplayer, for making planet base, dropping supply crate for friends, and squash enemy base from orbit!

Setup
Building 1 Programmable Block and any power source, and load this script in Programmable block.

How to use it?
1.Create GPS in the desired drop zone, and press "Copy to clipboad" button.
2.Open Programmable block, paste(Ctrl + V) in argument, and press "Run" button.
3.Press "Custom Data" button.The GPS coordinates are generated like this :

//RESULT
//Drop Position = GPS:Drop Position(Earth):44721.44:-2286.61:-92859.87:
//Jump Position = GPS:Jump Position(Earth):45155.23:-2308.79:-93760.61:

Select and copy(Ctrl + C) the GPS coordinates.

4.Return to GPS menu, Press "Create from clipboad" button.

--------------------------------
Update :
- 2024-03-30 : LCD correction (only destination LCD not all)

@JejeServeur I'm not a modder or scripter, at best an average ship builder in SE, was just sharing a useful script I found that complements the Orbital Drop Position script.

@PsychoHedgehog Your mod work nicely, work with the 1.199, great job to the modder but a real simple tutorial and a full translate in English will be better.

I used the previous version of the script also, I had a scout craft with this script https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1737245116 which lets you determine the GPS location of a fixed object (planetary base, station or etc.) so I could drop ordinance right on top of them.
