Helper Script For SAM

Description
Helper Script for S.A.M.
Wait what is S.A.M.? And, why does it need help?
Well S.A.M. (or commonly typed SAM) is an amazing Autopilot Script created by Magistrator now updated/maintained by TechCoder
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892105352

SAM AUTOMATES Shuttle Routes between Outposts and Bases

If it is already great, why do I need a HELPER?

This Helper Script adds CONFIGURATION CONTROL for EVERY SAM CONNECTOR
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892105352

Do you want to use full speed when the SAM ship is going to a mine outpost and slower speed when the ship is returning to base?
Do you need to switch Docking connectors when moving between multiple bases?
Well that 's exactly what you can do with this Helper Script !!! and much more....

EVERY SAM DOCK WITHIN THE WORLD CAN HAVE ITS OWN PROFILE!

Yes You can even choose wich Connector to use when docking !!! that's great ...and you can set ANY SAM Attributes Values and Lots of Specific Bloks like Remote Controller, Timers, Sorters

Installation
Block Requirements
You can either use Tag Or Custom Data to enable a block to be used by the Helper script.
Tagging
  • LCD : [SamHelper]
  • Cockpit : [SamHelper Panel0=] : 0 is the index of the Cockpit screen
  • LOG LCD : [SamHelper LOG]
  • Cockpit : [SamHelper Panel0=LOG] : 0 is the index of the Cockpit screen
  • EG ; Multiple Display on cockpit : [SamHelper Panel0= Panel1=]

Custom Data
  • LCD : SamHelper.
  • Cockpit : SamHelper.Panel0= : 0 is the index of the Cockpit screen
  • LOG LCD : SamHelper.LOG
  • Cockpit : SamHelper.Panel0=LOG : 0 is the index of the Cockpit screen
  • EG ; Multiple Display on cockpit : Same as above per line

Profile
By default : a DEFAULT profile will be generated in this script's Custom Data
Copy it and create another Section with the Dock you want to set up and the values you want to use

[DEFAULT]
MaxSpeed=95
ConvergingSpeed=60
ApproachDistance=500
ApproachingSpeed=30
DockDistance=10
DockingSpeed=5
UndockDistance=10
TaxiingSpeed=5
TaxiingDistance=10
TaxiingPanelDistance=10
Wait=10
NODAMPENERS=false
IGNOREGRAVITY=false
Connector=Underside
Rc=Remote Control
Timer=

[BASE2]
MaxSpeed=150
Connector=Right

Command references

SAM attributes
In addition to setting exact values (like you do in S.A.M.), you can increase or decrease the current value by adding "+" or "-" :
Eg : "mx +10" will add 10 to the current SAM MAX SPEED : if it was 100, calling mx +10 will add 10 so it will be 110

Thanks debstar, I'll give it a try!

@gigglelamer

not realy but there is a fix.
You need to set a list of your waypoints as SAM "DOCK"

You need to add the GPS as a dock in the SAM
-> SAM ADD WAYPOINT1 [YOUR GPS]
-> SAM ADD WAYPOINT2 [YOUR GPS]

Your SHIP must be using [SAM LIST] or [SAM LOOP]

Then add a profile for that Dock
[WAYPOINT1]
MaxSpeed = 1500

[WAYPOINT2]
MaxSpeed = 400

A profile is a "SAM DOCK" so adding all of your GPS with SAM ADD will

I ll work on the project soon to release the DEV version with some fixes

debstar! Thanks for keeping SAM alive. My question is; Is it possible to create a SAM helper profile for a manual gps entry?

For example, I'm using an aerodynamics mod and I want SAM to move @ full speed (1300 m/s) towards a planet then decrease it's speed to 400m/s at a manual waypoint above the planet then proceed to a dock on the planet's surface.
