Wico Techniker Custom

Custom Craft Control.

• front scanning using camera raycast new in 1.63 DEV
  
• uses any number of front-facing cameras for scanning. No naming needed.
  
• keeps track of detected entities and reports on GPS text panel.
  
• Proximity warning and Emergency stop procedure.
  
• reports tool arm position for named rotors (Techniker)
  
• 'coast' mode that turns off front-facing thrusters. allows motion to continue like turning off damperners, but keeps steering control from turning.

A cockpit or remote control is needed to determine the 'direction' of the ship.

The code first looks for a remote control named "Remote Control Techniker"
It then searches for any remote control with "[NAV]" in the name. It will then search for ANY remote control.
And finally it will search for any cockpit

Note: "Front" is determined by the orientation of the cockpit/remote control.

The first text/LCD panel with "[GPS]" in the name is used to output the GPS coordinates.


All front-facing cameras are used for scanning unless they have the text "[VIEW]" in the name


There are no naming requirements for emergency stop. The front and rear thrusters are automatically determined.


The reporting is placed on a text/LCD panel named "LCD Bridge R". If that block is not found, it will use the first block with "Craft Report" in the name.

Name can be changed in the Programing Block's CustomData.


The range is placed on a text/LCD panel with "[RANGE]" in the name or CustomData.
Multiple LCDs are supported. Suggest setting text font to Monospace

Name can be changed in the Programing Block's CustomData.

No Longer needed

The PB needs to be run by a timer. It does not need to be run more than once per second. It should run the main PB with the argument "timer"

Optionally, a timer can be made to allow the code to be run quickly when needed. For this code, that is only when initializing on each load. This timer must have "[WCCT]" in the name. It should run the main PB with the argument "wcct".

This code is based on my Craft Control scripts and it also supports sub-modules.
See the documentation for Craft Control for specifics.

If you are not using sub-modules, turn off submodule support in CustomData to save performatnce

ADDED 2.0L The script will first check CustomData of the PB for shipname=XXX and use the XXX as the name of the ship.

Otherwise, the name of the craft is determined from the antenna name. Antennas with 'unused' in the name are skipped (Techniker has two antennas).

This name is used in the displays.

Added 2.0L: Setting ship name and long and short range scan values in CustomData.
Example CustomData:
ShipName=Rhino Freighter
ShortRangeMax=1000
LongRangeMax=100000000

V3.2A Added more settings to CustomData. only need lines for items that should be changed from the default

Example:
[TECHKNIKER]
DoForwardScans=true
CheckGasGens=false
TechnikerCalcs=true
GPSFromEntities=true
AirVents=false

shipname=Bob's Big Boat
shortrangemax=1500
longrangemax=15000
