This 3d radar is cool asf I wish there was a modernized version

@Gun2275 That script is from 25 Nov, 2016 (4 years old)
I am surprised it did not crash the game

is it just me or is this script too dated to work right, bc when it does starts the display is unreadable, but most of the time the code just brakes down and quits

For some reason, exiting the cockpit and deleting one of the targets totally freezes the radar script and the only way to restart it is to go into the programming block, edit, save, and re trigger the timer block. This was pretty annoying for me while I was trying to get this thing working well. The system as a whole also seems pretty slow at acquiring targets sometimes but this behavior is hard to reproduce. I'm using the advanced sensor mod which is just a normal sensor with a 1500m max range.

Shit script doesn't work.

how to make this thing work

am i the only one having trouble with the radar after the new update? i need help. it gives me a lot of errors when i try to compile the script

Can you by perchance update this mod? and if so, can you make it so the rotors are not needed?

for me all worke but no dot on the lcd????

I got it going, but hte screen keeps flashing back and forth between teh radar and the ONLINE screen of the LCD

hey, how can I fix the LCD so it doesnt flash between the radar and when it says "Online" at the top?

Can someone help me, haven't been able to get this working since new update. Every time I check scripts it says something about "colorOrientationDot = blue" not being used

Script works really well! The only problem is the limited range without mods. Is it possible to have this run using cameras or a remote control block to extend the range like some of the other non 3D radar scrips?

Works great, except for two issues: All targets are shown in the inner ring (range set to 10000 and using the super sensor mod, a target at 10 km appears at the outer range of the inner ring) and the display is mirrored (left and right, up and down; it gets forward an backward right). The latter issue could be solved by adding a hidden cockpit upside down for reference.
Thanks for the great script!

Implemented and its working thank you and amazing program. I have to turn this into a comment //char colorOrientationDot = blue; to get a clean compilation though. @Fatsheep make sure you named everything correctly. At first I only had it displaying grey background. Was because I didn't rename forward block variable to my pilot seat. Don't use the " " on your names for the display, sensor or forward block.

I am getting an error when trying to run it: Caught Exception during execution of script: Index was outside the bound of the array

i have used it yesterday and it worked perfectly.

Not sure if this works anymore, can someone else confirm, or am i just stupid and doing it wrong?

Nice script. It there posibility to make just hidden sensor towers (Without rotors) around your base (planet) and make the battle map on base lcd where dots will represent the the towers and detection change the dot color. As Sensors on large grids can do 500m now

@Germany, You might have the one of the items not named correctly.

Could you add a good visible Line where forward is?

It would be cool if you could use the radar dish from the holographic Radar (605086856) as sensor input for this display. Is there a way to do that for users or is a change in the script neccessary?

For me, this error always comes: Object reference not set to an instance of an object, can anyone help me?

ok thank you for this but my sensors dont seem to work for me i have one on a rotator but no matter what i do i guess my sensor is just not working that or no dots are apearing so the script just isnt getting the info right

Hi, I love this script and have used it often. I would like a modification of it however. I am looking for a way to make a scalable space or ground sector map using captured GPS coordinates. would this be possible to do? I know MMaster has a script that can capture the waypoints to text panel so that may help.

@gaminngtoast something like a cockpit

Hi alex-thatradarguy,

first of all, I like the 3D radar script. I used the super senor mod that goes up to 10km and it displays well. Its a little buggy like, sometimes it needs time to see the target and the distance is not really accurate (off by a few meters up to a km) but you can add the imagination that these ships first avoid the radar for a while before they get detected.

I find a few math faults in 213 and 242, also I've got a few questions about the script relating to how it exactly works and optimalizing rotor speed and sensor ranges. Next to that I also wonder if its possible to tweak the script in a way that you just have to place the displayRange in the title of the LCD screen (not thename) so that you have a long range and short range LCD.

Plz sent me a friend request on steam so we can chat in private and maybe making this script even better! ;)

Manny thanks! GB

what do you mean with forwardblockname ? what block?

Same Here At least this one Shows Screen

Hello, all creator radars do not work, it's the fourth script I use, the previous ones do not work, this script works on screen, but it does not detect the sensors. That is to say, sensors detect, which is not scripted and does not show on the screens what the sensors detect.

@alex-thatradarguy I've made several changes to the radar script but for some reason I was unable to get the graphical thing to work. It misplaced the coordinates and I'm not sure why it did that. I'm a bit stumped about it.

hello, im no scripter and i was wondering if there is a possibility to tweak this script to utilize a laser antenna, not sure if its possible , practicale or either but just curious

does this script require a rotor or can i just mount sensors around the ship?

Does it work without sensors or does it need at least one?

Question about the range [range in meters] does it correspond to the sensor's range or it's independent? Like I set my sensor to something like 1000 and the displayRange is set to 50?

I was asking because the RC unit didn't use rotors.

@Lystent Not since Keen got rid of the GFD (GetFreeDestination) function... Although In theory you could replace the sensor or remote control block with a camera (or multiple cameras) and use the new raycast feature to detect grids instead - DerLaCroix has already done something similar to this with his Camera long range scanner script and Alysuis with his Easy LIDAR guided missiles... The annoying part would be rewriting huge parts of the code to take advantage of these changes, which would then need to be tested, tweaked 'etc', all of which takes up a ridiculous amount of time and effort.

Is using a RC block as a radar component still a thing?

Hello, i get a error

Program(197,2): Error: The type or namespace name MyDetectedEntityInfo could not be found

What about the raycast features in cameras?

@PandoraWiggle I agree, that would be awesome. I'm looking in the API, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like i have access to getting any useful info from antenna blocks from ingame scripts. I can only access the range value, and toggle show ship names on/off, and toggle broadcasting on/off. Pretty useless. One would probably have to add features by creating an actual mod in that case.

Question: Would it be possible to make a version of this that operates, instead of on sensors, on the antennae blocks? Registering signals from neutral, friendly, and enemy antennas/beacons. I know that, in theory, this would be a bit superfluous, but in practice it'd still be a pretty cool thing to have, especially for play with the interface turned off.

Anyway, otherwise, great script. Shame it's confined by the limitations of the blocks and engine it's got to work with.

@lordgrey Alright. Nope.

Right, it is. Of course it is Entity, Sorry. Also got now why it doesn't work. The stable version isn't as far as 1.162. So I hope it will run in a further update. Or should this be able to also run with 1.158?

@lordgrey That's your typo on "MyDetectedEbtityInfo" right? I can't find that typo in my code. By the way, i think you can only expect this to work on the development branch at this point.

Sadly it is broken again:
Program (197,2): Error: The type or namespace name 'MyDetectedEbtityInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Updated. It should work on the 1.162 / 1.163 dev branch now.

Yeah i assume all my radar scripts are completely broken with the new changes, and i knew this would happen. I haven't had the time to rebuild it yet, but i want to, because the new api looks fun.

Getting this error each time I click the "check code" button:

"Program(225,31): Error: Cannot implicitly convert type
'Sandbox.ModAPI.Ingame.MyDetectedEntityInfo' to
VRage.Game.ModAPI.Ingame.IMyEntity' "

Playing in Dev Branch by the way.

does this still work?
