Gauges + Radar Round gauges and a sweeping radar for cockpits and LCDs. Works on its own or next to ShipOS. Pairs with ShipOS: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3828301715 Radar blueprint: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3832624090 v1.1 - Scan rotor: [Dash Scan] rotor spins [Radar] cameras at the fastest rate camera charge allows - Hinges and limited rotors sweep back and forth - Sweep arm follows the scan rotor - Gauge faces: face=bars, dial or digital, per screen (faceN= for cockpit screens)
Features - 5 gauges: SPEED, ALT/JUMP, H2, BATTERY, T/W - Gauge faces: bars, round dials with needles, or digital - ALT shows vertical speed, time to impact and a PULL UP warning - Faint artificial horizon behind ALT (velocity marker in space) - Radar from turrets, Custom Turret Controllers, sensors and cameras - Scan rotor spins cameras for full 360 deg coverage - Contact shapes: square large grid, triangle small grid, arrow missile, ring asteroid - Nearest hostile boxed with distance, closing speed and size - Shares contacts between ships and bases over antennas - Red flash and sound alarm on hostiles, PULL UP, low H2 or low battery - Themes: cyan, violet, green, amber - Shares blocks with other scripts like ShipOS or MMaster's Automatic LCDs
Setup 1. Put the script on its own programmable block. It does not need ShipOS. 2. Cockpit screens set themselves up. 4+ screens: 0 gauges, 2 radar, 3 big ALT. 2-3 screens: 0 gauges, 1 radar. 3. Gauges on an LCD: add [Dash] to its name, or put LCDs in a group named Dash. 4. Radar on an LCD: add [Dash Radar] to its name, or put LCDs in a group named Dash Radar. 5. Second cockpit: add [Dash] to its name for the full layout. Gauges follow the cockpit in use. 6. Gauge face: face= in the PB's Custom Data sets all screens. face= in an LCD's or cockpit's Custom Data sets that block. faceN= sets one cockpit screen (e.g. face2=dial). 7. Radar sources: turrets and Custom Turret Controllers work as is. Add [Radar] to sensors and cameras. 8. Scan rotor: add [Dash Scan] to a rotor carrying [Radar] cameras. It spins at the fastest rate camera charge allows for camRange. Point cameras different ways (e.g. 2 sides or 4 at 90 deg) for faster full coverage. 9. With a scan rotor, the sweep arm follows the rotor. 10. Alarm: add [Dash] to a sound block and pick a sound. 11. Network: needs a broadcasting antenna on each grid, same netCh. 12. Base: put it on a PB with no cockpit for radar on the PB screen and tagged LCDs.
With ShipOS v2.4.1 In ShipOS Custom Data set gaugeSurface=-1, radarSurface=-1 and statusSurface=1. Don't name a Gauges + Radar LCD [Radar] or put it in a group named Radar. ShipOS will take it.
