Launch Control Script

[H1]This script is used to launch missiles guided by the Easy Lidar Homing Script. It is recommended to use this script for launching said missiles.

Easy Lidar Homing Script can be found at:[/H1] http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=807454034

How To Use

1) Load the script into a Programmable Block.

2) Configure the script using Custom Data (See screenshots below on how to configure these variables). The 4 configurable parameters are listed below:

strComputerTag Name tag of the Programmable Block loaded with the Easy Lidar Homing Script (Can also be used with Trajectory Missile Script).

strDetachConnectorTag (Optional) Name tag of the Connector closest to the Programmable Block to Unlock. This is in case your missile is attached using Merge Block AND Connector. Set blank to disable this feature.

launchSelectionType (Optional) Launch selection preference. 0 = Any Timer Block, 1 = Closest Timer Block, 2 = Furthest Timer Block.

strAdditionalCustomData (Optional) Additional Custom Data to be injected to the Programmable Block of the Easy Lidar Homing Script. Use \n for different lines (see below example for reference). This can be used to dynamically set values such as lock on distance, different R_FORWARD to use etc (See Easy Lidar Homing Script's Custom Data Configuration Section for available variables).

Each variable must be specified in the following format, with each one on a new line: <VARIABLE1>=<VALUE1> <VARIABLE2>=<VALUE2> <VARIABLE3>=<VALUE3>

Example: strComputerTag=TorpedoComputer launchSelectionType=2 strAdditionalCustomData=useOffsetTargeting=true\nraycastAheadCount=3

3) Trigger this script from your Toolbar as Run or Run with default arguments. DO NOT loop this script. It is meant to be triggered once for each missile launch.

For use with Easy Lidar Homing Script, you will execute this script in your Toolbar with the Run Argument you intended to be set to the missile. Example: You have 5 toolbar buttons with this script, each with Run Argument as MODE:0, MODE:1, MODE:2, MODE:3, MODE:4 respectively. This allows you to launch the Easy Lidar Homing Script missile as 5 different modes at the click of a button.

Using This With Trajectory Missile Script

You can setup a Remote Launch System when combined with Trajectory Missile Script and Raycast Target Painter.

1) Add this below line to the Custom Data of the Launch Control Script's PB :

listenerId=LAUNCHSITE

2) Build an Antenna and set its Assigned Programmable Block to this Launch Control Script's PB.

3) Using the Raycast Target Painter, raycast a target, then press Button #8. Ensure antenna on the target painter has enough range to reach this script.

Specific Site Selection

On the Target Painter's Send GPS Computer PB, the Argument field is populated with LAUNCHSITE keyword. This keyword is in sync with the listenerId configured on the Launch Control Script PB's Custom Data. Change both these values to configure different sites for launch selection.
