  Description

Howdy!

This script allows you to control gyros on subgrids using your mouse. This will allow you to use gyros on subgrids just like normal gyros. This script is very simple to setup and should permit you to build some neat multi-grid designs.

Do note; however, that gyros on subgrids will control much more sluggishly than if they weren't on subgrids. This is a result of (1) how the physics engine applies gyro torque and (2) how overridden gyros have a built in slowdown factor that regularly controlled gyros do not experience.

  Setup Instructions

[olist] [*] Place this script in a programmable block. [*] Place at least one ship controller on your ship [*] Place gyros on subgrids. Subgrids include pistons, rotors, or hinges. [/olist]

  Ship Controller Prioritization

The script will automagically detect what seat you are controlling on your ship and begin controlling subgrid gyros. If you have multiple ship controllers on your ship, it will select them based on the following priority: [olist] [*] Main seat/remote [*] The first seat that was controlled [/olist]

  Author's Notes

I couldn't come up with a silly acronym for this one, so I gave up and settled for this boring name lol. Though as a friend pointed out, you could shorten the name to SuGMa... [img=https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/864529562762739763.png?v=1]

This has been one of my most requested scripts, so I decided to stop tinkering with it and just push it out the door.

Also, I made the sprites for the cute little running screen using the SESpriteBuilder tool that I developed: https://gitlab.com/whiplash141/spritebuilder/-/wikis/home. It may be of use to scripters trying to visualize and design sprites :)
