Can script remember distance traveled?
Go: 200m.. player pass in front of ship so auto stop
Em continue?
I think this will require create 2 GPS points (start-Stop) and then reexecute go to last GPS

Hey. It's a mod HUD LCD
Enigmus 26 Jan, 2019 @ 12:25pm 
Is that a mod for viewing the LCD output on the hud, or did that add an API call in the programing block for that?

It possible, but I think it's not a solution for a gearbox.
If you want to travel for a long distances, maybe it's job for remote control autopilot.

Hello, I must say: HOLY S**T YOU MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT SCRIPT EVER!!!1!

Now seriously, I can't count how many times I searched for a script that allowed me to point somewhere and let my ship go on without having to bother with collision.

Just a question, would it be posible for you to make it go around the obstacle instead of stopping? It would be even more useful in long cruises. Also does it check overall thruster power for brake distance?
