Self Guided Missile MK2 - Script

Improved version of my old script, now it's easier to use:
- No need to recompile
- No need of missile group
- Just add 'Missile Safety' somewhere in one of your ship's block's data and all configuration will be ready !

It's better to launch them at more than 300m

(Sometime the missile will have weird movement, it's possible that the gyroscope is not correctly oriented (sometime it is correct so IDK))

- How it work


- Build it like you want, this just have to have 1 remote control, 1 gyroscope and 1 turret.
You can use any thruster type, the spawn aim direction of the turret will be the forward direction
of the missile.
- Turn off thrusters and enable stockpile on tanks.
- Configure the turret targets to make the missile target what the turret will target.

You can also download my blueprint (with mod block) that can be found in my PP - Guided Missile MK2 mod collection.


- Write the value of the argument 'SAFETY_BLOCK_DATA_KEY' (see below, 'Missile Safety' by default) in one or more of your ship's block's data.
- Attach the missiles with merge blocks.
- Search a target and get in the missile turret range.
- Turn off your ship merge block to launch the missile.
- The missile should aim and go toward the target.


- The script default mode is SAFETY
- The script will look for a block's data that contains the value of the argument 'SAFETY_BLOCK_DATA_KEY'
If he find one or more, he will set his mode to READY.
- If he's on mode READY and he don't find a block's data that contains the value of the argument
'SAFETY_BLOCK_DATA_KEY', he will set his mode to LAUNCHING. The missile will turn off stockpile,
turn on thursters and set forward thrusters to full thurst.
- Then it will arm warheads, set his mode to SEARCHING and he will get the turret's targeted entity.
- If the entity is empty, the missile will keep going forward.
- If the entity exist, the missile send the elevation and the azimuth to the gyroscope Yaw and Pitch
(You will maybe have to change that in the code depending on turret / gyro orientation) and set
his mode to TRACKING.
- If the turret is clone enought of the target, the missile will go BOOM (or just hit the target if there are no warhead).
- When the missile miss the target, it will turn around and continue the pursuit or search for an other one
if the turret lose the target.
