Gravity Engine Controller (Gravity Drive Script)

Subscribed

Unsubscribe

Description

Destination

Controll a structure called "Gravity Engine" in any environment

2 operating mode

MainEngine

Main engine - controls gravity, taking into account all possible variables and the environment.
Features

Flight on planets (orbits of planets) with gravity less than 0.5G
Ignore artificial gravity, other ships/structures
Improved braking curve (harder braking)
Speed hold (cruise control)
Hold the speed of the object the camera is looking at

ThrusterAssist

Help thrusters - Controls gravity only by getting data of the current force of thrusters. Increased performance, reduced functionality
Features

Increasing the force of thrusters

Features independent of operating mode

Reduces torque by override the gyroscope
Automatically selects the cockpit you are sitting in if the main cockpit is not defined
Enables gravity for walking around the ship while waiting
Can be used as a gravity gun

Override gyroscopes

Disabled

Gyroscopes will not reduce the torque generated by the deviation of the centers of mass

Enabled (Resistance Mode)

Gyroscopes will partially reduce torque
In the absence of user input (if you do not touch the Q/E buttons and do not move the mouse), completely blocks the torque

Enabled (Vector Mode)

Gyroscopes will completely block torque
Possibly unusual behavior!

Install

Requared

Gravity generators
Artificial mass
Cockpit or remote control
Gyroscopes

Optional

Text panel for displaying information
Camera for raycast

Step by step instructions

Build a ship with the requared blocks
Load the script into the program block
Ready!

Settings and arguments

Settings (Custom Data of program block)

The name of the ship's control unit (Automatic, preferably not touched)
The name of the text panel for displaying the status (To indicate the screen inside the Cockpit, etc., enter Name*ID, where Name is the name of the block, ID is the address of the screen in the block (starts from 0), if not specified, the status will be displayed on the program block)
Group name (optional)
Operating mode (MainEngine/ThrusterAssist)
Deceleration multiplier, i.e. how hard to slow down (from 0.001 to 2147483647)
Should the script use gyroscopes (Enter True if yes, or False if not)
Gyro multiplier, i.e. Gyro sensitivity (from 0.001 to 2147483647)
Whether to control gyroscopes via vector (Enter True to enable vector mode, or False to enable resistance mode, use setting #6 to disable)
Gyroscope control multiplier, i.e. gyroscope sensitivity in vector mode (from 0.001 to 2147483647)
Name of the camera used to get the speed of the object i.e. raycast
Standard cruise control speed (The speed that a stopped ship will pick up when the cruise control is turned on)
Strength of gravity in standby mode(To walk)
Advanced gyroscope control (Enter True to enable or False to enable)

looks like works correctly when gyro power isn't overpowered

Bullet 1 Dec, 2023 @ 4:32pm

Is It possible to change control A/D buttons as strafe instead of turn left/right?

Hi great script love the anti torque but i'm having issues with the script when servers restart or using the nexus server jump the script needs to be recompiled or else the ship will fly off wildly other gravity drive scripts don't have this problem i'm no coder but a fix that would help ships not fly off is keeping the mass blocks off until you need to move like what your script does with the gravity generator a fix would be amazing thank you for this script
