Path Manager

This script is designed to record paths, which are then saved to a list and can be accessed anytime.
Paths can be added to Remote control, or created from current Remote control waypoints.
You can then rename them in custom data of programable block.
Paths will be stored in a blueprint.
Added ability to delete last recorded waypoint, you can see direction to it on the Compass (while recording is paused)
You can now share paths with other grids or store them in your Command Center (see more below)

I got an idea for this script when using brilliant script DAS - Driver Assisting System
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1089115113
It will be also cornerstone for my next autopilot script.

To set up displays for the LCD interface add "PathManager" to its name.
You will only need three basic arguments to control the script:
"Up"
"Apply"
"Down"
I recommend to add these to the hotbar.

You can now set up a Command Center, where you can store your paths.
For that check Config section in Custom Data. There you will find these settings:

• "Vehicle" - set to true if you want to record or otherwise use paths with this grid. Otherwise set to false
  
• "Command Center" - set to true if you want to store paths on this grid. Otherwise set to false.

CC will automatically recieve paths sent from other grids.
To store paths in a Command Center use argument "Send Paths" in your vehicle.
To retrive paths from a CC use argument "Retrieve Paths" in your vehicle

If you don't want a Command Center, then you can still share paths with other grids:

• Sharing grid - use argument: "Send Paths"
  
• Recieving grid - use argument: "Recieve Paths"

• "Initialize" - searches for new blocks used by this script. (LCDs, Cockpits, Remote control)
  
• "Rename Paths" - renames paths (check Custom Data). Can also delete paths if you put "DELETE" to a "rename" field of unwanted path
  
• LCD Interface:
  
  • "Up" - cursor Up
    
  • "Down" - cursor Down
    
  • "Apply" - selects highlighted item
• Antenna communication:
  
  • "Send Paths" - sends current path list through antenna. If you have a CC in range of antenna, then it will save your paths there.
    
  • "Retrieve Paths" - If there is a Command Center in antenna range then it will send you its stored path list.
    
  • "Recieve Paths" - Recieves paths from other vehicles (if they send some). Only use it if you dont have a CC.
• Recording:
  
  • "Record Start" - starts path recording
    
  • "Record End" - stops recording and saves path
    
  • "Record Pause" - pauses recording
    
  • "Record Continue" - continues recording
• Remote Control:
  
  • "Reverse Waypoints" - reverses current waypoints in Remote control
    
  • "Clear Waypoints" - deletes all waypoints from Remote control

• Not optimized for:
  
  • Fighter Cockpit display 0
    
  • Helm display 0
    
  • Large Grid corner LCD panels

• More remote control actions
  
• Control drones from Command Center.

v1.0:

• added ability to delete last waypoint while recording is paused (down to first waypoint)
  
• you can now see the position of last waypoint on the Compass inspired by the Elite Dangerous one. It's really simple navigation tool:
  
  • If the smaller circle is Solid, then the waypoint is in front of you.
    
  • If the smaller circle is Hollow, then the waypoint is behind you.
    
  • If the smaller circle is in the middle of larger circle, then the last waypoint is right ahead of you/behind you.

v0.99

• Antenna communications - share paths with other grids.
  
• added Command Center role
  
• you can now also delete paths in Custom Data. Simply write "DELETE" to a "rename" field of unwanted path.
  
• new commands
