[APck] TGP TargetingPod

Description
TGP is a targeting script for APck ecosystem, the most feature-rich source of targeting data for all compatible scripts.

Feature highlights
Raycast (aka LIDAR) painting and tracking
Locking and tracking multiple targets

Is a network
TGP offers a global "target offer" channel which "advertize" targets to consumer APck scripts, which can subscribe if their criteria matches

Local target offsets
Relative points on target are stored and can be treated as separate targets

Offsets auto discovery
AI turrets can be used to automatically gather subsystem points (weapons/propulsion/etc)

Configurable keybinds
WASD/QE/C/Spacebar press or double-tap bindings for commands

Target queries
Consumers (APck scripts) can query TGP for targets in certain area (of certain type, etc) globally

Tracker turrets
Built-in lite turret controller implements rotor-mounted camera-equipped tracker turrets that listen to WASD/mouse input and are auto-stabilized

Filtering
Configurable checks to allow/ban targets based on their size, area, travel direction, etc

Automatic awareness
AI turrets can detect enemies up to 2000m range and pass them to raycast tracking subsystem, so the target is not lost even if it goes outside of turret ai range, without any explicit user input

Scan burst
Raycast can do a scattershot scan to recover lost lock, or to lock multiple small targets at once

APck ecosystem, huh?
This is a collection of scripts that are designed to work together. They share common interfaces for communication and work in a plug-n-play fashion. The most commonly used are
  • AutoPillock Core
  • Thrust Provider
  • Commander
  • TGP (this one)
  • HudDog
  • SCAM
  • Tree Menu Command
less known are
  • RWC (custom turret controller)
  • GRA/GAPS
  • Aligned Weapon Trigger

How to start
Quickstart
Get the sample blueprint, activate tracker turret remote, use E button to lock target

Proper start
Read the docs and the script argument reference.

I try my best to keep things organized.
If you ask/compain/suggest in the comments below, high chances you would just annoy me and I will ignore your post. Please respect my time and other peoples too, it would be easier for everybody to look up information.
