hey there I heard of a script that uses Laser Antennas to scan and detect grids kilometers away (on servers)not just the short range the camera scripts can do .. is that possible or do they just talk bullshit?

How do I use it? Is there any prefix buttons I should know about? Toolbar keys to add? Is there any good or bad sides to it? Does it do anything other than mapping for ores or soil? (Although, mapping that will help me in this new scenario I have made, I could use this script!)

Most scripts i made and shared no longer work. The game changed too much.

@Innoble what more scripts have you made?
this is excellent with gps based weapons and general recon and intelegence

thats great!

@innobile i actuallly managed to get it working

I am not sure what you mean Celestite. These scripts are more like a proof of concept, meant to serve as inspiration for other scripters. If you have no programming experience, I don't think I can help you make it work.

@innoble could you please help me with this script

you're welcome. It's been a while since i wrote this, so i barely remember what was in it, but your compliments are appreciated.

Hey Innoble. Just wanted to say thanks a heap for publishing this! I decided a little while ago to write my own lidar script witha few funtionalities intended. It has been a long time since I studied either programming or vector mathematics and I have been having a lot of problems. I seem to innately comprehend the way you've done things (good documentation i recon ;) ) and using your script as a point of reference I am overcoming a lot of issues. So, thanks :)

Hi, if you are setting this up for yourself, you really need to be a scripter. I can't help you if you're not. This particular script is not user-friendly at all. I just made it to showcase some possibilities, not to actually make it usable for everyone (that would require a lot more time).

It might also be true that the game as been changed and some programming functions are now different. a good scripter can fix it, but I don't have the time and do not intend to keep this example script updated. Anyone may take over if they want. I won't be offended if you take my script, change some stuff and reupload it. Just mention my name somewhere.

COCOCorbin: Sure there is, but it would require adaptation. Only an experienced scripter would be able to do it. If anyone wants to, please do. I don't have the time atm.

The GPS points would not go into your GPS menu btw. You would still have to read them off of somewhere (detailed info of some terminal component or a text panel) and enter them into your GPS yourself.

I think only mods can directly modify your GPS menu.

Is there a way to incorporate this into a drone and have it make gps points if it finds something?

Good to know- thanks as always Innoble!!

Let me know if you ever find/fix a way to do safe multiplayer radar via script.
Innoble  [author] 4 Oct, 2017 @ 2:00pm 
I think of this more as a thing for single player or small scale multiplayer. It is not a mod, so it should totally work on a dedicated server, but it may cause heavy load. This is because LCD's need to be synchronized between clients and they cause a lot of datatransfer.

Anyway, try it if you want. The script is not very robust. If you have no experience scripting, you may have problems adapting it to your situation. The example world should work though.

How is this on dedicated servers?

Teach me ur ways of how u made dis :O ....

P.S Hmu bby

not sure what you mean, but I don't think so

Do you have any deployment script to maintain multple source files?
Skleroz 24 Jul, 2017 @ 1:06pm 
Yep, pretty complex. But already pretty effective working lidar too, worth sudying =)
Innoble  [author] 24 Jul, 2017 @ 11:34am 
Have fun. Hope it works out. The script is pretty complex. I hope you don't run into too many bugs. If so , let me know.
Skleroz 24 Jul, 2017 @ 10:08am 
Finally got time to dig into code... Looks like it will be my new favorite script after your GFD radar =)

I know, I am not finished yet hehe, sorry.

Title looks interesting, but you really need some description
