Using Radars with Programmable Blocks?
Hey there, I've been looking for a neat little mod like this in order to toy around with some missile stuff of mine and wondered if there is a way to retrieve a list of scanned items within the context of a programmable block, and if not if I could get my hopes up for it in the future, as it'd allow me to do entirely new stuff I couldn't do before.

maybe if it could create gps coordinance in the gps menu with each having its own name (and updated every second or so) than you could set a remote block to go to that target. than use a sesor to switch to laser guidence when it gets close enough.

If you iterated over each line using something like:

String[] gpsOutput = (IMyTextPanel)RadarOutput.Split('\n');

This would return an array of strings, each containing on entry from the LCD Panel.

Example Item in Array: GPS:Radar - Tiny Ship:37264:151339:-132709: - {X:0.5 Y:3 Z:5.5}

You could then separate each entry by using a for or foreach loop: :

foreach(string str in gpsOutput) { string[] coord = str.Split('-')[2]; /* Splits string into 3 elements (Arrays are 0 Indexed): 0) "GPS: Radar" 1) "Tiny Ship:37264:151339:-132709:" 2) "{X:0.5 Y:3 Z:5.5}" Then selects the 2 element: "Tiny Ship:37264:151339:-132709:" Next you need to split that string by the ':'. The result is: 0) "Tiny Ship" 1) "37264" 2) "151339" 3) "-132709" 4) " " You can then assign those to a double value using double.Parse and the index of the value */ double x = double.Parse(coord.Split(':')[1]); double y = double.Parse(coord.Split(':')[2]); double z = double.Parse(coord.Split(':')[3]); }

One of the classes in VRage.Math is Vector3D that can make the double X,Y,Z values useful by other parts of the PB and to the Remote Control Block:

Vector3D newGPS = new Vector3D(x,y,z);

Once you have the Vector you can do what you want with it. I might recommend using the nested class in iMyRemoteControl called MyWaypointInfo. This takes a string for the name and the Vector3D coordinate that we created.

MyWaypointInfo waypoint = new MyWaypointInfo(string, Vector3D);

At this point you could now use it with the Remote Control block to track or navigate to various places in your world.
