I noticed one thing that if you use rotor for let's say large grid to small grid and you adjust the rotors displacement too close to large grid things get funky. Just an observation if anyone have issue that the ships gyros not working as expected check that there's enough space for subgrid to move.

I know that optimization is always present. It just seems to be more aggressive on grids that lack thrust and or gyros

Hm, that makes sense, seems to still happen even with gyros on the main grid however, possibly that is due to not all the subgrids having gyros, not a clue really.

That sounds like the game's optimizations fighting you. When the main grid doesn't have a gyro, the game tries to put the grid to sleep to save computation cycles. When you are translating, this game optimization turns off.

Great Script. I seemed to be having the same issue as the person before me where the script recognised the gyros, but refused to move. Turns out the fix was that the ship needs to be moved by thrusters before the ship turns. Strange bug, which I believe I've noticed in the past as well on ships that had subgrids (But didn't use subgrid gyros oddly enough). My suspicion of what causes this is either a subgrid being too close to the main grid and/or the mass being too high (My ship was 1.6 Gg when I noticed this bug). Hope this helps folks running into the same issue as I.

Can you upload that blueprint please?

This isn't a script issue, this is an underlying game issue that I'm trying to track down.

1. Yes, I made sure all blocks ownership is set to me
2. Yeap, world file existed before the signal update, which the script worked before
3. Yesh, though result remained the same, but the bp was made after the signal update, if that makes any difference
4. Yep, copy pasted ship had the same result

It just seems to feel like the subgrids gyros isnt acknowledging the main grid's input.

I'd like to claim user error, but you are like the 5th person across my scripts to claim the same behavior. Every ship that I have that is using my scripts works fine and if i set up a script from scratch it is also fine, so I suspect something subtle may have changed under the hood regarding block ownership.

So a few questions:
1. Have you ensured that you own all blocks on your grid?
2. Are you loading a pre-existing world that has your ship using this script?
3. Are you pasting a brand new blueprint?
4. Can you replicate this behavior if the troublesome ship is copy pasted?

Don't know if Im the only one with the situation, but even though the script acknowledge the subgrid gyros, it doesn't seem to actually use them. Did the signal update broke something or is this just an error of usage on my end?

Whoops... try now lol

Its not there.

custom data.

Is there anyway to make the program block not draw the title screen? I'd like to use that screen for other things.

@John: no

can I put this and the thruster manager into the same programmable block?

had I had known about this glorious script an hour earlier, a lot of heartache may have been saved. Praise SuGMa!

Whiplash, what about S.U.G.A.R? The Subgrid Utility Gyros And Rotation

Curious what cool things people have come up with using this script, anyone care to share what theyve made, i have no idea what id wanna do with this thing.

great! MWAHAHAHAHA

If you configure the custom data accordingly, yes.

Quick question. Does this (And your thruster script) work on connectors? Because that could be very useful! When you have ships docked, they assist in turning!

Steering Management Encompassing Grids

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)))

Awesome Script... Just call it SiGMa. Subgrid Gyro Managment ;)

Thx, I'll do it in free time

stall tTthis omnmod?

HO w do I in

"even if after last update its impossible to park it"

Update to the newest version of SWCS and use the brake_toggle argument

"could you use this script to aim fixed weapons on a subgrid with your mouse while controlling a ship with WASD/ascend and descend?"

I'm sure you _could_, but it sounds like a bad idea. MART is more suited for that and it has gyro support for turrets already built in

Ive just opened workshop and boom, new script from Whiplash!
I really appreciate Your scripts, and U've motivated me enough to learn more of C#!

(im using Yours Horizon Redux, and Wheels on rotors/hinges, even if after last update its impossible to park it)

Grab and see ya in Space! o7

@Whiplash141 could you use this script to aim fixed weapons on a subgrid with your mouse while controlling a ship with WASD/ascend and descend?

Whiplash you and you scripts are a masterpiece

MAnage Gyros on Subgrids Script (MAGS)

"wasd>rotor converter"

soon^TM

iirc this is exactly what i need to finish the technical aspect of a build. I might also need a wasd>rotor converter, its been a long time since I stopped trying to make it work lol. either way, looks like an excellent script

SuGMa balls

HAHAHAHA...automagically. Best word ever! Like the imaginary number "eleventeen".

@creeper king 82 rdav has a fleet command script

wow well done you seem to be able to make a scrip for anything wtich leads me to my question is it possable to make scrip contoled combat dones and even mineing drones maybe need 2 scrips one for like a mother ship and one for the drone

Another brilliant Whiplash script, I use your sub-grid wheels script to connect rovers together for some journeys, now I can use their own gyros to help prevent rolling over, great for peace of mind. Thank you for the great work you do.

have you tried one of my ships... there very ugly

Whip's Subgrid Gyro Options Manager

finally, gyro-friendly transformable mech!

Woo Hoo this will be fun to play with! TY Whip!!

Thx you Whiplash141!

I imagine it's for people who make control seats/command centers that are detailed with small grid blocks. They can use this script plus whip's subgrid thruster script to simply sit in seats and control the ship normally (as the ship is the 'subgrid' and the control seat is the main grid) instead of needing to grab the ship's remote control block.

Very glad to see this, should make ships with sub grids much more responsive in turns, thanks bud!

"What's the practical application for this?"

Subgrid gyros? lol

Some people have gyros on subgrids that they want to control with their mouse. This script does that. It was quite often requested, so I'm sure someone will find a use for it.

Long time subscriber. But ... ?? Scratching my head here. What's the practical application for this? Seriously, asking for real. I don't know what to do with this.

(don't say it... try to not say it... failing.......)
SUGMASCRIPT!

yepp! Whip's scripts is a must have even if you don't play with scripts
