Have you tried the new one? :)

legacy favorite

The rewrite will be a new script so I can support both without breaking backwards compatibility for this one :)

I'll still try to add cockpit LCD support into this one

Are you going to update this script or create a new one (for subscription purposes)?

Great work btw!

Nope, I'm in the process of rewrite

will this work with the builtin lcds now in cockpits?

I personally don't use mods for my lcd's. I just integrate small grid text panels into my designs.

What mod are you using for the cockpit LCDs ?

Amazing! Only if all my ships had a space for a LCD so i could put it in all my ships!

I guarantee you that the version published works as I am currently using it.

The code will tell you what you are missing in the terminal.

i had to use old version with timers

yup a bunch of other scripts work

Make sure you have scripts enabled in the world

weird doesnt work or display on screen

hey there whip.

I was thinking: would it be possible for you to make a script like the vector velocity indicator but one that shows relative target alignment?

I know what you meant, lol

I was telling you what altitude means in the game :P

yeah but what i meant is if your under ground it doesnt do negative values for the altitude its not really an issue but just something i wanted to point out

It uses the altitude above the current surface, it is the same as the cockpit altitude

nice script however the altitude doesnt do - values if your under ground but other than that amazing script

Nice. I was looking for something that would indicate prograde and retrograde in a flat space environment.

Also, tried my drop pod script? :P

I have no idea off the top of my head (not at home), but the method names should be pretty self documenting.

What methods of your script are used to calculate ship local speed along its axises, surface elevation, and pitch/roll of local gravity? I'm trying to put together a lander script for a rover I built, and I dont have much c# experience, so I'm trying to combine code from different scripts to get what I'm trying to do, and this script has several values I need. Any help is appreciated

Thanks! It means a lot :)

Whiplash141, I use many of your scripts and I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into them. You even update them as the game changes, SE is a better game because of you. Thank you!

Awesome!

Nope, I'm cool as long as I get credit :)

I am planning on making a ILS style landing aid for use with Plane Parts, and I am probably going to use at least part of your code for making the display part of it. I will give credit in the code and mod page, should I get it working. Will this be a problem?

As for pointing straight up, simply pitch until the entire screen shows sky

Not at this resolution. The higher the resolution and the more drawing I do, the performance gets exponentially worse. I was trying to make this as preference friendly as possible.

Would it be possible to add in incremental notches like a traditional attitude indicator? Numbering from 0 (horizon) to +90 -90 (straight up or straight down) This would help greatly with trying to point the ship straight up in order to escape a gravity well

Damn. Yeah, that's kind of rough.

Not easily. I capped the resolution as it is because any higher and the performance impact becomes very noticeable.

While you may only be adding 2 pixels in width, area scales at a rate of width^2 . This means more work for the code and much worse performance.

Is there a way to increase the resolution, to make it look sharper on a bigger lcd?

You dont need the " " around the horizon tag :)

And thanks!

actually not sure if it did or not. my other mistake was not including " " with "Horizon"
so... maybe it did work.. (all my err, your script is brilliant!) and got it working rather quickly. It really is easy to set up and I've had no problems with it. Just wanted to give you a cheer!

"Yeah.. reading the instructions! I spent two minutes trying to figure out why it wasn't working... because I completely missed setting the font."
The script should set that automatically once you hop in a seat :)

place programming block.. add "Horizon" to text panel, change font to monospace.
What could be easier?
Yeah.. reading the instructions! I spent two minutes trying to figure out why it wasn't working... because I completely missed setting the font. (Facepalms)
Totally love this script and its super easy to use!

One of the great scripts for SE! I tend to make "turn and burn" types of ships to accel towards, flip, and then decel when I am coming up on a location and being able to easily see my retrograde marker is invaluable!

OK. I'll take a look when I hop back on my desktop. [Yes I haven't looked for it, so yeah.]

"Inside the script? People who might not know a few things about scripting may not know where to look for that..."

The very top of the code, nice and commented lol

Inside the script? People who might not know a few things about scripting may not know where to look for that... [Myself excluded]

"So that you can run multiple copies? [One for gunner, one for pilot?]"
I dont advise this as this will cause more lag. It is possible though by giving each instance of the script a different ship controller name tag.

Is it possible to change what the script looks for? So that you can run multiple copies? [One for gunner, one for pilot?]

thank you @Whiplash141, i love your work ^^

@๖ۣۜFamous1337 @STRIKER:

I readded in optional name tags. If the code detects a ship controller with the name tag "Forward" it will only pay attention to that one. If it doesn't, it will use all ship controllers on the ship/subgrids and automatically decide which to pick.

If you are not actively controlling the ship controller, but you want the horizon to not pause, you will need to set pauseWhenAway to false :)

That would be a good idea whiplash. Make it so that you can change what cockpit it will detect.

hey, whiplash,
i am grateful for your scripts since i am fond of making tanks and warmachines and they help out a lot to make them more than props (i've yet to find the skill, will, or courage to post them on the workshop)
but i do have a question/problem, i am building a tank, and i have your artificial horizon script for the driver, it works fine, but i wanted to put one align to the gunner's sight, or the commander's sight so that they would be able to give bearing to a target as they operated the vehicle and get as close as i could to having an actual gun camera

but since the selected remote control or seat is no longer a variable i only displays the movements of the tank, could help me find a solution to this problem ?

thank you for your attention =)

@Whiplash141 Hello, I found out that I had the flickering problem when another ship with the same script was connected. Turning it off the problem vanished.

Update to the most recent version of this script, v46
