Whip's Planetary Compass Script

Previously titled: "Whip's Planetary Bearing & Compass Script"

---

This code has had a complete rewrite as of June 26, 2020. It should now be much more pretty and work on all text panels and blocks with multiple screens (like cockpits).

---

Howdy! This script will determine your planetary bearing angle then display it on a compass! Since the code is only usable in planetary settings, the code will give you a warning if it detects no natural gravity.

---

1. Make a program block with this script loaded into it
   
2. Make a ship controller (remote control, cockpit, or flight seat) pointing forward
   • (OPTIONAL) Add the phrase Reference somewhere in its name.
     
   • If no ship controller tagged Reference is detected, the code will use all ship controllers that it finds on the grid/subgrids
3. Add Compass to the name of text panels or blocks with text surfaces that you want the compass displayed.
   
   • Blocks with text surfaces include: Cockpits, flight seats, programmable blocks
     
   • Configure which text surface the compass is displayed on within the block's custom data (You don't need to do this for text panels).
   
   
4. You are good to go! :)

You can configure the colors, appearance, and behavior of the compass displays in the Custom Data of the programmable block that this script is loaded in.



Also, in the Custom Data of each block with text surfaces, you can toggle the display of the radial style of compass. If true, the radial compass will be drawn, if false, the horizontal compass will be drawn.

I went ahead and rewrote this code in its entirety to use a sprite based system as of June 26, 2020. With this update came some changes to the default configuration. The name tag for screens is now "Compass" by default instead of "Bearing", but I've added some code to accept "Bearing" as well to preserve backwards compatibility.

I hope y'all enjoy! If you notice any bugs leave me a comment describing what you are experiencing and I will try to help you troubleshoot :)
