ScrapComputers

I'm working through trying to fixing it. I'll make a pull in a bit.

I can't use `display.drawText()` on a multidisplay.

ERROR: [LuaVM]:8: attempt to index global 'sm_scrapcomputers' (a nil value)

@кириешко For ID changing when the target loses blocks, well that makes sense as internally the target's creation gets destroyed into 2 creations. I am pretty sure they have different id's when they break meaning you will have to manage that yourself.

Radar's are not great for small targets and that's intentional to balance things out

For radars being unusable in supersonic speeds, technically a bug but i will call this a feature for balancing reasons.

We want things to be balanced and somewhat realistic. There was supposed to be a inertia drive which basically converted your creation to a spacecraft but that was too overpowered hence why the gravity controller exists meaning in order to make a flyer with ScrapComputers, you will have to do the math with math.pid and use thrusters.

TLDR: Balancing reasons and ID's change due to how the game handles destruction of creations.

also radar cant see supersonic speed targets, is it fixable or engine limitations?

and another question, is there any way to make radar detect small targets, like rockets. Even small degree radar cant see it on large distance

@VeraDev actually ID is changing with mass change, when target loss some blocks it changing its ID

@Maggz Not really without reimplementing the Radar yourself with Unsafe Env making it more optimized.

But that probably will make it slower as all of the Radar code would get ran in the LuaVM which would make it slower than native code.

Is there a way around this? Without compromising function

@Maggz This is probably because when you get all targets, it scans through all bodies, units and players. In ur case theres probably a lot of bodies and the radar does a bit of expensive stuff.

That's probably why its lagging.

However it does lagg when fired in a world with a lot of creations welded to the ground. Is there a way around this lagg?
