Automated Gravity Cannon

Automated GraviCannon

This gravity cannon is one of practicle implementations of Innoble's space scanner script.

Cannon is capable to locate and destroy moving ships in it's scanner range which is set to 15km by default (this value is ajustable). Of course, I mean only linear motion with constant velocity.

How to use it:
Put come iron ingots or steel plates in cargo container of cannon.
Press "1" to run script in atodetect/autodestroy mode. Cannon will hunt for ships in 15km range.
Press "2" to stop script. Sometimes you need to press "2" multiple times.

You can run radar in "sectoral scan" mode. It will detect ships only in limited sector in front of cannon in this mode.
It's useful for targetting specified ship.

Press "4" to select 1st sector point, then move crosshair to set sector width and press "4" again.
After sector width is set, crosshair your target ship and press "5" to run radar in "sectoral scan mode".
Cannon will calculate intercept course and launch projectiles, using its gravity generators.

Ok, now a few words about variables in the beginning off cannon script.



Here is a description of cannon settings

double PROJECTILE_VELOCITY=131; // Projectile velocity
double kP = 3; // ========================
double kI = 0.0001; // PID controller settings
double kD = 80; // ========================
double Precision = 3; // Desired precision (3 means 3m error in 10km range, i don't recommend to set this var to lower values)
int BurstTime = 1500; // It's a "burst length"
int FireMode = 2; // 0 - burst, 1 - slug, 2 - buckshot (gauss)
float GaussSpread=0.1f; // Gauss shot spread multiplier
float JunkFilter = 15; // Minimum target radius. If object is of smaller size, it won't get shot.


Please, note: FireMode var sets different fire mods, the most advanced of which is the 2nd mode. It creates something like a buckshot with spread bound to with target size and distance to interception point.

Ok, that is the brief description. Try to use this BP and let me know, if you have any questions.
