WCCS - Nav [OBSOLETE]

OBSOLETE. Use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2073024104
and my "new" modular system

NAV Autopilot

Autopilot in-game script that will fully steer and fly your ship
from point A to point B

Coordinates and other instructions are easily given without editing code.

Supports limiting top ship speed.


Ship requirements

This is a sub-module of the Wico Craft Control system.

It requires the Wico Craft Control main (WCCM) script to be running.

To support sub-modules (like this one) WCCM requires a timer with [WCCS] and a text panel with "Wico Craft Save" in it. Optionally, a timer with [WCCT] in the name can be used to improve responsiveness when modes change.

• Named block, name starting with "NAV:" followed by instructions
  See below for instruction list
  
  
• instructions passed as arguments to the script
  See below for instruction list

Navigation instructions

Multiple instructions can be given in a sequence, separated by semi-colon
or new line. A space is required between the instruction letter and any
parameters you pass to it.

NOTE: currently only one waypoint command can be given; patrols are not (yet) supporte)

C <text>
Comment, to help label your instructions.
Has no effect on the program. Does not count towards instruction limit.

D <distance>
Sets the arrival distance (how close to get to the destination), in meters,
for the next waypoint.
Distance can be a single number, which the ship will try to reach

Distance is measured from the chosen Ship Orientation Block, so if that block is in
the back of your ship, you'll need to increase the arrival distance by at
least the length of your ship (in meters, not blocks).

Default value is 50m.


S <number>
Sets the maximum ship speed, in meters. If set to 0, no limit is enforced.

Default value is 0.

W <coordinates>
Adds a waypoint, at the specified coordinates. Coordinates are a set of
three numbers, separated by commas (i.e. 123,456,-78) or colons
(i.e. 123:456:-78). The last waypoint given (or only waypoint, if only
one given) is the final destination.

GPS Formatted coordinates are also suppoted

O <coordinates>
Orients the FRONT of the ship towards the coordinates.


EXAMPLE:

You can add comments, and you can even set a different speed or distance for
each waypoint:

NAV: C This is a test;S 200;D 500;W 100,200,300


Commands can be issued through Programmable Block arguments


Instruction List:
D Distance D min
C Comment C [text]
O Orient O [x,y,z|x;y;z]
W Waypoint W [x,y,z|x;y;z]


The navigation will use a sensor for collision detection. The sensor must have [WICO] in the name or customdata.
For now, the sensor must be front and up facing.


The navigation will use camera raycast for collision detection. All cameras will automaticlly be used.

Mainly, cameras on the front (direction of travel) are used. However, when the ship is 'inside' an asteroid, it will pathfind to find an exit; it uses cameras on all sides to do this.
