ive spent 2 days figuring out that you dont need to do that much big math if you do it using a lot of triangles in weird ways

How are you calculating distance with the antennas?

tdel 20 Dec, 2019 @ 1:19pm

I can't seem to load this in. Stormworks claims it's too big. When I spawn it in with a mission it looks like maybe one of the "test target" antennas escaped out of bounds?

I'm not that good at lua, so I'll just make my ship bigger.

You can move the antennas but then you have to update their relative positions inside the script:

[code]xa = -1
xb = 1
xc = 0
ya = 0
yb = 0
yc = -1[/code]

These coordinates are in meters, relative to the antenna in the middle.

Can I move one of the antenna, because my boat's not quite that wide.

He might be a programmer in real life :O

how did you get soo good with logic?

Tajin [author] 20 May, 2019 @ 12:43pm

Certainly but then you can only track objects that actually transmit their gps-coordinates.
This however can track any radio signal.

Aljon 20 May, 2019 @ 9:31am

hmmm where can I use this. cant I just like send gps to the antenna so it will show on screen map

Cool, this is basically an ESM system.

Tajin [author] 17 May, 2019 @ 2:28am

@ghettodexter 5x3 is now also supported

Thijnmens 16 May, 2019 @ 10:59pm

You should make youtube tutorial video's

Tajin [author] 16 May, 2019 @ 1:41pm

If you're simply transmitting the GPS, why would you need math for that?

Anyway for general lua questions you're better off in the discord (or forum).

ghettodexter 16 May, 2019 @ 10:38am

Is there a way to just use radio transmitter and GPS to transmit exact location to be updated in the LUA script? I can figure out the hardware side... not the math

Tajin [author] 16 May, 2019 @ 9:40am

should work for the most part if you make the list a bit more compact
