Yeah I’m named smithy3141, you can find it through the SW official discord

is there any way we can talk on dicsord? i want to try and understand how your code works (since its currently obfuscated and minimised), so i can make a derivative of it with multiple radars

None of my WS tws radars support multiple radars by default, but I know @shyzero is working on a heavily modified version of my “Advanced tws radar v2” which does pretty much everything you want (and more). I’m not sure when he’s going to release it though, just ask him on discord.

If it were one radar spinning 360 degrees it’d have to update every 360 degrees

If you want to add a rear facing radar and both spin for example 360 degrees clockwise you need to edit the script so it updates every 180 degrees

Im trying to use multiple radars. Im combining all three to have correct outputs (for ex. adding 0.5 to the rear facing radar), with the physics output in the middle of both. Yet, there are two overlapping targets, and it refreshes every turn, instead of every time it detects a target. Do you have any clue how to modify the system to make it work better?

amazing

set the mode to STT (so it only outputs gps for the most recently selected track), and then you'll probably have to swap channels 2 and 3 around. The tws outputs altitude over channel 2 and north/south coordinates over channel 3, but I think EHCS does it the other way around.

for that vector I gave y or 2 is the altitude btw

I just used the one from stormworks official discord. The message by Quale pinned in the Lua channel (m00,m01,m02, ...). So the following was my rotation matrix:
R = {
{m00,m01,m02},
{m10,m11,m12},
{m20,m21,m22}
}

The first column gives the right facing vector of the craft, the second gives an upwards pointing vector, third is a forwards vector.

So say I had a vector in local space:
V = {
{3},
{2},
{1}
}

Therefore the vectors position in global space is given by:
Vg = R * V

The first row would be calculated like so:
Vg[1] = {3*m00+2*m01+1*m02}

Second would be:
Vg[2] = {3*m10+2*m11+1*m12}

hi, what kind of rotation matrix did you use, I can’t make it so that the height Y is considered normal


function rotate(p)
local x,y,z=p[1],p[2],p[3]
local R={}
local c1,c2,c3=M.cos(dX),M.cos(dY),M.cos(dZ)
local s1,s2,s3=M.sin(dX),M.sin(dY),M.sin(dZ)
R[1]=c1*c2*x+(c1*s2*s3-s1*c3)*y+(c1*s2*c3+s1*s3)*z
R[2]=s1*c2*x+(s1*s2*s3+c1*c3)*y+(s1*s2*c3-c1*s3)*z
R[3]=-s2*x+c2*s3*y+c2*c3*z
return R
end

P[1]=M.sin(a)*M.cos(b)*tr[e]
P[2]=M.sin(b)*tr[e]
P[3]=M.cos(a)*M.cos(b)*tr[e]
P=rotate(P)

maybe this will help you understand me

through the microcontroller dropdown menu "X" and "Y", it won't update automatically sadly

how to change the monitor size slider?

Huge Thank You, I've played arround a bit and the potential is huge, but the sheer amount of data is more than Stormworks can handel without some tricks. Thanks for the idea and startingpoint

Here's the full code, I got confused and thought you knew some other guy asking a question: https://github.com/SMITHY3141/SW-Track-Assignment/blob/main/Advanced%20TWS%20Radar

If you'd like to know more I'd recommend reading into the track assignment problem and multiple target tracking ( mathworks.com/help/fusion/ug/introduction-to-assignment-methods-in-tracking-systems.html ). The method used in this algorithm is the Global Nearest Neighbour that's solved using the Hungarian Algorithm. For this method you have to wait for a full sweep, but I think other methods like JPDA can update tracks instantaneously ( www.cse.psu.edu/~rtc12/CSE598C/datassocPart2.pdf ). I don't know enough about JPDA to implement it atm though.

Q1: I'll send it to your friend on discord, it's in Lua with English comments

Q2: I've done it before with two radars in a hard-kill system, but keep in mind that the way the algorithm works is very restrictive. Tracks aren't updated instantaneously, the radar has to wait until it's completed a full sweep before it can update tracks. Also the algorithm assumes that for every existing track there's only one new detection. This is a problem when using multiple radars, because say there's a target that gets detected twice at different locations by two spinning radars. The algorithm's going to assume that this is two different targets, when in fact it's just one.

Got some questions since I'd like to try and adapt this to use data from several radars working together:

Q1: You mentioned earlier that you could share the code, so is it written in another language? and in that case what language would that be?

Q2: Do you think the code could support several inputs? assuming they all convert to the same coordinate system before your code.

Thanks in advance :)

Not by default, but you can pretty easily change it so that one or both of the variables accept a input.getBool() IB() instead. I've posted the full code here, you'll have to minify it once you're done though https://github.com/SMITHY3141/SW-Track-Assignment/blob/main/Advanced-Sonar-Tracker

Also about the tws sonar is there a way for me to increase map size while increasing sonar range

Actually all screens turned yellow i think cuz of the lua bug with this one cuz i reopened the game and it's all back to normal

Out of my expertise sorry. If it’s happening with other microcontrollers it definitely sounds like a graphics issue

like all monitors

uhh idk if it's amd issues but now everything is yellow and bugged for me

weird it turns yellow too, I only draw yellow once in the UI Lua script and it's just to draw one line showing the sweep angle.

huh can't seem to reproduce. Like just slewing the map upwards with the arrow keys?

At a high range like 44km when i try to move the map up the screen turns yellow

just uploaded it https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3339120710

Oh, it also picks up fishes ?? thats new to me

That was way easier than I thought it was going to be. I still need to add some more things though. There's an absolutely insane amount of fish that it picks up, so I might try and see if I can combine the fish detector to filter them out. Also need to change the UI a little bit.

I’ve never used the sonar tbh. It sounds interesting, I might look into it.

This controller only works when all the radar data is processed at the same time though. That’s why tracks are updated whenever the radar finishes one full sweep. So I’d need to figure out a way to do that with the sonar.

Question, would it be possible to make a sonar version of this, since they both output nearly identical data, tho the sonar can't sweep and have limited fov, so it'd be fixed

yup that fixed it, I changed the numbers on the wrong mc. Thanks for the help.

If you add more missiles make sure to change the missile ID in the Missile MC

are there any provisions that i'm missing to fire more than 4 missiles? After firing 4 missiles, the 5th and 6th both go towards the target that the previous 4 missiles attacked, regardless of where i send the 5th and 6th.

Just fixed it, also fixed another issue where the TWS wouldn't work if it was spinning. Should be much better on jets now, you don't have to be still anymore.

I'll try patch it now

Running into an error, "Tick_Failure, 3: attempt to index a nil value (global 'ad'). This seems to happen after i shoot a 2 missiles at a high altitude target, any ideas or is it operator error?

Got carried away and changed a bunch of things, added a single target track toggle option too.

Thanks ! Discord is Ceter on the official

You can probably get that working by deleting a few parts of the minified code. I'll send you a message on discord in a few minutes explaining.

Ok nvm, lemme rephrase this, each time i press on a target, i want it to constantly output that target's xyz (no need for trigger, and no id system, just a normal tracking radar for firing)

Also, if possible, a way to change the scale with an external button

I love it, however would it be possible to have one that locks an enemy constantly and send the xyz, without the id system, thinking bout making it work with ehcs, the issue is, the more i press space to fire, the more 'id' it makes

nice

There's a lot of things that need to be redone for this radar system, but I don't really have the motivation to keep working on it though. I'm hoping someone else will come along and completely blow this out of the water tbh.

If you wanted, I could release sections of my code for you or anyone else to improve upon. Just contact me on discord @smithy3141.

or to an antenna with the same frequency that the fox1/3 is receiving on

just hook the xyz into the hardpoint passthrough

have you thought about making a version thats ehcs compatible? so you can load any missle to be fired?

depending on the aerial platform i doubt this would be the best system for that, unless its a full size awacs
