GPS Ingame Scripting API

The mod is updated and a new version for the example script is available . The mod will delete the section used for the interface, so it's best to test it first and see if it works as you expect

That would be possible, but then you could only use the ini format and not json for example. I use the custom data field as interface between script and mod. So far it worked like this, but since multiple scripts can be executed from one block, there are probably problems here (the mod itself is a bit older, but still works). I will have a look at this in the near future

Hi Ikarus, is there any way to have other content inside the PB's CustomData other than the lines required by your script? Maybe you can add an ini parser on the mod side to only use a section marked [gpsapi]?

Yes this is possible. This mod allows scripts to create GPS markers. The event controller can execute a script in a programmable block and thereby create a GPS marker.
A simple script that creates a new marker every time it is executed could look like this:


[code]
private readonly GPSInterfaceV2 gps;

public Program()
{
gps = new GPSInterfaceV2(Me);
}

void Main()
{
gps.Update();
gps.AddGps("Test", Me.GetPosition());
}

// Here you have to paste the code from https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559461462 from the "GPSInterfaceV2 - Source" section

[/code]


If you don't want to create a new marker every time, but just move the marker, you have to extend the script

Scripting noob here. Can I use this to let the new event controller, triggered by altitude, create a new gps coordinate? If yes, how?

Hello.
I very big potential in this script.
It would be great to have gps waypoint, attachet to connector on ship(some distance of the fornt of it) to make it fully operational with remote control.

I updated the mod and moved the code that is responsible for the GPS markers to the server. This allows multiplayer and also moving GPS markers.
There is now also a function to get all GPS positions created by this block.
If it is not too much effort to adjust the code I recommend to use the new GPSInterfaceV2 in ingame scripts.

That's would be awesome... Looking forward.
Best regards.

Unfortunately no.

I made this mod over 3 years ago. At that time it was meant as a proof of concept to give ingame scripts the possibilities of mods, so it is kept relatively simple. (No persistence, no multiplayer)

I will have another look at the mod, maybe it's time to improve it a bit and add new features. (Like for example methods to get all GPS positions, or to change them)

Heya, is there is a way to Edit GPS not to always clear and add?
And someway to get coords from existing gps?
