[QoL] Radio Spectrometry

GPS Addition
I love this mod and quickly created a controllable ore detector with a camera so that my main carrier ship can scan for ores. Issue was trying to recall which asteroid I was looking at. I added this little bit of code below line 218 of the RadioSpectrometryTSS.cs file... it will give you the GPS coordinates of the asteroid you're looking at in the CustomData of the display panel.

Sandbox.ModAPI.IMyTextPanel txtPanel = m_ScriptBlock as Sandbox.ModAPI.IMyTextPanel;
if (txtPanel != null)
{
try
{
Vector3D position = scancomp.m_lastMap.PositionLeftBottomCorner;
var half = scancomp.m_lastMap.SizeInMetresHalf;
txtPanel.CustomData = "GPS:Asteroid:" + (position.X+half.X).ToString() + ":" +(position.Y+half.Y).ToString() + ":" +(position.Z+half.Z).ToString() + ":#FFFFFFFF:";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
txtPanel.CustomData = ex.Message;
}
}

Probably a cleaner way to implement but I didn't have a good IDE set up at this point.

Here are all the using statements as I think i had to add some of the vrage libs

using Sandbox.Game.GameSystems.TextSurfaceScripts;
using Sandbox.ModAPI;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using VRage.Game.GUI.TextPanel;
using VRage.Game.ModAPI.Ingame;
using VRage.ModAPI;
using VRageMath;
using IMyCubeBlock = VRage.Game.ModAPI.IMyCubeBlock;

YOU are amazing! edit: what if anything must be done with the "using' statements?

This is not something i'm going to do. Remember the client is doing the scan what this will do is cause a lot of network updates when there are multiple clients in the same ship.

What would be a better solution would be a chat command that gives you the gps of whatever is in your crosshair.

this is likely to become the killer function! very nice, in the same time i was thinking about something similar more in-line whit the radio-spectrometer concept/design:
when scanning just under the "scanning" line in the lcd an estimation distance value, only for voxels, if possible

There's a tool for Visual Studio 2022: https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/releases
Get the .vsx in the "Assets" section.
