Satellite script for detected ores

[RedneckPilgrim]

I was wandering if there was a script for making satellites, changing the satellite's name to include the detected ores on that satellite, then sending the gps and the name of the ship to an LCD? I was working on creating a script like that, and I got it to change the ship's name and send the gps coordinate to a "master receiver lcd" but the problem is the game appears to not allow the ore detector to display information on an lcd or anywhere other than the hud. Am I doing something wrong? Trying to not use mods, just scripts.

In the vanilla game this is not possible because the you can't ask the ore detector what it detected. Just like you can't get detected ship info from an antenna.

There are mods for ore spectrometry but that's a different topic for right now.

For vanilla I think theme would be : Survey ship remote controla to near an asteroid and changes its name or something to be "Arrived". You remote control into that ship. Check the ship ore detector. Have a script where you can select the ore type found and have that script send back its GPS and the ore type to you and that gets stored in a database for "master receiver lcd".

Edit Addition : You are at your base, use a camera with raycast enabled and look at an asteroid. Raycast gets the asteroid position as an XYZ gps. Trim that back by 200m or so, give that to the survey ship as remote control destination so survey ship goes close to asteroid without colliding with it.

Edit for extra credit : From the survey ship and getting the hud ore deposit, use another camera raycast and algebra to pinpoint the exact location of the ore, so you can then send a mining ship at that coordinate.
