Is there anything specific I need to do to get the LCD on a subgrid to work? I have a camera on a ball turret mount that acts as my Ore/Asteroid Scanner using the Radio Spectrography Mod and Target Designator for S.C.A.M. based drones. Looking through the current turret camera I have two transparent LCDs to each side to allow viewing Spectrograph data, and ideally the Astonomicon Display as well but it just remains blank. If I locate the script on the turret it does not see the control seat, but the display seems to work.

where is the data stored? So I can transfer the database between grids (my scout and my miner)

Bearcat. All the coords sends thought the ClipBoard. Yes, ? shows all the objects.

Loving this script so far!
Stumbled on a feature I'm not sure was covered, but when you search your asteroids, opening the Text field of the LCD automatically copies it to your gps. So just search "?" for all asteroids and they'll all populate your GPS coords.

COSTAS Milo. There is no way to get this information using the camera :steamsad:

Thanks for this script.

Hm how ore detector works....Hmmm ?

Thank you for the reply. I see now how to use the clipboard and +GPS. Hopefully one day keen peels back enough layers to make that process into a single action!

Rofl, there is no way to send coords automatically. Only clipboard method.
+GPS will add any user's point to base (manually). It's showed on a video.

Is there a way to automatically push the info gained by the scan into an in game GPS? Also, what exactly does the +GPS command do? Maybe i am not understanding it...
Cruel Sun  [author] Jan 3, 2022 @ 12:58am 
I don't know how to do this. The script works well on the server, so I don't even know what it will be needed for.
