Doomsday Missile Script v1 DebugAPI

Description
Doomsday Missile script DebugAPI version

Introduction
This script builds upon the standard version of the Doomsday Missile Script, by adding visual effects from DebugAPI mod. If you want to use it, please make sure you have this awesome mod installed in your world:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654858862&searchtext=debugapi

Also check out a tutorial on how to build a missile fit for this script and an example one:

Script commands
This script currently supports two commands for controlling the missile:
  • "LAUNCH" or "launch" – Initiates the missile launch sequence. This command disconnects all connectors and merge blocks with the designated name tags specified in the script settings, allowing the missile to begin its flight.
  • <GPS from clipboard> – Simply pasting GPS coordinates from the game's gps tab will set them as the missile's GPS target. The script will automatically store the provided location and use it for navigation.


Script settings
WARNING! Modifying settings mid-flight will cause the script to reload and the missile to crash
Pre-Navigation Settings
These settings come into play in the first two stages of missile's lifetime:
  • freeFallTime [s] – Time before thrusters and gyroscopes are activated. Usefull for gravity assisted missile deployment.
  • noGuidanceFlightTime [s] – Time before missile activates it's guidance mode. In this stage the missile will fly straight ahead.
Navigation Modes
  • 0 - GlidingUntilTargetDetected – The missile tries to maintain forward flight until a target with set characteristics is detected.
  • 1 - BeamRiding – Follows a beam designated by the player until a target with set characteristics is detected.
  • 2 - GPSUnlessTargetDetected – Moves toward a GPS coordinate but switches to tracking if a with set characteristicst is detected.
  • 3 - AbsoluteGPS – Moves and bombards a set GPS coordinate.
Navigation Settings
  • gpsX, gpsY, gpsZ – Target GPS coordinates. Can be set manually or as an argument. With the latter method it can be done mid-flight.
  • beamBlockCustomDataTag – Tag for the block controlling the beam in BeamRiding mode. The specified tag must also be placed in the Custom Data field of the block that should emit the guidance beam.
Target Characteristics
missileTargetType – Defines the type of object the missile will engage:
  • 0 – Large Grid
  • 1 – Small Grid
  • 2 – Planet
  • 3 – Asteroid
  • 4 – Floating Object
  • 5 – Any
missileTargetRelationship – Defines the target’s relationship to the missile owner:
  • 0 – Enemies (Note - from initial testing, grids transfered to space pirates apparently aren't recognized as enemies)
  • 1 – No Ownership
  • 2 – Neutral
  • 3 – Owner
  • 4 – Faction Share
  • 5 – Friends
  • 6 – Any
World Settings
  • maxSmallGridSpeed [m/s] – Maximum speed for small grids in world settings. In vanilla SE it's always 100m/s. Note that I haven't yet tested how the missile performs above 100m/s (but should be fine!).
Missile Build Settings
  • missileDockingMergesNameTag – Tag for docking merge blocks.
    - This tag must be included in the name of the merge blocks that connect the missile to the launcher.
  • missileDockingConnectorsNameTag – Tag for docking connectors.
    - This tag must be included in the name of the connectors that secure the missile to the launcher.
  • missileDockingConnectorsCount – Number of connectors the missile uses for connecting to the launcher.
Important: If multiple missiles exist on the same grid, each must have unique docking tags. This allows the script to correctly differentiate between them and prevent misidentification during launch.
Flight Settings
  • sideMomentumCorrection, downMomentumCorrection, upMomentumCorrection – Lateral, downward, and upward motion correction. Smaller values will result in a smoother flight trajectory, but larger ones make the missile more accurate and responsive.
  • turnSpeedModifier – Rotation speed modifier, that impacts the strength gyroscopes operate with. Values too large will make the missile unstable.
  • fuelSavingMultiplier – Fuel efficiency multiplier. Divides fuel consumption by set ammount. Only activates once the missile is at maximum speed and never drops the missile bellow minimum required consumption.
Collision Avoidance
  • obstacleEvasionStrength – Determines how strongly the missile responds to detected obstacles. Higher values increase the missile's repulsion from obstacles.
  • maxAvoidanceAngle [degrees] – The maximum angle by which the missile can deviate from its course to avoid obstacles.

Radar Settings
  • radarDistance [m] – The maximum range at which the radar scans for targets.
  • radarConeAngle [degrees] – The field of view for radar scans, determining the scanning angle.
  • radarResolution [m] – Target scan grid resolution. If the current resolution is lower than the set value, the script will slightly shift the scan grid with each scan. Over time, this ensures that the entire area is covered at the desired resolution.
  • trackingOvershootFactor – Extends radar scans beyond the target to compensate for movement. For example, with a factor of 1.1 and a target 3 km away, the radar scans up to 3.3 km in that direction.
  • trackingAreaModifier – Multiplier for the tracking area size. At "1," the tracking area matches the target's dimensions. Higher values increase the scan area to account for potential target movement.
Bombardment Settings
  • minimumBombardmentAngle [degrees] – The minimum angle the missile must reach before releasing its bombs. Higher values improve accuracy but may delay release. Only applies to gravity bombardments.
  • acceptableInaccuracyModifier – Adjusts missile accuracy. At "1," the missile is precise but may delay payload release. Higher values reduce accuracy but trigger an earlier drop.
  • proximityToStartBombardment [m] – The distance from the target at which the missile switches to bombardment mode. In this mode, it consumes fuel at maximum rate. Ideally, this should be at least 2 km away from the target.
  • overshootCorrection [m] – A correction factor for gravity bombardments. Moves the target closer to the missile to counteract common overshooting issues.
  • carpetBombingLength [m] – Defines the length of the bombing strip during a carpet bombing run. Only applies to gravity bombardments.
  • deadManSwitchTime [s] – Time before released bomblets self-destruct.
  • distanceFromTargetToArm [m] – Distance from the target at which bomblets arm. Setting this to 0 causes each warhead to arm on impact, but premature detonations may destroy nearby bomblets before they activate.
  • detonationTimeDelay [s] – Adds a randomized delay to warhead detonation after reaching the target. A value of 5 will assign each warhead a detonation time between 0-5 seconds, reducing strain on the game’s physics engine.

Kototop_CMB if you wish to know how to use this script, I think it's best to subscribe and study the example launcher I provided: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450877073 . Also make sure to check out my tutorial on how to build a missile fit for this script, so you can build your own launcher based on the example above: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450877227

Hey Kototop_CMB, you're right it's a bit of a mishap on my side. Truth be told I ran into the description character limit and couln't properly explain every nuance of the script. If you wish to know what the script does in general, I suggest watching the video above the description, it's self explanatory :D. Here's a brief summary of this specific 'DebugAPI' script:
This script builds upon my vanilla Doomsday missile script by adding display of missile's logic through the use of DebugAPI mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654858862&searchtext=debugapi) which has to be installed for the script to work. This script is used just like the original one, with exception of having additional DebugAPI settings at the bottom of regular settings. There you can modify which logical aspects are to be displayed, the thickness of drawn items and their color (You can find a list of colors here: https://learn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/dotnet/api/system.drawing.color?view=net-8.0) .

why there nothing in description about what it does?

A good work must be reward. :steamthumbsup:

Thanks a lot Nostrum! Glad you like it :)

Just an incredible work, you can be sure that I will add it on my vehicule. Congratulation.
