Does not appear to be functional (post Contact update).

Can this work with Ray casting so you can have a lock then shoot a missile at it or just raycasting

Imgur guide is dead, and the youtube video is marked as private so no one can view it.

if someone can figure out how to make this work let me know

so far, i cant get this to work. however, there is a radar script that i found works, though it is limited to only sensor range. its called "Graphical 3D Radar Script"

the "Video Guide by Mirrowel" is set to private, and cant be seen threw SE Steam workshop

it's not working here

The code isn't working

NOTE FOR ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS MOD:

This script can't work and never will work again, so there's no need for this author to return. Keen removed the API function it relies on over a year ago (it was OP and shouldn't have even been accessible anyway). Try other authors who are using camera blocks and radar mods posted within the past year.

Did everything it told me to do, Doesn't work.

COme back AlEx!!!

Unfortunate this is abandoned. Could use a radar display like this.

Please fix!!

Broken in 1.182.x, several syntax errors :-(

Same problem as geniusface :/

Good work, but in 2017 the lcd RADAR STATS = RADAR DISPLAY but it was fantastic.

Hi there! Have you had a chance to fix this yet? :)

I keep popping in hoping the script has updated, but looks like I am back to the Mk 1 Eyeball for good

It does not work any more.

it wouldnt work, said i had to compile
i compiled, came up with this

It does not work, Beg Red Box. Keen changed things around for the beta launch, and a lot of old scripting methods (and scripts) do not work. It is too bad, really.

trying to set this sexy beast up in the current beta/stable branch, giving me an error when i load the script the error is pretty big so i wont paste the full read out here but

most of it involves errors with MyDetectedEntityInfo and GetPosition.
really hope this can be fixed and keen didnt kill this intentionally.

it dont work m8

I am currently working on a craft that'll be posted into the workshop eventually, and I am wondering, can I include this script into the design? And if so, how would you prefer me to credit you?

also can this script export the data it retrieves from sensors IE; use antenna cumunication or similer script to see radar result from a rover on display back at base

can this run with only sensors scanning I think it would feel more immersive if you could blind a ship/rover by damaging it's radar dish/dome

Fingers crossed you do i enjoy your script on my ships XD

Yeah i assume all my radar scripts are completely broken with the new changes, and i knew this would happen. I haven't had the time to rebuild it yet, but i want to, because the new api looks fun.

Now its super broken in Dev

Well, that's a great idea!
I wonder why I didn't think of that, it definitely should be possible, ore detectors may have a similar API to get x,y,z position of an ore.

I'm curious - would there be a way to detect ore using this, or a similar script?

alex-thatradarguy also makes a 3D Radar script resembling the ship's scanner in the Elite Dangerous game. You can use modded sensors to get higher range.

I was hoping to add radar to one of my spaceships, but seeing as sensors only work out to 50 meters and remote control blocks only detect things on their own horizontal plane, I'd have to say this script is illsuited for my needs.

i have follow your instruction but i have "object reference is not instance of a object" (i have 4 sensors)

can you guys help me it says assembly not found ?

assembly not found ???????

When loading the world I have to manually restart timer block and radar. Why is this? No other programs are stopping?

Working Again

It wasnt an exploit.

The IMyEntity just need to be corrected with the Vrage Equivelent version.

Correct. The IMyEntity has been blocked due to exploits caused by its use. Unfortunate, I know. :( But there may be workarounds.

recent update broke it...

Any possibility support for a remote control on a rotor could be added? 3 remotes pointing diffrent directions does wonders for that 2D scan issue but, one on a rotor could elminate it entirely. :)

Hunh. I was going to ask if GPS points could be added but you appear to be about 7 steps ahead of me. Absolutely awesome script.

@LukeStrike - That is correct. At least, until the mod API adds this functionality. The good news, is that, once it does, in theory, the mod will kick in automatically, once you add it to a world.

@The Legacy: I see ... That means that without changing your FontData-0.dds into your installation folder, you have only access to few basic colors (green, blue, red, yellow, white and 4 grays). Your new version is pretty cool (I wanted to use dark blue) but the problem is that it will work only for yourself but not in multiplayer if I'm not wrong ? (meaning that other player will see your extra colors in gray variants f.e.)

Hey @Alex-thatradarguy, I was wondering, is there any way to change how the radar works? Namely, I was thinking about the twin radar screens from the game X-Wing, where one shows all targets in front, and the second for targets in behind. I was thinking your radar may be compatible for such a scenario. I'd be interested in hearing more. :)

Here's a video from a streamer that demonstrates the radar in action: https://youtu.be/IS99cqlpDJE?t=2m25s

Hi there! I created a simple mod that could have big ramifications for your script, as your mod uses the XBox text for use as pixels. Hope this is useful for you and your fans!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724100006

@LukeStrike - Look at Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Fonts\white_shadow\FontData.xml, and compare it to FontData-0.dds. The text code (ie. \uE002) points to an entry on the XML file, which then uses the entry's co-ordinates to paste a copy of the icon from the image.

The ones he and other scripters have been using, are based on XBox icons on the .dds file. What I linked above is my attempt at creating a series of actual pixels for scripts such as this, by switching out the old icons for the new ones. In theory, I could edit the FontData.xml file to add even more entries, but I felt it's better to limit the mods to the one file for the time being.

@alex-thatradarguy: Hello
How did you find the strange values for the colors like this:

const char blue = '\uE002';

Because I would like to customize my own colors ... Is it possible from the RGBA values ?

It works, however when it detects another grid the display freezes, there is no error message

@GameGunner5 Maybe. I might be able to make my scripts work on both stable and dev. In the meantime try this for dev branch. http://pastebin.com/raw/GqbVEjMd
