SAMv2 - Sam's Autopilot Manager version 2

Description
What
  • Have your ship autonomously and automatically fly between any multiple Connectors in the Star System, without having to worry about recording waypoints.
  • Turn your ships into autonomous navigation vessels. Without a need for a cockpit, just tell it where you want to go, and it goes, with or without you as a passenger.
  • Automate cargo runs with ease. In the plannet and in Between planets.
  • Worried about mountains and collisions? Worried about your Remote Controller getting stuck? Don't worry anymore.

Usage
The documentation become too big so I added a guide here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1947156145

When something does not work
  • Do you own all blocks in the grid? You should.
  • Does your ship have enough power/hydrogen? It must.
  • Does your ship have enough Thrust power in every direction? Including UP. It must.
  • Do your Antennas have enough range to cover each other and are they enabled to broadcast? They should.
  • Are all your blocks in the same construct? (adjacent to rotors or pistons but not connectors);
Things are still wrong? I suck at coding. Leave a comment with a link to the game file, perhaps I can help.

Donations
I have a day job. Please buy food and donate it to your local homeless shelters instead.

Contributions
Regarding contributions. I have made the code available in GitHub:
https://github.com/sugardose/SpaceEngineers/blob/master/SamsAutopilotManager2.cs

I will periodically review submissions and update the script with those submissions.

Discord and Server
I can be found on this discord and related server where I usually play and test SAM: https://discord.gg/JgAt6zBQBm

the version you download here is non-maintained and is VERY old.

Use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892105352 instead

lot of issue, cannot let it run alone

you mean "when I asked an automated pilot to fly my ship and it uses thrusters in all directions to keep it in line during flight?" - nope..... This script (and I presume you mean vs. the very old original SAM script - well, really any autopilot is likely true...) will fly the ship and use thrust to keep it as steady as possible... (i.e., I don't see any "problem" to "fix" here!)

Does this script fix the problem with autopilot rapidly flickering thrusters in all directions even when at max speed?

Patrol mode will use either gravity or "dock" direction to "orbit" at a set distance from the "dock". If in gravity then it goes to set altitude then flies at set horizontal distance from "dock". If in space the "patrol drone" "dock" -> station/ship "dock" will be how it decides what is "down" for orbit. This makes the ability to have a connector on back, top, side, bottom, and even front of drone available. The altitude is "above" "dock" instead of ground.

What about a patrol mode or a shuttle mode?
Shuttle mode will be this but have several stations or ships that will have a PB, antenna/beacon, and a "call" button. If your at a station/ship and hit the "call" button then it sends a command in the script that then goes to the "shuttle" and the shuttle then adds your "dock" (connector) to its list and starts navigation. If other connectors are already on the list then it goes to them first and as it leaves each dock it will remove it from the list. It will only leave after set time (adjustable). Inside the shuttle you would be able to "scroll" to select your destination and it will be added to the end of the list.

Not sure what/how that is, but the URL is really screwed up on that link!

It has TWO "http" parts - which is not right....

copy/paste JUST the https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892105352 part into a browser - it will work fine.

@TechCoder, when I hit your link steam says:

No problem - it happens to us all (and not just because we're old - but I've got plenty of that to go around...! :P - quite often you rebuild after a slight 'ding' and forget to tag the stuff for SAM again - got lots of those T-shirts myself.

Glad you found it so quick.

I cant believe it I didnt tag the front camera, tagged everything else. I also cant believe I didnt see that. Sucks to get old....lol. Thanks so much. I will get a link to your discord soon, got to run at the moment. Again Thanks.
