Hi, on testing the script, I believe the script will not work with more than one connector on the ship. This is the world I was testing http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1334205871

(Great script though, :D )

Thanks :) I couldn't seem to download the world file, it says it doesn't exist (might be set to private only). If what you mean is it won't work when there's multiple connectors with [Dock] in the name on a docking ship, then I can see there could be an issue there as my script won't know which one to use. I'll see what I can do.

There is a fix for that I can make however it might take a day. If you can get that shared file working, that'd be great. Thanks for telling me :)

Oh, I made it hidden thinking the link would work. Will open up. :) And no rush!

Hmm that's odd, I assume you have a connector on the back of the ship as well as the bottom considering the design but it seems to have been lost in the save. might have been caused by interaction with one of your mods maybe? either way, I think I understand your problem. As a temporary fix you can use two programming blocks and change the connector tag (top of the script) to something different for the second program, and add that different tag to your back connector. but two programming blocks isn't a great fix I know :P

@spug No problem, thanks for the workaround idea. You may want to double check it wasn't just me being stupid though xD

@spug I was at fault. Firstly I'd named the wrong connector, secondly I hadn't updated the script to use arguments. Many thanks.

No problem, happy to hear you've sorted it :)

Hi i'm trying to use this script but all of my ships just start to dock then stop and start to wobble i've installed the script just like in the video i've also tried to tweak the changeable settings but i've gotten the same results. Am I doing something wrong? If it helps i'm testing on a vanilla ship like the one in your video to show how to set it up. Thank you and sorry for bothering you.

I'm having the same problem as Akurei. The drone goes to dock and then does the hover/bobbing thing. I tried your fix in the troubleshooting post, but it didn't help. It seems I get one good dock and then every time after that I use the script it just hovers/bobs. I love this script and want to use it so bad. Please help and thanks for any help on the matter.

I'd like to try and debug this issue, since a fix I made I thought this would never happen again :P if you're using the optional script it likely means the setup might be wrong somewhere, eg your ships aren't uniquely named or connectors not uniquely named. But if it's not that, I'd be interested to know which ships you're using so I could try and recreate the issue then release an update

Herox, Akurei - also, what atmospheric level are you using them in?
Akurei Kiabutsu Mar 24, 2018 @ 5:32am 
I am doing this in space so zero atmosphere. I as of this time am not yet using the optional script until i master this script

Any chance you could upload the ship/scenario so I could take a look? I could add you as a friend on steam if it makes it easier.
Akurei Kiabutsu Mar 24, 2018 @ 6:03am 
I would if i knew how. i am trying to troubleshoot at the moment in a world with no mods as mine has quite a few mods in it although most of those mods are just adding blocks
