Author Topic: Autopilot?  (Read 1788 times)

So I was thinking, while flying the long distance from Earth to Mars, if its possible to have an autopilot? Not necessarily it flys where you want it to, but just like, auto-throttle kinda thing.

Its very possible. Infact i was making something similar. Just use Vehicle Events's SetVelocity on the vehicle. Im not sure about turning though. Maybe a event "Add/SetRotation > [Yaw] [Pitch] [Roll]"? However you can just move sideways with SetVelocity.

i think he ment while he's the pilot
try moveforward(1); in the console
then press the forward key to stop it

Actually, I think there should be a binded key, showing an unlimited map. It should be compatible with compass mod, so you mark a spot, and it shows on the map. Meanwhile, you choose a spot on the map, and the vehicle should drive there. I think that would be best, no events.

But what if there are obstacles? Would it avoid them, or would you plan it out beforehand?

Anywho, sounds like a neat idea.

And don't you have to go to that place to Compass it anyways. And what about Height and whatnot, you could be ten feet off or a trillion in a half feet off.
