Programmable Block: GetArtificialGravity() ignores natural gravity

Vox Serico shared this bug ago

Reported

public Vector3D Sandbox.ModAPI.Ingame.IMyShipController.GetArtificialGravity()

Does not account for natural gravity, it always assumes full strength unlike GetTotalGravity() which does.

I have the same bug

I am not from Keen. You may be requested to clarify that question.

GetArtificialGravity() gets the artificial gravity

GetNaturalGravity() gets the natural gravity

Artificial gravity is reduced by the presence of natural gravity.

GetArtificialGravity shows a strength of 100% even on the surface of a planet where artificial gravity actually is (as indicated by the hud) at 0% strength; giving a completely inaccurate reading.

GetArtificialGravity() provides the unmodified artificial gravity vector. To obtain the reduced vector, you need to calculate it yourself. Off the top of my head it is:

Vector3D rawArtificialG = sc.GetArtificialGravity();
Vector3D actualArtificialG = rawArtificialG * (Math.Max(0, 1 - sc.GetNaturalGravity().Length() * 2 / rawArtificialG.Length());

Changing the result of GetArtificialGravity() at this point would break a lot of scripts out there that do this compensation in their own code. So I'd not recommend against doing it.
