IMyCameraBlock Raycast doesn't see asteroids?

Ø Ø shared this bug 18 months ago
Won't Fix

Hi,

I've written a script that seeks to detect the presence of an asteroid in front of my ship.

Sometimes, it accurately reports MyDetectedEntityInfo about the asteroid.

Other times, the raycast detects nothing, even though I'm raycasting at a distance well beyond the asteroid.

Even though I can see the asteroid on my screen, the asteroid is a ghost to the camera. The asteroid will sometimes appear to the camera if I get very close, or if I wait nearby for a while.

The inconsistency in cameras detecting asteroids makes it impossible to script a safe cruise control for my ship.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Brandon

Hello, Brandon,

thanks for letting us know.

You think it would be possible to share me the save world where the issue can be observed, please?

Make sure there are no mods, and the affected grid is already having the script active. You might want to share me the code itself, if it would not work in the save.

Also if you can provide exact steps to reproduce and/or video showing this issue, so I know what to do in the save to trigger this issue, that would be great!

You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your saves.

Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.

Thank you for understanding.

Kind Regards
