Ai Recorder

Michael shared this bug 20 months ago
Won't Fix

Good day.


I tried to recreated the drone that automatically fly to and from 2 places to move cargo. I couldn't even get past the first part (having it connect to my station) because the AI recorder doesn't follow the waypoints well. It also doesn't face the same direction sometimes and other times it does??

i had the same probleme, the drone do not want fly backward for docking with is rear connector.


THE PROBLEM:

it is the "align with P. Gravity" option of the ai move block,

it make the drone to not follow the recorded orientation of the drone at each waypoint.

with the precise option you can make the drone turn towards the next waypoint.

but my drone need the to fly backward not forward,


THE SOLUTION:


you need to disable the option "align with P. Gravity" of the ai move block.

you can disable it on you first recorded waypoint to let your drone follow you recorded path perfectly.


KEEN need to make the option "align with P. Gravity" of the ai move block to not interfer with ai recording block waypoint.

Good day.

The problem of the Drone not getting close enough is resolved but sadly there is still a problem.

The Drone does not want to align the way it was facing but luckily one can add a waypoint before the descending waypoint to align it.

Thank you for your time and help

Hello, Michael,


we are aware of the align to P gravity causing issues with the yaw movement of ships when docking. Was this user having same problem as you? https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/28051-precision-mode-bug


Thank you for letting me know.

Good day.


This was also one problem I had when I was testing.

I could only use bottom connectors because of this alignment issue
