Changing thruster override via script breaks overrides completely for the grid.

Grant Shotwell shared this bug ago

Reported

I have been trying to change thruster overrides via script to force autopilot to move forward. However, I found that doing so breaks the ability to have thruster overrides completely. This means that if any thruster on that grid is set to some override, even by the player, the override will do nothing.

Here is the script, exported to SE from Visual Studio 2019 using the MDK:

Hello, Grant Shotwell,

thanks for sharing your issue with us. However, it seems I can not make it work on any of my ships that I tried it on. I suspect, it is not just a simple copy-paste script into in-game programmable block on any ship.

You think it is possible that you share whole ship in blueprint (and post it here in zip file or upload it to Steam Workshop), where the script is already put into PB (might or might not be already running) and the ship has all needed components?

That would be a great help! Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Thank you for taking the time to investigate this issue. Sorry I didn't put more details the first time.

I verified this works with no DLC blocks and no mods, at least on my end.

I worked on the script a bit more since I first posted, but the issue is still the same. The script was also run through the full minifier of MDK.

The script works by using (any) turret (named "Drone Turret") and putting the target into the autopilot (remote control called "Drone Remote Control") (with some maths to adjust for speed). The programmable block echoes its status. The script will also set forward thrusters to 100% override and backward thrusters to 0% override while the autopilot is set to only use gyroscopes. The bug is somewhat inconsistent in whether the slider shows the thrusters have an override, but what is consistent is that overrides will now be broken on the grid. The ship will not move forward despite the script setting the overrides. Even after turning off the turret, programmable block, and remote control, setting thruster overrides through the UI will do nothing. Making a new grid without running the program, the thruster override works on this grid.

The blueprint here should be all set up for that, so just put something the turret will target in front of it. I also added a blueprint that is just a small reactor (owned by space pirates) surrounded by heavy armor.

Hello, Grant Shotwell,

many thanks for providing the blueprints. With those, it was easy to reproduce the issue. Thus it was put into our internal system.

Kind Regards
