[MOD 0.14 - 0.17] Scanning rocket with radars

[ZwerOxotnik]

Description
Scans surface after launching a rocket with radars. The radius increases if you launch a rocket with more than 20 radars.
You can change the radius in the mod settings.

May be amount or radars makes scanning radius somehow? Amount = radius or with squares calculated.

May be amount or radars makes scanning radius somehow? Amount = radius or with squares calculated.

Selecting a scan location after launch or before launch. (Most likely a separate mod)

But I can't do it fast.

You can just get amount of radars and use it as radius.

Another example for satellite map opening you can find here:

code

Code: Select all

function(event)
    local rocket = event.rocket
    local force = rocket.force
    local count = rocket.get_item_count("radar")
    if count > 20 then
        local radius = settings.global["radius-scan-rocket-with-radars"].value * count
        force.chart(rocket.surface, {{rocket.position.x - radius,rocket.position.y - radius}, {rocket.position.x + radius, rocket.position.y + radius}})
    elseif count > 0 then
        local radius = settings.global["radius-scan-rocket-with-radars"].value * 19
        force.chart(rocket.surface, {{rocket.position.x - radius,rocket.position.y - radius}, {rocket.position.x + radius, rocket.position.y + radius}})
    end
end)

    elseif count > 0 then
        local radius = settings.global["radius-scan-rocket-with-radars"].value * 19

Normally radar scans 7x7=49 chunks. It looks like that it has scan radius = 3.5. If this radar is two times powerful then it covers 98 (or 100) chunks, then the radius must be 5.

So:

Code: Select all

if count > 1 then
  local area_size = settings.global["radius-scan-rocket-with-radars"].value * 49
  local radius = area_size^0.5
  force.chart(rocket.surface, {{rocket.position.x - radius,rocket.position.y - radius}, {rocket.position.x + radius, rocket.position.y + radius}})
end
