Compass heading config signal

Open adamzl opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

To get around the 10,000 search unit radius for hunting a new configuration signal could be added to move in a compass direction (0-360 degrees). The hunting radius should always take precedence. This could help UPS issues a little too by allowing much smaller search radii.

I'd love to add some simple UI elements for things like a compass direction to kind of "hint" where the robots should be attacking/moving next. If no enemies detected in radius, move X distance in the direction of the currently set compass setting, and re-evaluate targets when they get there.

That sounds way complicated, I had thought a signal value in the config machine could be a compass heading (0-360 degrees), the same machine where you set squad size and hunt radius.

i'd like to move all of the Droid Settings Module stuff into a drop-down UI menu like some of the other mods have, it's less work to expand and add more features - right now for each "option" in the settings module I need to make icons, and add heaps of code anyway (would be similar amounts in the UI for checking legal values etc).

i can remove the entire droid settings module entity and the things that go along with entities.. and the warning message about having more than 1 etc.
