Block Naming Conventions?

After experimenting and realizing a script I've written fails to account for having more than one copy of the mechanism it handles on the same grid, I am starting to look into useful naming conventions to bypass that. This seems to be a problem fundamental enough that you would need a useful reusable solution and a standard set of methods to handle it.

I imagine that it's a rather common one too, and that I am far from the first in-game programmer to encounter it. What useful naming...

Does the turret have a list of targets or at least access to the name of the currently targeted ship/station or part of that ship it's attacking?
--- Automerge ---
or is there a bool to know when the turret has a valid target?

Hi, i don't know if its me or if it is a known problem, but here is what im facing of:

i have a programmable block in a station with a timer, this timer serves as usually, meaning just let the programmable block to run, with a trigger at every 1 seconds. I have a small ship with a programmable block and a timer on it too, this timer just serve as a trigger too, like the one on my station.

i'm trying to make an auto connect for my ship, meaning that i just push a button on the small ship...

INI data processing style

As part of my OS script I already have the needed classes to emulate files in the Storage variable of a PB.
I've reached to the conclusion that some parts of the data I want to store should be in a form that remind INI files, for easier retrieval later on.
That form is a section held in the [] brackets followed by key/value pairs.
Its easy enough to break and build key/value pair strings, but my problem now is how to build the string with the section and how to break it for processing.

Hello people, I have a small problem that I cannot solve, if you have the time to help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Right, first off, I'm not an experienced scripter. I mostly edit scripts made by others or create very simple ones for myself (read; 5 lines :p).
So I would like some help with a script that i am copying off someone else (I have permission) I had to copy it off his YT video letter by letter, so there might be some errors, though I tried correcting most of em.

Get ship velocity

I do know this has been asked so many times but I've been away from this game for a long time, so what I would like to know is. Do you still need to use block.GetPosition() then store as double and a few ticks later repeat and subtract old/new positon from old one to get ship velocity, or do they now have a nice clean method to access this directly... I'm not holding my breath, I do seriously doubt that even after all this time it still isn't a feature of ingame programming.

I'm trying to figure out PhysicalMass.

I have a ship and realistic inventory size.
This is the data I get.
Code:
		Empty cargo	2Mkg in cargo	Increase
Ship 		2.52Mkg		4.52Mkg		79%
TotalMass 	2.52Mkg		4.52Mkg		79%
BaseMass 	2.52Mkg		2.52Mkg		-
PhysicalMass 	10.06Mkg	18.06Mkg	79%
Now with x3 inventory size:

Code:
		Empty cargo	2Mkg in cargo	Increase
Ship 		2.52Mkg		4.52Mkg		79%
TotalMass 	2.52Mkg		4.52Mkg		79%
BaseMass 	2.52Mkg		2.52Mkg		-
PhysicalMass 	10.06Mkg	12.73Mkg...

How to find the block an TextPanel/LCD is attached to?

I've made a script to display the the capacity of inventories.

It looks around an lcd panel to find a block with an inventory (cargos, refinreies etc.).
What I want to do is to look at the block the LCD is mounted to first. But I have no how to transform "behind this block" into grid coordinates.

Can anyone help me with this?

Is there any sort of documentation on IMyShipConnector.Status?

I can't find any and the source code on github is horribly outdated.

There is some script that uses IMyShipConnector.IsConnected and IsLocked and I wanted to get rid of the obsolete stuff but can't find any real info except that there's now a Status property that does all that combined (which sounds wonderful).

Maybe i'm doing it wrong and shouldn't use notepad++ to code...

Finding a block relative to another block.

I'm a little stumped at where to begin. This will be part of a larger script but I'm trying to gain the basic understanding of how it's done.

When constructing a ship via projection, it's projected as a part of an existing grid. The orientation of this existing grid is subjective. When the ship is cut away from the host, it becomes a new entity and that grid is also subject to change orientation.

So my thought is to use a centralized block like a flight seat as a demarcation point....

Getting a v3 from an angle.

Ok, a better explanation.

I'm vector stupid.

Below is a picture of what I have. the v3.Position is in world coordinates. All other vectors are normalized. a= Azimuth, e=Elevation. When the angle is at 0,0 it's pointing in the same direction as v3.Forward.

What I need is a normalized v3 of that angle that somehow adds in the v3.Forward to give a world vector. Vector3.CreateFromAzimuthAndElevation will give me a v3 that's 0 based on the v3.Position.

Any trig experts out there?...
