Radar

The radar allows you to detect objects in the direction of the arrow on the texture. The radars detection is based on the surface area of the object, the distance it is away from you and your scan angle. If you have a smaller scan range in general, you will be able to see further and you will be able to detect smaller bodies. A larger scan range will result in the opposite.

Structure​

Target​

A target is an object detected from the radar.

Fields:​

  • position [ Vec3 ] The position of the target.
  • velocity [ Vec3 ] The velocity of the target.
  • mass [ number ] The mass of the object.
  • isDynamic [ boolean ] Whether the object is dynamic or not (always true for units).
  • surfaceArea [ number ] The total surface area that the radar can see.
  • type [ string ] The type of the object the radar can see (Currently 'creation' or 'unit').
  • id [ integer ] The id of the object, (dependant on type).

Functions​
