So I made a air-to-surface missile using funky trees
I'm pretty sure nobody has done this yet
It was INCREDIBLY hard to write the code
It doesn't really track anything
It just heads towards the point which you aimed at
It's also a fire-and-forget missile, which is pretty cool
It doesn't account for height of terrain, which sucks
That means it is more accurate when fired at stuff which are at sea level and at high altitude
Also, at the moment: Long range = good
Short range = bad
Still needs a few tweaks
All in all, I'm pretty proud of it
Was it worth the effort? Absolutely
not
Crap the gif is not loading
There we go
So it’s “laser-guided”? Cool
pretty cool
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

also, thanks for pointing that out
Yea, pretty much
Thanks
