for the longest time I've been trying to search for an auto aim code that limits the motion range of both the elevation and heading rotators to the angle of my choice. I don't even need it to aim ahead I just want it to point at the target. that's the only thing holding me back from publishing like 1 or 2 builds
@4e8e87 my autoaim has that, if ya wanna use it, any tnk of mine has it.
It also is orientation proof
@Star54ilor to share a link use this

@Star54ilor again, you're welcome. If there's anything else, just summon me. I will do what I can.
@overlord5453 didn't work either, I uploaded the vehicle and here's the link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2xNu7Z/Fixer-Mk1-Traverse-Test
honestly thanks a lot for staying with me on this painstaking task, I really appreciate it
@Star54ilor try this:
clamp((deltaangle(Heading,TargetHeading)/10) * 10, -6.1,6.1)
Are you trying to limit the rotation to 6 degrees? If this didn't work, upload it as unlisted and tag me there. I will take a look at it and what I can do.
@overlord5453 I appreciate the response! so I've tried bringing in the cockpit closer put it's not doing much unfortunately, it's an issue with the traverse rotator. it could be cause by the way I handled the code or configured the rotator so here are the settings:
Input code: clamp(deltaangle(Heading,TargetHeading) / 6.1, -6.1, 6.1)
Range of Motion: 10*
min=-1
max=1
@Star54ilor you're welcome
i think it's the cockpit's position that's causing the offset. Remember, all values depends on your cockpit/flight computer position. For example, values like altitude, target distance ,target elevation and heading depends on the cockpit/flight computer. You could solve it by bringing it as close as possible to the Rotators. Keep it at the same x, z position as the traverse rotator and x, y, z position of the elevation rotator for best accuracy.
You can do a simple experiment to see how it affects the output. First spawn in just the cockpit on the ground and note the altitude and spawn it again but this time place a fuselage pice Or few blocks below it and you will see the altitude is higher compared to the previous.
@overlord5453 IT WORKS. You have my eternal gratitude, thank you so much!!
although I had just noticed a huge flaw, my aiming tends to be a bit offset now, any way to go around this?
Use
deltaangle(Heading,TargetHeading) / anglefor traverse andTargetElevation / anglefor elevation.Try
clamp(input, minimum limit, maximum limit)for limiting it's movement.
