With the power of Funky Trees, I bring you... the electronic scale.
This is exactly what it sounds like it is. It measures the mass of things, and you just need to gently place an object on the measuring area to get a reading of the mass of the object.
Controls
- ON/OFF Button: On/off toggle.
- TARE Button: tare the scale. Will set current load as the reference point.
- UNIT Button: unit conversion between kilograms and pounds. Current unit type will be displayed on the LCD.
- FREEZE Button: for those measurements that simply won't settle. Press to enable the freeze function (displayed on LCD), which freezes the displayed measurement until unfreezed.
- LIGHT Button: backlight for the LCD for easier reading.
- MEM SAVE Button: save the current value in memory for recall.
- MEM DISP Button: recall the stored value and display it. Toggled.
This is something I came up with quickly after just thinking about the variable output unique to shocks (springs). Surprised it wasn't done already, but here it is for you to play with, in a glorious form factor known to many students of science familiar with analytical chemistry for the notorious inability to give precise measurements if you do as much as breathe on the device. In the same spirit, this device has been built to no reasonable precision standard and is rather janky. I may or may not update it to be more usable.
I do not take responsibility for the production of any illicit substances manufactured in the SimplePlanes universe with the assistance of this device.

@Gryf2diams OOHH THX imma (maybe) printscreen this :D
@BRNavyPilot
Your answer came at the right moment,I made some tests about it this morning, and this is what I found:
If you put a shock ahead of your véhicule with a high of 0.1, characteristics at their lowest and partCollisionResponse on none, when the shock touches a solid object it will go through it, and output a negative value depending on how close from you the object is/how far the shock is in it.
Now the only part that's left to you is to find how to transform this output into a correct distance value using ft.
@Gryf2diams OH NOICE IDEA THX
@BRNavyPilot I think you could put invisible pistons way ahead of your vehicle and use their output to detect contact. This does mean you won't be able to advance when close to a wall due to the piston hitting it.
I’m gonna start dealing virtual weed
Like this one, but WITHOUT MODS: https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/505098/Distance-Sensor-Light
Hi, Snow. I want to know if there's a way to make something like a laser based distance meter or something like this. Let's say that i don't want to let a car or a hover hit any wall in its front, how do i make the thing know when and where to stop before hitting the wall? Like, WITHOUT MODS, to avoid letting my computer EXPLODE in my face by don't being able to handle the performance cost of any MOD. Thanks.
hmm yes i will definitely not make the funny breaking bad glass

No clue why it was glossed over. Patch notes are your friend
Wait, springs have a variable output? I've spent way too long trying to get an output from control bases
This is like the S-Nav of Scp
"Gently"
drops a plane on it like its 1945 again
"wait repeat that..."
Clearly it's baking soda. At least that's what the kids tell me. I'm amazed by how precise their baking has become.

damn, just what i've been looking for! You can use this to make bullets set off by a hammerstrike or pressure plates
Suspicious substances on the scale....
Might be salt.
Might be snow.
But I think it's crystal Math.
Is their a video I can watch

Salt crystals (I swear)

Can I use this to measure the weight of a umm....
Plane?
@JJsimple
must be glue.
After all, it IS sticky.
