Using depency injection (DI) and several files

So, after coming back to SE after like 4 years, I have some reqeusts for the C# scritping system (not sure if they are implemented alaready).

Allow for people to define a class in a separate file, then use Dependency injection or usings to access these classes inside the scripts.

This would reduce script sizes enormously , since people can actually have 1 file per class, and reuse defined types in other scripts without having to reupload them.

Further it could lower the execution...

Hmm The behavior of this has changed from how it was before and how it was during the release tests and it seems to be broken.
from the ingamte script interface for "IMyInventory" the method "GetItems"
void GetItems(List<MyInventoryItem> items, Func<MyInventoryItem, bool> filter = null);

Originaly this retruned the neede dinfo.
During the release tests it was changed to return void but ot accepted a list with the out keyword so that list would be populated with the needed info rather than...

IMyInventory.GetItems() Returning MyInventoryItem instead of IMyInventoryItem

I've got a few sections of code in a couple automatic drill miners, all of the code was written by a user called Pennywise, that use the GetItems method to perform different tasks. One section I've managed to convert over to the new MyInventoryItem way, but the second section, specifically where the Content method is called. According to the compilation log, the Content method is non-existent for the type MyInventoryItem, and I cannot cast an IMyInventoryItem to a MyInventoryItem.

Help using new inter-grid communications

Can someone explain how the new inter-grid communication system works? The old method of using the "IMyRadioAntenna.TransmitMessage" doesn't seem to work anymore and I can't find any information about the new system. I've been searching through the forums, Malware's API index, and google for any information. The most information I've found was on Malware's API index, but that still left me confused of how to actually use it.

For reference, when I tried running a script that used the...

Oh yes, that's right. The single most requested feature for PB is now happening. Programmable blocks can now utilize the antenna system to send data to other grids. We said it was never gonna happen, but we have to keep you on your toes now, don't we? ;-)

While you pick your collective jaws up from the floor, let's show some love for @Malware who helped design this system, and @Jimmacle for providing so much feedback that I ended up rewriting...

Gravity aligning thrusters

Hello, I wanted to try and create a script that uses thrusters on rotors to rotate them to match gravity for a modular miner I was going to try and build. I was wondering if anyone here had tried a project like this and how you went about it, since I was thinking about making it where you feed the gravity vector into the rotor and have it rotate the thruster to match the angle (or the inverse of it).

I attempted to look at the Gravity Aligned Camera script to see how he was rotating the...

Execution time . What is acceptable for a script that people may use on multi play

I only play solo( because i mostly play with scrips ) so i don't really know what happens on multi play servers.
Im trying to keep execution times low with peaks only 10ms. Quite often 1ms or less. Also using dynamic refresh rates. And restart timer blocks so things are only done when they are needed.

What do i need to aim at with a published script. When does it stop being a usfull script and turn into a lag machine.

I expect the answer is 'it depends'

I'm currently writing a script for storing battery information.

This is a rundown of what I'm doing:

1. I'm taking the power information received from all my batteries via .DetailedInfo and splitting it into a matrix

for (int i = 0; i < batteryCount; i++)
{
batteryInfo = batteries.DetailedInfo;
var batteryInfoMatrix = batteryInfo.Split(' ' , '\n');

This should split up all the words into individual strings

2. After this I send the power output and the power label to a method to...

Since scripts are clearly considered as an "experimental" feature and basically banished from 95% of servers of the game, is it possible to expect the possibility to retrieve radar signature for extend possibilities of drone's script ? :)

Hello all,

I'm looking for some tips on how to make scripts run as fast as possible.

What's the best place to use the GetBlock methods? Is it possible to just get the blocks the first time the program runs and keep them for all following executions or is this a bad idea?

What other things have you figured out that can improve execution time?

Thanks

I have a script and I would like to determine the speed of the ship in the forward direction of the ship only. Basically, if you where traveling 10m/s forward and you turned exactly 90 degrees I would get the speed of 0.
--- Automerge ---
After a little bit more digging I found some old code. I updated it and it works great.
Code:
		/*
		 * Returns the speed given a cockpit and a direction
		 * Example direction: Base6Directions.Direction.Forward

I got this error on test, in the EasyAPI code (which I had updated to handle currently live changes but that hasn't been pushed to github or the store).

There is no argument that corresponds to the required formal parameter `items` of `IMyInventory.GetItems(List<IMyInventory>, Func<MyInventoryItem, bool>`)

Adjusting to use MyInventoryItem instead of IMyInventoryItem, error:

'MyInventoryItem' does not contain a definition for 'Content' and no extension method...​

I've looked at the source code and tried to find working examples, but I just can't seem to get the position of my character. How do you make this code work?

return;

MyAPIGateway.Utilities.ShowNotification(..., 10000, MyFontEnum.White);

}

Thanks.
