Making An Aimbot Battleship in Besiege

[@ReidCaptain]

Hey guys! I'm working on making a portable synth, if that sounds interesting to you, check out my Kickstarter!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reidcaptain/mixisynth

[@soundandfury9641]

I love how sometimes these processes parallel real world developments like when you put the charge and the projectile into one object instead of loading them separately. Boom, cased ammunition instead of cap and ball.

[@ReidCaptain]

Originally I was thinking of having different types of bullets that I could use, but that went out the window when I couldn't get it to load right

[@nyhxe]

​@@ReidCaptain probably more or less how cased ammo became the standard

[@2KDrop]

2 piece ammunition was actually used on ships for a _long_ time until they moved over to missiles, just due to the insane weight and size of the shells used. Although 2 piece is still used in some places that have moved to cased shells, most notably the Russian/Soviet designed MBTs vs NATO MBTs

[@Nafinafnaf]

​@@2KDrop Its honestly kinda funny how tanks still basically use that "cap and ball" concept, just instead of a cap you have a cylinder of explosives, and instead of a ball you have APFSDS and HEAT shells

[@nevermore4816]

Hell I love how he just built the uss Iowa without blueprints lmao

[@BramWilsens]

The gravity factor you calculated was off a little due to the propellers providing some thrust, propelling you higher. The gravity factor of besiege is exactly 32.81 m/s/s

[@ReidCaptain]

I figured something was probably a little off, thanks for the info!

[@nork7045]

I actually think that the propellers might have helped to neutralize the drag.

[@lucass4827]

@@nork7045 he said exactly so he probably knows its in the code or something idk much about besiege but there may be no drag

Using a triangle to do the math was insanely smart, guess we can call it payback for all the years learning Pythagorean theorem

And trigonometry XD

[@Wesrets]

That's why i love mathematics

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

Before digital and pure electronic computing, naval ships used electro-mechanical calculator. They had triangles, cones, spirals, gears and pinions etc for not just arithmetic but calculus calculating rate of change etc. This allowed ships like the Iowa-class battleships to hit a moving target 20 km away while making S maneuvers

Hi guys, and welcome back! I explain a little bit at the end of the video what's been going on, but I'm also hoping to share more details of that project in the coming weeks. In the meantime though, let me know what you want to see me make!

[@CM-dx6xu]

[@lao4831]

Not really a suggestion for besiege, but I see you love these kind of games so I would like to reccoment stormworks, it has a steep learning curve but the 20 dollars is more that worth it!

You managed to build a fire control system! Anyways could you make self guided explosive drones?

[@superkillskulldeath6624]

[@ez_theta_z9317]

i'd like to see you try out some other games, Nimbatus seems right up your alley with an advanced logic system, physics stuff quite similar to besiege (though 2d) and some interesting parts such as magnets, and Cosmoteer is another game that it could be interesting to see you play (i bet you'd be able to make some sort of logic gate using ion beams and prisms)

It was very unexpected seeing how precisely it was able to hit the targets, even in water. Besiege mechanisms always look very sloppy, but this one worked extremely well.

wdym it didnt hit a single target

[@DrippyPootis]

@@kdesikdosi5900 Still for a game engine not made for this kind of thing he managed to create this insanely well. Even if it failed, all its successful fires were near dead on.

[@andrewcavallo1877]

20:24 This is where you need ballasts along the center of the ship! All ships have a ballast at their lowest level of the hull, usually filled with water, in order to increase the center of gravity and prevent side-to-side movement

[@ez_theta_z9317]

Keel is the actual term, but yes. a low centre of gravity makes for a good boat

[@andrewcavallo1877]

@@ez_theta_z9317 If I remember I think keels and ballasts are different, but they both function for the purpose of ballasting. Keels are the fin-like structures along the centerline of vessels, usually on sailboats or larger sail ships, to provide weight at a low point and increase the amount of water that would have to be displaced in order to capsize. Ballasts are more like tanks filled with water to provide stability for modern cargo ships when they are empty, or sometimes just a collection of rocks, sandbags or heavy cargo for old sail ships. I think a keel is just one form of ballasting but depending on what type of ship it is it will have one or both of them

[@ez_theta_z9317]

@@andrewcavallo1877 if you're knowledgeable on the matter, i'll defer to you. you sound like you know what you're talking about

[@andrewcavallo1877]

@@ez_theta_z9317 No you’re good! The way I wrote the initial comment does sound a lot more like a keel in retrospect, but I meant to write it more as describing a weighted ballast. You had the right idea, I definitely just needed to describe it better. Depending on the water physics in Besiege, a keel might work just as well

[@229thTacticalFighterSquadron]

​​@@andrewcavallo1877 Correct. Keels are the "spines" of a ship, although the term most often refers to the one down the centerline and at the very bottom of the hull, other structures that are similar, and are used to give the ship rigidity and or structure, e.g. propellor Skegs, like the ones found on Iowa Class Battleships, are also Keels. Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial has a video on their ship's Keels. Ballast is either an object, mass or liquid, e.g. seawater and or fuel, used to stabilise a ship. Ballast can come in a few forms, fuel in fuel tanks low in the ship, sea water in ballast tanks, and objects used as ballast.

[@quinnnorfolk4664]

There is this game "similar" to besiege, called stormworks: build and rescue. It's a sandbox, construction, survival game where you build boats, planes, helicopters, submariens, ships, cars, VTOLs, Anything! And it also has built in weapons and damage mechanics so you don't have to deal with funky physics. And often, it's more funny than frustrating in sandbox when things go wrong! From what you play, I think you would like it.

Tbh in slight inaccuracy actually feels pretty fitting for battleship since accurately hitting a target at sea with naval gunfire is extremely hard so accuracy rates were pretty low, hence the need for firing in salvos.

[@Anna-1917]

This is so cool! I'm actually working on building something similar, but all in vanilla. I've actually got all the proof of concept done, just need to add it to a ship. Ive made an auto-bomber that will drop a bomb anywhere you point to on the map. The design I use can get the distance to a target as a float. Analog computers are really fun in this game. Maybe when Im done I could show you what I came up with?

[@barnykirashi]

The intresting part, is that most Super-Dreadnought-Era Battleships had heavy computerization, and while for safety reasons, a lot of the firing was remained human controlled, the Battleships would still calculate the target's distance, heading, their own shell velocity and would basically lead themselves on the target, leaving only minor changes, and the firing itself to the crew. But this also was true for all the destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers at the time.

[@danker3180]

I love the game, although I have never played it, I have always been passionate about these things, so I don't know if there will be wind currents or what, but the fact that the bullet does not always go to the same place is quite realistic, also in battleships, which used to shoot at several kilometers these projectiles used to deviate quite a bit, that's why it is very very well done and funny, good video

[@bunny6820]

To make the boat not tip over you must shift the center of mass below the surface of the water. That is why boats have a massive spiky metal pertrusion that goes deep into the sea. Try putting a bunch of ballasts with a heightened mass far under directly under the center of mass so that it does not desire to tip over anymore
