Sonar Guided Torpedo Tutorial - Step by Step Guide - Stormworks

[@laurinmeier4045]

You actually want to keep the center of mass away from the control surfaces so they have more effect on the orientation. e.g. its way easier to balance a Hammer on its handle than on the head Real life rockets also have the center of mass near the top btw

[@SpiffyBloom]

what was that additional thing in the front above the sonar. it had a single green connection point, what is that because it just kinda appeared

[@laurinmeier4045]

@@SpiffyBloom thats an altitude sensor so the torpedo knows how deep it is underwater

[@h.w.3759]

how is that possible that rockets have a center of mass near the top when they have all the fuel closer to the bottom?

I had a problem with the tracking on mine. To make it work properly flip your sonar vertically and make sure the function block is -x*6 instead of positive x*6. That should fix it.

[@gamerdog8256]

thanks mate, I was editing this and re-watching the video for a good hour before i cam across this comment, it finally works!

[@TryHardln]

vertically? facing which way?

[@overclocked5422]

@@TryHardln up down instead of left right it doesn't matter which way it faces.

[@TryHardln]

@@overclocked5422 I got it working now thanks a lot my guy

[@haroldthecartoon7901]

My sonar only wants to rotate to one side. it turns ones the target is in range bur for some reason if it's x*6 it turns right and if it's -x*6 it turns left. it doesn't matte if the target is left or right thats just the way it turns.

[@c4vengineering]

wait ok i could be wrong but elevation angle means up/down so wouldnt you put the sonar on the side or am i missing something here

[@owenkegg5608]

Yes. You're right.

[@liliac__2]

If you put it on the side it will read up/down instead of left/right

[@johnhosasck8667]

I use a distance+threshold for the trigger. Better, and makes it less likely to explode when your creation is hit

[@shipsability]

This still works?

[@johnhosasck8667]

@@shipsability I’m not sure I make mine with a slightly different method

[@Shadow_Hawk_Streaming]

If you add extra hardpoints it can help you to reload estock your vehicle

[@_Funtime60]

I've found that directly connecting an altitude sensor to the pitch will cause a hydrofoil to mostly plane at 0 elevation. Use a function block to offset it and bob's your uncle.

[@_bernat9132]

thanks for the advice bro

[@_Funtime60]

@@_bernat9132 wait this still works? neat

[@Div1ne_1]

Late to the party here, but you can subtract target depth from current depth (called a deviation) and use this in a function to control depth, start with /2 & work your way down if it's too sensitive. Mine go ~450km/h & /1.7 is perfect to keep it dead stable

[@2aherj24naedt42t]

10:00 Does sonar output target bearing with 'elevation angle' node? Do you think it's mis-type?

[@countZ74]

Elevation really seems to be elevation. So his torpedo hitting the target was just dumb luck. You need to put the sonar in vertically to get azimuth/yaw. I tried to replicate his torpedo and almost went nuts trying to hit a small target.

[@owenkegg5608]

@@countZ74 Yup. I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

[@overclocked5422]

@@countZ74 naw mate. I tired putting the sonar vertically and it went even more crazy. Edit: wait, ur right. Just make sure to put the function block to (-)x*6.

Loved the video @MrNJersey! Can't wait for the next video man! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Community man! Glad I could be a part of this community for the past 8-9 months or so! I've been looking at a lot of other Jets and Helicopters and the Occasional MBT, IFV/CFV and APC trying to think "What would Stormworks: Build and Rescue, Search and Destroy DLC be like if the AI had Panavia Tornado GR.4's, F-16 Fighting Falcon's, F/A-18 A and C Hornet's, F/A-18E and F Super Hornet's, AH-64 Apache's, UH-1D Huey "Slicks" and UH-1B Huey "Hog's", Westland Lynx AH.7's, AH-1 Huey "Cobra's", F-15C Eagles and F-15E Strike Eagles, F-14 Tomcat's, Eurocopter Tiger's, M1 Abrams MBT's, Challenger 2 MBT's, Leopard 2A5 MBT's, Challenger and Leopard Marksman Anti-Aircraft Tanks, M2/M3 Bradley's, BAe Systems Warrior, or even the CV 90 Series?" I'm also wondering why we don't see any AI Troops alongside the Vehicles as well.

[@Mufynzs]

Whenever I spawn my torpedo it just goes straight into the ground. Any fixes??

[@Lama-hq6sz]

Thank you NJ for this love

[@tblsp]

Could you make a PID tutorial? I've always thought about using them but just can't figure them out haha

[@vince2k09]

There is one on yt

[@vince2k09]

Search up PID tutorial stormworks

[@luckyizzac]

So there are 3 gains Gain means boost Propotional,integral,and something that starts with D Propotional gain, lets say is the booster of the urge to change the variable to the set point Integral gain calculates the future if the variable keeps on moving towards the set point which makes the speed of change decrease as the variable reaches the set point D gain is the boost to resist the quick changes (kind of like inertia), which makes sure that the variable doesnt start to move quickly to the set point(because it would be harder to slow down)

Hey mrNjersey im new to stormworks i was asking if you could make a european truck series ?

[@juustinkanava5844]

Yes

[@Leonidas1210vc]

this was helpful, now all i need is to work on a suitable torpedo launcher (and probably a decent ship) or a decent aircraft to launch it with and i'll be fine

[@FatherlessTrashTalker]

Can I use a keep active block so when the war head explodes I could still se it on the map?

[@TheCatstronaut]

no

[@Shadow_Hawk_Streaming]

Anyone know a good microcontroller to make radar\sonar torpedoes \missiles that not only track targets but also lead moving targets?

[@owenkegg5608]

Look up proportional navigation, it's rather simple math.

[@luckyizzac]

Well if its a spinning radar you cant But if you can control where it looks at you can Just maks sure the FOV is high enough

[@robotdude4377]

You can just divide the remaining distance by a number like 10 or 15 and divide that number by 100 and add that to your normal rudder output then hook to rudder.

[@Truc-KInG]

doesnt matter what i put in the function block, it goes left - infact i entered x*200 and it turned left even more

[@luckyizzac]

Try making it negative

[@toastmlg2310]

Put it sideways

[@olssong7941]

My torpedo is going the wrong direction, the target is to the left but it goes to the right, or it's not tracking att all. The torp going in the wrong direction seemed to be that i had a sunken boat nearby, still doesn't explain it going to the right. I removed the boat and now it's actually tracking the boat i have parked a bit away, but it keeps turning left after it goes the same heading the boat is in. And yes, the torpedo is set up like in the video.

[@owenkegg5608]

Iirc elevation angle isn't the right output to use and you need the azimuth instead.

[@frantisekjancalek8587]

Please make tank build series,🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Truc-KInG]

would love to see more definately - i'd love to see this launched off the side of a boat somehow, then I can add it to mine :)

[@Truc-KInG]

also, what about hitting moving targets ;)

[@Jamtime-tj6sv]

I have followed this tutorial but my torpedo keeps rolling causing it to consistantly turn to the right no matter what, why?

[@mrh6182]

I'm stuck on the depth hold, I did the same PID settings as him and the torpedo can't seem to settle on a depth. I increased the Derivative gain but it doesn't seem to be helping.

[@kilikus822]

Could this be simplified with the new radar composite output? Or do the radars in game not work underwater?

they dont work under water sadly. i did some test and radar dont work underwater and sonar dont work out of water

Hello

[@owenkegg5608]

PSA: This is blatantly wrong. Don't hook up the elevation, hook up the azimuth. And remember that you want your COM further away from the control surfaces to provide more authority.

[@Jamtime-tj6sv]

What azimuth? The only outputs on my sonar are signal strengh, target distance and elevation angle, can you please be more spacific about what to do? My torpedo keeps going to the right no matter what, it is starting to piss me off

@@Jamtime-tj6sv You've got to place the sonar block on its side so the elevation number is horizontal instead of vertical.
