InoTechRadar

I decided to give this resource from 2017 a rework and fix the main error of the radar not working. Forks and commits are appreciated.

Requirements & Dependencies:

ESX (will be removed, only used in one function)

Features:

• Tracks other player-controlled aircraft and boats.
• Toggleable interface display, which is maximized while in first person. (See example screenshot #1)
• Different vehicles have different radar ranges and refresh rates. (Military vehicles are generally equipped with much stronger radar, for instance). 2D range checks are used for simplicity’s sake.
• Configurable LoS checks allows for using terrain or buildings to occlude yourself, effectively allowing you to “fly under the radar”.
• Radar targets will be displayed with their callsign, distance, altitude, and velocity. (See example screenshot #1).
• Sonar targets are only displayed as a dot (See example screenshot #2).
• Radar cannot see targets that are submerged, and Sonar can only see other boats and subs.
• Size of the radar scales automatically with your resolution.

Todos:

*) Angle based radar

**) Animate radar sweep? Performance may be an issue for spam-updating html canvas Implemented in V1.0.0

**) Bonus points if sweep can be matched with physically visible radar on Predator.

*) Client-side options Implemented in V1.0.0

*) Implement radar types for different identification & showing directional vectors

*) Active & Passive SONAR

**) Active range sonar would greatly boost range, but also reveal your own position to other sonar from far away

**) Allow boats/subs without active SONAR to be invisible from passive SONAR while their engines are turned off (or going very slowly?)

***) Will need server-side code to propagate sonar status

***) Will need to ensure passengers in vehicles cannot change active sonar status, and get their own active sonar status from server.

***) There are currently no multi-person submarines, though.

*) Possibly add propagation delay to SONAR to simulate speed of sound

**) Investigate performance issues if this was to be implemented V1.0.1

*) Add static ground radar Implemented in V1.0.1

**) Add ground radar operation

**) Add radar distribution system

*) Add radar to certain dinghy variations (all seat variations)

*) Take target signature into account?

*) Add knots as an option for velocity display
