By utilizing target velocity, I've created an
advanced guided missile which predicts straight
line target trajectories in real time,
effectively cutting all corners where possible.
By also calculating the inertia of the missile
itself, interception accuracy, and reaction time
have been greatly enhanced while also eliminating
target orbit.

Basically, instead of the missile heading for its
target, it will fly ahead of it in a straight
line, so as to collide with it; this is called
'lead collision'.

The contraption itself is a simple missile I
threw together to demonstrate what the expression
is capable of; the missile is fully functional
however, and extremely hard to avoid.

How to Install:
If you would like to use the expression on your own missile,
all that's needed is a vector thruster and a target finder.
Ensure that the vector thruster is above the center point of the missile.

You are welcome to use and modify my expression, but
please give credit where due.

    Tvel = Target:vel():length() * LM
    Gvel = entity():vel():length() * IM
    LV = (Target:vel() * Tvel) * Dist
    GV = entity():vel() * Gvel
    Vec = GPS -(Target:massCenter() + LV - GV)
 
    #TP = Target:massCenter()
    #HoloTest = vec(-((TP:x()+LV:x())-GV:x()), (TP:y()+LV:y())-GV:y(), ((TP:z()+LV:z())-GV:z())-150)
 
    Mult = 1
   }
 else {Mult = 0, Hold = 0}

Thanks to Hitman271 for cleaning up some of my code.

Wow, Absolutely amazing!

Great job! Cookies for you!

[Whodunnit]

cool, i was planning on making a cannon that fires ahead of you like this.

[Bull]

Very nice Gunnanmon. You keep spitting out the cool contraptions

[Gunnanmon]

Thanks guys. I'm going to add this to the E2 wiki.

[Tolyzor]

Omg, I was trying to make this exact thing, but the maths got me stumped lol. Nice one.

[pl0x]

why not use the e2 chip as the target finder and the thruster, although you maybe dont want the e2 as the thruster as it would have to be on the missile, but as the target finder it would be good.

and a video would be nice.

It doesn't actually have to be on the missile, you can apply force to other entities :lol:

[oenmaster]

i cant chance the setting of the target-finder... other than that NICE!!! anoing the hell out if my friends XD

its it parantded?

i forgot about that :P
