My brain is going to explode. I’m working on a custom “laser guided” glide bomb controlled with either camera look or a tiny missile inside.
.
My trouble is the following:
1. I’m trying to make a rotator activate once then not allow it to de-activate.
2. To make a rotator work temporarily (5 sec or so) once activated, then never again.
3. Looking for tips on preventing PID controller bugs with a lot of &’s in it (for a VTOL engine).

It’s progress can be viewed at this link

Base plane and hover system is by Lemoose:

Edit: SOLUTIONS

1: Acts permanently (note, temporarily if 1/4 is positive. Numerator is how long in seconds only when positive)
( ceil(smooth(clamp01(Activate6), (Activate6=1) ? pow(10, 10):-1/4 )))

2: Copy #1's code into itself so I think something like this would work (note, 3 is how many seconds till activation)
( ceil(smooth(clamp01( ceil(smooth(Activate6,3)) ), ( ceil(smooth(Activate6,3)) =1) ? pow(10, 10): -1/4 )))

3: I suspect my 3rd issue from before is a bug due to an "if" statement in my code that checks the plane's pitch and/or roll angle and the tick speed of SP might mess it up. Not yet solved.
