Space Engineers - Graphical 3D Radar Script - Tutorial (Outdated)
New - Sorry folks, it appears as though this script no longer works with the most recent version of Space Engineers and the author has moved on to other things. I'll keep this video up in the meantime though, as it's a cool piece of scripting history and added something useful to the game back in it's day.
A quick tutorial to show how easy it is to get Alex-ThatRadarGuy's/NativeInterface's Graphical 3D Radar Script working in Space Engineers.
