Finally, @TNP99999, the first precise radar with both direction and ranging. @Public, This is a showcase of how a radar can be made. Works best in space but I want to shows you its downsides.

    A (reletivly thick) layer of glass in between the LIDAR source and anything in the detection field is an effective jammer, changing the percived locations of the objects, and in some cases, completly disabling the sensing capabilities.

    Also, getting a block of pipe and setting it all to one color (green, for example) kind of works like a buffer that captures and randomly spits out particles. I've known this for a long time, but its effect on the radar is interesting: the scope displays a large cluster of small targets, rather than the outline of the actual block.

    I've done some testing on jamming. Photons work like you'd expect, drowning out all returns. Electrons work mostly the same as photons but are less reliable. Protons damage the electronics, or, if you're careful, can even temporarily reverse operation of the radar beam.

    Lol, that is the last resort in case biohazard breaks out since I find it tempting to add LIFE

    I bet it even detects flying monkeys.

    Lol, glass works as a jamming cloak. The photons will go thru, but the signal scrambles and the cannons misfire.

    I just am not able to put together a coded system like this, mostly because I don't understand how all the elements can interact. I also just...just...man, I can't explain. It's just so uncomprehendable.

    This is AMAZING. I have never seen anything so intricate. I keep looking at all the complicated computers on TPT, and I wish I could make stuff like this. I just don't understand mechanics complex as this on TPT. Maybe if I play for like 11 years I will... :/
