The issue is that a this kind of thing is a requirement for telesci.
Ok, I have to state that this isn't true and that I never intended that you needed to do math to use telescience. You get enough tries to viably bruteforce it, all you have to know is how far something is and which angle it to the telepad. When I telescience I don't use a map or a spreadsheet and I manage to raid the armoury, engineering and many other places.
The rotation is the following, 0 is north, 90 is east, 180 is south and 270 is west; because of the random factor this won't be perfect so you'll have to adjust for it when bruteforcing.
The furthest distance you can go with the angle is 45 degrees. If you want to teleport closer then you should keep setting angle to a lower value, the lower the closer; no point setting it higher as it'll have the same result but will take longer.
I recommend only changing the power when setting the angle to 45 isn't far enough.
The GPS is the best tool you have as it tells you where your teleport goes to, you can use this to make adjustments easily. If you can't get to where you want in 20+ tries then I don't know what to say.
From my experience on Goonstation, its considered okay for people to use the calculator. That is because they have adventuring areas that make telesci a secondary use besides wreckin' the station's/gamemode's shit.
Hell, if we could make some areas that are exclusive to telesci, or link them with the away missions, I think we could do something really cool with it. Although I do not think we can top the Solarium Quest. Maybe something like Holiday "Eventures" or actually jumping into alternate realities.
We could also add more synergy with mining, as an emergency item/weapon/medivac unit. Seriously, if I had the patience, I would be using telesci to back up the guys who supply my R&D team.
Thanks to the fancy new NTSL trig functions, I've finally ported the entire tool to NTSL.
It works exactly the same as the regular tool, only with text-based commands instead of buttons. It also may have to spread bruteforcing over several runs of the script, thanks to the limits on NTSL.
But hey, no complains about external programs anymore!

The real props should be for porting that to NTSL, good work on that.
99% of the kids who go through that class forget all of it the summer afterwards, even if they pass
there is absolutely 0 practical reason to carry that knowledge unless you want to be an actual mathematician or some sort of programmer
Trigonometry is a really important branch of mathematics. If you want to study any exact science, you'll run into it sooner or later.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.
Some idiot tries to welderbomb the AI hiding out at mining for no discernible reason.
Two permabans and a dayban, i'm expecting a snarky appeal from one of them soon. What the fuck.
Trig is one of the only important parts of math, really.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Hey there, I'm Virescent, the super evil person who made the stupid appeal and didn't think it through enough. Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.

This is very much true. I only ported it as a sort of proof-of-concept that it doesn't neccessarily have to be external, because there is an internal (shitty, annoying, limited) scripting language instead.
Anyone have a valid link for the calculator still?

It was just a prank bro isn't a very good excuse when it comes to unprovoked nonantag murder, but since this is your first time doing it and you seem to understand the problem instead of a bannu I'm just going to leave you with a warning. Please PLEASE don't do this again in the future, as funny as crackhead broken bottle memes can be. Alrighty? Do you have any input on this?
