From the Depths Lua programming guide - tumbling ramming drone part 2 - PID implementation

This is a Lua coded drone in the game From the Depths (FTD) with no attitude control that seeks out enemies while tumbling through the air.

This video is about implementing PD(proportional derivative) control for controlling the altitude and getting rid of any extra movement.
