Laser Designator

Description
Updated from DathBiomech "Surveillance Camera" mod.

A turret that doesn't have any ammo wont aim, making the designator pretty useless for script that would want to use the target reference of the turret

Hence I decided to update the mod and make it a "Laser Designator"

The "turret" will now generate it's own ammo, it will fire at a very slow rate (making a flash) but the ammo itself will be invisible and will not do any damage. Because of this you will now be able to get the targeted object in script, or use it with ready-to-use scripts such as RDAV's guided missile script.

In order to achieved this i took the script from jimmage (The Laser turret mod) and edited it to work for the designator and it's ammo. there was also a few "error" that I corrected.

The max range has been set to 5km for large ship and 2.5Km for small ships.

Enjoy!

I seem to have the same issue on our dedicated server. Noticed my turret radar stations were not giving any feeds. Found out that they don't have ammo to "attack" enemies with.

Tried in a new, no other mods loaded world, loading the local version and testing, then swapping with the downloaded version. Neither works :(

@Dreamfire @SpiritPlumber : I have tested and the Turret seems to be generating ammo.
However it will only do it when the inventory is almost empty . Have you experienced something like the turret actually empty and stopped aiming/firing?

Have to take time to fix this.

Sorry, wrong mod for the adv. designator issues. However, the designator turret still does not clear it's target when it goes away. I think it'll keep shooting at the same spot, which means that automatic missiles will continue to fire, at least when using rdav's script and setting auto fire to true.
