Introduction

This mod adds a button to the Custom Turret Controller Block that will help setup your rotor turrets automatically.

How To Use

To use this mod, you will first need to set the Azimuth Rotor in your Custom Turret Controller block. Once you've done that, you can press the "Quick Setup" button.

Quick Setup will scan all blocks attached to the other end of the Azimuth Rotor and will look for other rotors that could be considered Elevation Rotor. Once it finds another Rotor, it will scan all the blocks on the other end of that Rotor, and add any weapons or tools to the Custom Turret Controller (and will assign that Rotor as the Elevation Rotor).

Possible Limitations

I threw this together in about half an hour, so it hasn't been tested in multiplayer / dedicated server. It was primarily designed so I could quickly setup rotor turrets for NPC grids - which I mostly do offline. If it doesn't work in multiplayer, it may be something I add in the future.

This probably will not properly work with WeaponCore, since that mod re-implements the Custom Turret Controller.

I'm creating a Ultimate Vanilla Weapons Fix mod and would really like to include this, with your permission.
I haven't expanded into C# scripting yet and don't have the knowledge to write something similar. If you don't want me to add it in directly then i can just add it as a dependence or link it on the page.

can i get a link to github and may i get permission to make it a plugin and put it in the plugin repo as record?

@Greenie - it runs entirely client side (as long as it actually works on DS - haven’t heard one way or the other), so that’s probably possible.

I don’t make plugins though, so someone else would need to make that bit happen.
