use an event controller with a defensive block to trigger them on/off

@UnSayableStorm
it only retracts when turned off so you would need to build a system which detects the enemy and then activates the weapons.

how can i set this up so that it stays retracted until a target appears in range, then it pops up to fire?

Not sure but I think this mod was broken by the Fieldwork update. A lot of my mods seem to have been. The turrets now just show up as a block in the preview and when built they don't function

@The Red Comet
the answer lies inside the moddescription.

also if the turrets are based on a ctc and dont use modded nonwc weapons they should still be working, though there where cases in the past where a ctc and preexisting weapons needed to be rebuild after wc was added to an existing world to be properly replaced by the internal or the choosen alternate replacer for the vanilla weapons and ctc.

is the retractable version available for vanilla? I run a server with a few users who use custom turrets and I would like to run the retractable PDCs without breaking their ships

yes, there's a link in description, "Vanilla Version"

Is there a version of this where weapon core is not needed to use it?

link fixed, thanks!

probably cause its still an old link prior to the change from darkstar over to ash like snow
working link for it: https://github.com/Ash-LikeSnow/WeaponCore/wiki/Player-Tips#december-2022-addendum-on-non-wc-weapons

Disclaimer link does not work btw

update: fixed gatling ammo not working, fixed names for ammo in terminal

you can set them to manual control, like you would add actions in the action bar for normal weapons

i am kind of new to weapon core but how do you shoot like you just did in the video, making it follow your mousse ?

you'd have to set up a few sensors and event blocks to turn them on/off on enemy detection

Hello
Can I make this turret automatically retract and activate when an enemy is nearby?
Regards

This mod works fine, new weapon core is just the same as the other right now. Mod authors are switching. No need to update this without any new functionality changes.

I see the new weapon core as a dependency, but the mod was last updated a year ago. Is the new weapon core actually what your mod requires?

nvm reloaded and now its working. please disregard.

hmm in my save game it wont target grids at all only projectiles. ive checked the settings and it isnt working.

They're all set to target: Grids, Characters, Projectiles, and Meteors

in weaponcore it doesnt shoot small grids as set, it only targets missiles and rockets. Is this by design or a bug?

Hey there, first off great mod, tons of fun and a hell of a pdc. i have bit of an odd request and it's probably not gonna hapen, but is it feasible to add a slightly larger like 2x3 retractable version that looks more proportional on the bigger large grid replicas of the Rocinante that we have in SE? It looks great on the small grid Rocinante replica by @Charly1138, but as soon as they're on any large grid replicas of the Rocinante, they look too tiny.

yes.

@Ghostclaw the Warrior Cat
did you let steam check for file integrety?
did you make sure you deleted modfiles of this mod from both storage folder and the workshop folder before making the new download?

They act liek conveyors even after new dowloading

They do not wanna shoot (they dont have the settigns other turrets usually have like Targetsettings or range etc.) Its liekt hey arent turrets

any chance it can use animation engine so the retracting works in multiplayer?

Weird wouldn't let me probably something on my end I'll try again. Thx.

Did you use the mod Mr.Kat? They are on small grid also.

These are so cool and amazing. Would love a version where you don't change anything except letting me put these on a Small Grid.

@[BR1] Bobothemonk, try this instead of reupload https://github.com/sstixrud/WeaponCore/wiki/CoreSystems-Server-Config-Options

Hi nukegaurd. May I use this mod in my server C-137 PvP? I would have to reupload as hidden with some adjusted settings.

@Anubis Corporation
in case you use a inventory management script tag the wepaons accordingly so that they are ignored by the script.
i already encountered them not reloading while using isys inventory manager cause it did pul the ammo out faster than they could reload till i set them to be ignored.

also always a possibility is file corruption of game and/or modfiles and mod conflict, did you check for that?

They do take ammo in survival, I only test in survival, and they work fine with pulling ammo, make sure you don't have the old gatling ammo in the guns, keen changed the ammo name. It takes the depleted uranium and gatling ammo

The weapon does not accept ammunition in the survival. pls update

not possible without wc, no animations with keens weapons

Hi possible version retractable for non WC ?

Animation does not work if on/off from button, timer, sensor and ivent controller

turn the off/on to trigger animation

How do you retract the guns?

gatling ammo box works in this

no non-depleted ammo i.e. no build-able ammo that does not take uranium. no other build-able ammo works with this weapon

anyone seen issue where "Gatling Ammo Box" isnt being replaced by the 25mm box? Using MCRN weapon core, and it wont take the "gatling ammo" boxes. I believe it is because the vanilla replacement or weapon core isnt allowing me to build to correct ammo type.

aha, glad you found the issue

@Nukeguard,
Hello There.

i found the Issue. I copied the world from my Drive to my Serverblend Server. It doesn't recognize the mods correctly.
I need to download it, insert the mod and reupload it again.

https://github.com/sstixrud/WeaponCore/wiki/Player-Tips#december-2022-addendum-on-non-wc-weapons

I cannot replicate your issue, and this mod is working fine alongside many other wc mods, you may still have another mod conflict

Suddenly, weapon blocks from a third-party mod disappeared, right in the game. I can't manage to install it anywhere anymore, but I see a warning message about Weapon Core compability every time I try.
Mod "Revived Large Ship Railguns", it doesn't use WeaponCore and there were no compatibility issues prior to last WC update. The Lord @DarkStar had tested compatibility between these mods and fined no issues. But as soon as I removed your (the only one) WC mod from my world, all come back to normal.

I think, I installed and uninstalled it a few times.
