Panda-X, can you provide the source on my discord, or to me directly? I will integrate it as soon as possible :)

Panda-X 27 Sep, 2023 @ 1:38am

Hey I've amended this script in order to set a threat level. I was going to post it but happy to just contribute to the source?

BookBurner [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:56am

@miki, it detects weaponcore targets, so, if your weapons are set to target neutrals, it should detect them as well, if it doesn't I can surely alter it :)

Miki 30 Sep, 2022 @ 12:25pm

hi dose this script detect everything or will it just work wen there are enemy's around and not activate if neutrals are about

AN Marc Appledash 19 Jul, 2022 @ 2:01am

and whips has no timer trigger

AN Marc Appledash 19 Jul, 2022 @ 2:00am

yeah but now that i know why it did not work im happy that it works now

i was looking at a lot of script for timer trigger but this on works best

i tryed to use the LIDAR mapping script but that dont work with WC because WC does bad stuff to cams

BookBurner [author] 19 Jul, 2022 @ 12:06am

sorry for not responding sooner, I fell asleep :D but yeah, subgrids can cause problems for most scripts, since they are technically a new grid. You can check blocks and stuff on interconnected grids, but I don't do that :D.

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:17pm

thank you for this script

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:16pm

lets go it works this script is Exacly what i needed to make the script im using even more OP

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:09pm

everything used by the script needs to be on the maingrid were the PB is

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:08pm

this is a problem for almost every script i used that had to do with WC

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:08pm

that made the script not see the weapon

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:07pm

it is the fact that i had the PB on a sub grid but the weapon was on the main grid

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:06pm

found the problem

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:02pm

but other script i use this weapon with works fine and it gives the target data

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:57pm

might be linked to the weapon definition, WC weapons can provide targets if they are defined as such. Maybe certain weapons do not provide it.

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:56pm

yes the fire

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:56pm

but then why does the 800m range turret trigger the script for a ship that is 2km away and the other ship that has a 3Km range weapon does not trigger it?

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:55pm

that is strange, and when you enable weapons do they fire?

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:54pm

but i have to ships with the script but only 1 of them sees the other

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:54pm

any threat level should trigger it, I have no distinction in the code, if turrets can fire, alarm gets triggered

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:54pm

the sound i mean

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:54pm

yes it dose now

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:53pm

back to my other question what lvl does the threat needs to be for the script to trigger?

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:53pm

:D ok, so it works?

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:52pm

for what ever reason

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:52pm

it was the fact that the soundblock was not set to me xd

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:50pm

also check the sound block distance, sometimes it is not heard correctly when set to default 50 meters

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:48pm

yes and i did not try that will do now

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:44pm

do you have underscore and not a space there? Also try assigning another group and changing the name in the script, just to be sure.

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:40pm

no i the script sayes there are no soundblocks in the default group but i have 1 sound block in there with a sound selected

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:39pm

does it only trigger when the threat is 9?

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:37pm

that is the default, but you can rename it in the script to whatever you use

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:36pm

group ALARM_SOUND ?

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:28pm

but i wanted to use the sound block but it sayes there are no soundblocks in the group i have a sound set

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:27pm

nvm i know why now the target was Threat 0

BookBurner [author] 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:20pm

Hey, do you have anything bound to the groups? Try using in on something simple, like ALARM_LIGHTS and add some lights to that group. They should be off when no enemies are nearby. Once you encounter the enemy, they should light up. You can simulate it in creative by creating a battery + decoys and then transfer it to pirates for example.

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:03pm

script sayes on screen all clear in the bottom

AN Marc Appledash 18 Jul, 2022 @ 12:01pm

hello i have a problem with the script

it looks like it does not fine the enemy and does nothing i have WC in the save with a WC Northwind weapon but the script sayes all clear do i need ot do something special to get it to work or?

Sanguin 14 Jun, 2022 @ 5:04pm

thank you very much good sir

BookBurner [author] 14 Jun, 2022 @ 8:21am

hmmmmmm, it is, I now added the trigger when the alarm starts

but that looks more like a thing for the integration with the ON OFF groups, to have something like an option trigger_timers=true and when a timer is in the on / off group it gets triggered. But that is a bit bigger logical change

KampKounslr 14 Jun, 2022 @ 7:27am

Question: Is it possible to have a trigger for when all targets are lost? Such as, we win the battle, I want to trigger a timer to play Fun Music on my Jukebox and turn off a bunch of stuff I don't need outside of combat.

BookBurner [author] 14 Jun, 2022 @ 3:44am

no worries, will update it today :)

Sanguin 13 Jun, 2022 @ 11:15am

I feel a separate group would be more widely applicable. apologies for getting back so late, busy day lol.

BookBurner [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 8:08pm

Which is the one you would like to see more?

BookBurner [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 8:07pm

Sanquin: It is possible to add it in one of two ways
a) have timers trigger when in the ALARM_ON group
b) have ALARM_TIMER group, which triggers assigned timers

Sanguin 12 Jun, 2022 @ 1:09pm

Is there any way to have this trigger a timer? Some of the weapons I am using have a long animation so they look kinda broken when turned on or off via this script.

BookBurner [author] 5 Apr, 2022 @ 3:48am

updated to recent core systems version

BookBurner [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 2:06am

But I am now working on other issues for our server, so It might take a while

BookBurner [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 2:05am

Shaemous known issue, I have to rework it to properly connect to up to date core systems
