@Nemui It's not a proper solution, but hook up a projector with a BP of a force field that comes on when the field is active.

I don't like that the force field is invisible. I can't tell if the force field is active without a visual effect over the field area

Gates go in the wrong direction

mod is fixed, working again for me

does this work still?

Still would be nice if there were a colour indicator for open or closed like the door's on/off mode.
Current green for safe (closed), red for unsafe (open)

Mod is broken since contact. Plz fix if possible, I use this mod extensively.

is broken

Is it just me, or is this mod broken since the contract update

anybody know how this works with the Water mod?

works great make sure all blocks above and below these are airtight and works fine only draw back is there no visual of it working want a true sci-fi feel may want to do something with a projector

it doesn't work, it let's out all of the air even when closed

These did not work well for me at all. They let the oxygen out into space behind Angled Hangar Doors mod. Not sure about other hangar doors or gates. Star Wars Hangar Field mod seemed to work fine with oxygen and the same angled hangar doors.

Should add some kind of visual effect when these things are working (if possible, and not easier said than done), it was very confusing to tell if it was working. Great mod though otherwise!

Are there any thoughts to doing this for small grid by chance???

It's a FORCEFIELD, meaning it allows players and craft through, but keeps the grid airtight at the same time!

well could u make a variant with visual effects?

okay i can walk through when there closed is that a bug?

The Forcefield Generator pair and passage are not able to be walked through. I tried putting a passage hall behind and in front to see if that fixed it and it did not fix it. Any way that i can fix this will be appreciated. thanks

To all desiring a visual indicator - I'd recommend implementing your own notification / status indicator. Its super simple!

really some tint to indicate the open and close

Can't tell when they're closed or not, no way to have the generators glow or something when "closed"?

Could be interesting to add coloring functionality, like the recolorable thrusters mod, for those who might want a visual effect. Could probably get the same thing using projectors in the meanwhile for people that want something.

@Sylver you are correct no visual effect.

So if im correct, this doesnt have a visual effect?

any way to get a small grid ver?

Your mod is handy

Hey @Harbinger Ace nice thing, and nice work in Outlands.
I have to agree with @EmuLegs and visual indicator if the field is up or down would be great, there is the metal bar just right in the middle, if that would instead light up it would be awesome.
Thanks for the work.

Thanks!

@Coro The power consumption is extremely low, yes.

@Dracksarien Not without scripting, no.

@Yull-Rete Done.

Is there any chance you could add a four-sided, three-sided and two-opposing-sided forcefield blocks to allow for 1-by-X doors?

Can you add an option (in the menu) where entities and objects CANNOT move freely when sealed?

Really really cool, please reconsider adding visual effects and id love to see the led strip be RED when they're open.

@Harbinger Ace, I read in an earlier comment of yours that the force field generators consume the same amount of energy as hanger doors (10W idle). I just want to make sure that this is the case, it seems too good to be true. Actually this mod is just amazing! I mean one can open hanger doors now with this generator and not lose pressure. How cool is that? Thank you for this!

@cynical Nerdist Most airlock scripts like Blarg's Aggressive Airlocks will affect anything with a door open/close option in it. Even the digital clock mod from what I have seen.

I have no plans to add scripted visual effects to these doors. I do not write scripts.

@Cynical Nerdist All hangar doors are placed open by default. It is not possible for a mod to change this.

Wish there was an actual visual effect for the shield. Also not sure why it wouldn't default to being enabled upon being placed. Kind of odd in my opinion.

Basically enjoying how this mod works in to the progression system over others, with realistic crafting costs for making them. Other then that some kind of visual version so you can call when there closed or open would be nice, even if it's just on the projector.

I agree with DlriumTrgger , an emissive change for open closed would be very cool on this. And i can also confirm what Scientwisted {Index} said, Whips works great on these

I found that if you have Whip's or Blargs airlock scripts, the force fields will close, so they are recognized and work like normal doors.

id love to see the led strip be RED when they're open. love this mod but the lights can be deceptive. hopefully a visual graphic too?

This PERFECT for the Star Trek aesthetic I've been going with for sometime now. Damn good job man. Any reason theres no small grid version?

@Comrad Elmo: did you read the description of the mod and then forced the blocks to "closed" mode after you built them?

I have issues with it and i'm trying to use them but my room isn't pressurizing, any idea?

Ah well, but still love the mod :)

Having looked at the code, I'm thinking it might take a bit of work to do that. If I look at other hangar door mods with visible parts, they all have different models for the different lengths. This one is quite ingenious as there don't appear to be any moving subparts. Sub-part animation on hangar doors is quite specific. You could duplicate the effect using WeaponCore that would give a field effect, but then each hangar door would effectively become a weapon. Failing that, you'd have to script the animation itself.

Is it possible to have a version with a visual effect to the field?

Despite DLC's out ruining the game and replacing quite a few favourite mods about, I am really glad to see the creative and epic talent that modders continue to show @Harbinger Ace

Thank you for this exceptional piece of content :D

@Harbinger Ace This is an awesome mod. Now I can have emergency force fields in all my starships.

Is the closing / opening pretty much instantaneous? That way I can set them to close as soon as a room's vent registers a drop in pressure.

Also, was it a conscious decision to not use a force field texture? I guess it makes it easier in that you don't need different sized sub-parts with appropriate textures applied, which would possibly mean having 25 different models.

i prefer to ask first since i have 238 mod overall and that not counting the 118 BP, so with that i have to ask question.

but thank to those anwser i can see this mod be use in the build i'm currently working on and would have been force to use a second set of sas type hangar door to keep me from having to "vent in air" from the air lock everytime i want to bring a LG ship or rover out .

As for the power question it would make sense that it draw more energy then vanilla door since unlike hangar door who have mass to prevent air and thing to pass throught and yours use energy to do this so it was a logical assumption to think that it would draw more power for them to operate..

again thank for your tume
