Hi there I was wondering if its possible to enable the sensor to have 2 reverse actions in a single sensor? Main idea behind it is to make an auto open/closing hinge door rather than having multiple sensors conflicting with one another. But would also have some other practical uses as well.

The mod is little more than an XML tweak, it still uses vanilla code and models and such. If, however, something like the XML structure has changed, that'd definitely break the mod. I'll see if I can find out what happened.

Sensor no longer works

Little correction turning "owner" detection on of fixes it.

I think the sensor has a bug which the vanilla dont has.

I set up the sensor to detect any kind of player: "owner, friendly, neutral and enemy" but the sensor shows red like I'm not in the range while I'm standing infront and the range is 70 ,62 , 20, 62, 112.3 and 20.3. So I really am in the range and it should detect me.

Only if I switch player detection off/on it turns green and does what it has to trigger.

I'm looking for a sensor that can detect up to 5km away so I can use it to activate/deactivate my turrets and open/close my hanger doors

@Tommy UK thanks, but im specifically looking for sensors, basically just to build traps
Tommy UK 20 Feb, 2020 @ 10:04pm 
there is a mod that creates a map of your ship, on multiple axis, in wiregram style, showing doors open and damage states of blocks. Dont know what the hell it was called now tho...

Anyone know of any mod that gives you more sensor options like "Detect Shots Fired" or "Detect Blocks Damaged"

What is the block type ID for this? I want to use it for some advanced drone scripting, but I want to limit its use on my server to reduce lag.

I picked this up but the max range I can set it for is 500m
Tommy UK 20 Sep, 2018 @ 1:23pm 
We'll monitor the lag siuation and possibly try switching to laser sensors to see what difference there is. Thanks for the prompt response.

It'll still work, it's just an XML edit. It'll also probably still cause considerable lag, sadly.
There are also mods for increased Laser Sensors, these may be better for multiplayer.

Is this mod still operational in MP, and are there any known instances of it causing lag on MP servers?

@Captain Morgan
Probably, but I haven't a clue how to do it to be honest xD

Is it possible to add a slider to the sensor for in-game modification

@Jomil: It uses the default scanner behaviour, just on a larger range. Anything the stock sensor would pick up will show up on this one
Jomil 27 May, 2016 @ 7:46am 
Is this supposed to detect everything? I set it to detect enemy only And large ships and Small ships, and its lighting up like something is there
Timfa  [author] 16 May, 2016 @ 2:46pm 
@Jomil Should be, it's just an XML file editing pre-existing behaviour
Jomil 16 May, 2016 @ 2:15pm 
Is this still supported?
Supersonic Pixel Junkie 1 Dec, 2015 @ 2:56am 
Realistic, considering. Thank you.

the vanilla ones are a bitch in MP.... the Keen explanation of small range of sensors is that it lags da hell outta the game)))
Timfa  [author] 5 Nov, 2015 @ 10:35am 
Haven't tested it out in MP too much, did it have a big impact on your setup?
Gyro86 5 Nov, 2015 @ 9:59am 
is there any possibility to make sensor that doesn't kill the sim speed in MP with this kind of range?

Nice job!

Here is the link to the Super Sensor. :)
