Long-term activation

[jeremyfortytwo]

I need a form of (automated) activation that can fire guns properly (without stopping, & not in bursts) & that can sustain the charge-up a minigun needs. The only way I’ve found to replicate this is through manually taking the item & holding down F.
The activation toggle does NOT work for what I am trying to do because it seems to rapidly send out many activations rather than sending out a single, unending one, which means it cannot get past a minigun’s charge-up.

Is there a way to do this in game or a mod that introduces it?

idk but but there is key trigger. that activates if you press a key and it can hold too.

Place a metronome that has been set to 10 or higher than,connect the Metronome to gun using Green Propagation Wire and activate the Metronome.

Key Trigger needs manual interaction to function. Even if a key is held, it produces bursts of activation signals that do NOT make a minigun fire.

A metronome produces bursts of activation signals; its speed is irrelevant since no matter how high it is, it will only be bursts. It will not make a minigun fire, & when I was testing this, it would not even make a minigun rev up audibly even once, which even the key trigger could do.

Before it’s mentioned, the activator electrode can make a minigun fire but is still unusable for this because it requires manual, unending interaction for its effect to be unending, & all the methods I know of interacting with it automatically would need to produce a held activation, defeating the purpose of using it in the first place.

I've hooked one up to a minigun and it would perpetually flicker in and out of its charge-up, which means it does not.

The activation toggle sends a continuous signal. You can test this by hooking the same toggle to another gun. The main issue is that the minigun is just uniquely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in a way that it can't fire perpetually using anything other than player input. I don't know why, nobody else knows why, and honestly, I don't want to know why. It just does.

You have to find an alternative to the mini-gun that doesn't have a start-up period.

problem is that the minigun will randomly stop

It's interesting. I tried to recreate this and it did work, in a sense. It worked enough to make it fire, but was still unstable, leaving gaps in the minigun's fire rate. I'm still interested in a mod or technique that can fix or bypass this, though, since this isn't quite what I need or am looking for still.
