Instant build from projectors?

[Karmaterrorᵁᴷ]

OK so iv built a little platform and used rotors to get 2 small grid projectors onto it. The idea is that a player runs up to it, presses a button and it builds the ship. Heres a pic

Iv seen them doing this on the dev streams in a pvp map, but i have no clue how to make it work. Any ideas?

PS iv tried the spawn projection thing on a button but nothing happens :(

To actually build something from a projection, you need welders, unless there's been some recent change I missed which lets them do it automatically in creative mode?

Pointing a hand welder at any projected block (with necessary materials) will start building it.

Pointing a ship's welder at it should be much more effective, as they can weld several blocks deep, work on multiple at once, and can have a substantially larger inventory.

Maybe they did it with the visual scriptng tools, and i dont know how to use those. But they defo had vehicles just spawning from projection without welding anything. I really thought it was that spawn projection option but no go.

Alls i want to make is a really simple pve map where there is an large enemy base, and your base where you can grab a vehicle and head back into the fight quickly :)

Afaik, and judging from how i made my ship "printer" in survival mode, you need a setup similar to this:

The vid is from 2014, but such a setup still worked in late 2016, at least from my expirience.

It's scenarios only. Haven't the slightest idea how to do it, but it must be done in scenarios.

Ah yeah the good old printer option. Iv built many printers but its not quite what im after. Its sort of an instant action type scenario in my mind. Big enemy base, little outpost for players to respawn and instantly grab a ship. Think battlefield but against AI.
