Lernaea's Tesla Coils (Weaponcore)

Description
Requires DarkStar's Weaponcore. Without all of his hard work on weaponcore, this mod would not be possible.

Adds Command & Conquer style Tesla Coils to Space Engineers!

Huge shoutout to AutoMcDonough for allowing me to use his textures for the electric effect. I couldn't get it to look right without them.


Each tesla coil has 5 separate "barrels" which means they can possibly track 5 different targets at once. The power supply is the back, so face that away from the direction you want to click-to-fire in.

All sizes do 50% damage to shields but 200% damage to non armor blocks. 2 KM range for each.

Adds 2 sizes of tesla coils for each grid size.

Large Grid:
Small: 1x2x1 1000 DPS total
Large: 3x6x3 10000 DPS total


Small Grid:
Small: 3x6x3 600 DPS total
Large: 5x10x5 1000 DPS total

Emissive rings set to the color of the block. Just paint them to get the emissive color you want.

The arc is reaching targets and doing damage just fine for me. However, the arc is not being drawn properly, or perhaps not at all. I hear 'bzzt' sounds if the sound is in arcade mode, and hostile fighters flying around me take damage.

That said, this weapon really isn't suitable for anything resembling focused fire or rapidly taking down fighters or missiles. It is, however, excellent as a constant thorn in the side of enemies approaching your craft: blocks all over their vessel take small amounts of damage relentlessly so long as they're in range.

Honestly, if I were to keep the damage to size scaling the same, a 1x1 coil would only have like 111 dps. I just dont think its viable.

Greetings to you! I don't know if you are opened to suggestions or have plans for one of these...but a direct-fire one version of this for small grid in say 1X1X3 or smaller would be absolutely ideal.
