anyone up to fixing this? I would really really like to use it...
Starry Jun 7, 2019 @ 5:04am 
no
Engi Jan 10, 2017 @ 9:44am 
Is this still working? I'm not getting any text on screen indicating targeting a system.
Engi Nov 28, 2016 @ 12:04pm 
With the new changes to the cameras, can they now be used for targeting?

@DraygoKorvan All credits go to @TIGeR. I just happen to have a talent for interpreting what google translate spews out... my gift, my curse...
DraygoKorvan  [author] Jul 1, 2016 @ 1:02pm 
Thanks for the find Marcelo ill have to probably brainstorm with digi over this issue.
Marcelo ACFM Jul 1, 2016 @ 7:30am 
@Spatium I am not totally sure :P
DraygoKorvan  [author] Jun 29, 2016 @ 6:37pm 
Probably something to do with it being a non-physics object hrm.

@Marcelo
So if I use Digi's helmet mod I just need to be in a pressurised room with my helmet off?
Marcelo ACFM Jun 28, 2016 @ 12:01pm 
I got what @TIGeR was saying. Is a conflict with Digi's helmet mod. Since the helmet piece in that mod is an ingame object that floats right over the viewpoint of the character, when a player uses your turret control mod to target what he/she is looking at, the mod targets the helmet and it crashes, both client and DS. We ran the test in our dedicated server.
Snøfler Jun 19, 2016 @ 2:26am 
Yeah they do. Not really sure what it is, but the turrets dont need ammo. I'll hop in and check if it works with a regular turret in the same save.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Jun 18, 2016 @ 6:04pm 
Do the energy weapons have scripting components, there is a possibility of a mod collision. The error is happening in the main game thread though.
Snøfler Jun 18, 2016 @ 5:50am 
It happens every time I release the ctrl button while using a turret. Could it be that it's because I use the energy turrets/weapons?
DraygoKorvan  [author] Jun 17, 2016 @ 3:40pm 
Doesn't look like it, that call stack does not run through my methods
Snøfler Jun 17, 2016 @ 10:49am 
Crashlog I believe is related to this mod: http://pastebin.com/XmNYG2PG

huh, it seems every time i quit space spaceengineers for a month or so someone has modded in the feature that made me quit by the time i get back.
MuffMuncher Jun 10, 2016 @ 1:30pm 
Hey how do I reset my turrets so they fire freely as normal after using the target setting
Kephyr DeBlini May 23, 2016 @ 8:37pm 
An option to target with a camera or rc block would be fantastic!
Engi May 11, 2016 @ 4:49pm 
That would be awesome, thanks.
DraygoKorvan  [author] May 11, 2016 @ 3:15pm 
KC, pray the devs actually add a zoom function to turrets?

Maybe i can look into allowing camera blocks to target as well - no promises though.
Engi May 11, 2016 @ 9:31am 
Is there a way to target systems with a camera as well as a turret? Currently I cannot see what I am targeting because there is no zoom and I can't see what system I'm aiming at when at range. I just keep randomly targeting different systems that I don't want too while trying to target turrets.
patoo May 4, 2016 @ 10:02am 
when i try to run this on a server, the server tells me that it is unable to download the mod, any suggestions?
KitsuneKas Apr 30, 2016 @ 8:01pm 
Yay, okay. So it stays on the list.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Apr 30, 2016 @ 8:00pm 
Yes, this is multiplayer ready.
KitsuneKas Apr 30, 2016 @ 7:22pm 
Quick question that didn't matter when I initially saw this, but does this have any effect on dedicated servers?
TiGeR Apr 22, 2016 @ 12:09am 
Actually it is in my collision with the modification "Helmet - first person helmet glass with 3D HUD" script tracks an helmet on and off the game off :) modification of the helmet restored the proper operation of this modification.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Apr 21, 2016 @ 8:50pm 
They target any non-armor block. Thrusters for example do not have computer components but this mod will target and shoot them.
Albino Noodle Apr 21, 2016 @ 4:51pm 
Can you have the turrets target any block (such as armor) or would they have to be blocks
that turrets would normally target that contain electronics?

Pretty awsome either way.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Apr 20, 2016 @ 3:57pm 
TiGer crash log? and i dont quite follow what your saying.
TiGeR Apr 20, 2016 @ 10:43am 
Hello.
Unfortunately, after the last update modification closes the game after trying to exit from view when the camera will use the ctrl key :(
Anneke ⁧⁧[Aardwolf] Apr 20, 2016 @ 6:31am 
@ Author (DraygoKorvan)
hello, could you make a mod like a mouse targetting? :Neko:
Ω Spriggan Ω Apr 19, 2016 @ 12:17pm 
Target enemies.....weapons. :D
don't want to damage the ship i'll be using now would we?

OnionBreath Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:04am 
(by combat with fighters, I mean it would make fighters attacking turreted vessels even more gimped than they are, balance-wise)
OnionBreath Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:03am 
I must say, while I like this, it sounds like it'd make combat with fighters even more difficult. How does this work around decoys?
Marcelo ACFM Apr 17, 2016 @ 11:14am 
Also CMD Bob´s weapons pack comes with a target designator, pretty much like the camera from Darth Biomech. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=499117155
El Marco Apr 16, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
@ dennis.danilov

Try

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402364310

It is a camera on a turret but the mod was made by making it actually a wepaon, it shoots "bullets" with 0 damage.

Should work perfectly for this mod. :)
JD.Horx Apr 16, 2016 @ 10:19am 
Awesome stuff, always hoped to see something like this from keen by the time now. But whatever... They are busy with optimization.
A dream come true would be a cannon control like in World of Warships, however that is a bit much to ask for... :)
SievertChaser Apr 16, 2016 @ 8:04am 
I was sort of hoping for a dedicated block that does it, but, anyway...

Anyone willing to make a non-shooting target designator turret?
KitsuneKas Apr 15, 2016 @ 6:30pm 
At one point there were only a couple mod authors that I really watched with great interest, but with the mods you've been releasing recently, you have been added to my list of mod creators who seem to fundamentally change the game in a good way.

Keep it up.
Anubis4123 Apr 15, 2016 @ 4:34pm 
I'm gonna follow now lol
Anubis4123 Apr 15, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
One more homerun for DraygoKorvan! Your mods are so good that devs actually should request you to program them into the vanilla game. Keep it up!
Robotkisser Apr 15, 2016 @ 10:42am 
works really nice with the surviliance camara mod!
Fatsack Apr 14, 2016 @ 4:05pm 
Such shoot, so target, much amaze, wow!
flori1994 Apr 14, 2016 @ 2:39am 
Kc pilot turrets have a camera dummy.
Engi Apr 13, 2016 @ 6:35pm 
It's amazing there is not field of view control for turrets. I mean how does the game know what to show on the screen when viewing a turret? It has to be there somewhere.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Apr 13, 2016 @ 6:32pm 
Sadly I havent found a way.
Engi Apr 13, 2016 @ 6:32pm 
Is there still no way to add zoom when controlling a turret? It is really hard to tell what you are targeting quickly unless you are within rock throwing distance from your tarket, or the target is really big and all the things you want to target are really spread out.
jb_aero Apr 13, 2016 @ 1:28am 
Probably, they seem to ignore them in vanilla unless there are no terminal blocks to shoot.
DraygoKorvan  [author] Apr 12, 2016 @ 2:22pm 
I don't actually know. I think they will.
