Weapons give logic signal when fired

[SapioiT]

Hi!
Please make so when a weapons computer fires it gives a logic signal!
I really want to have different weapons shooting at the same time! And since we can activate a weapon with a logic signal, why doesen't the weapon also gives off a logic signal? I mean, that IS a weapons COMPUTER, not a frying pan... it can do that much, and IRL (in real life) you'd be able to do that much...

You can use logic to fire a weapon by linking logic to the computer so you could go the other way.

But I can't find how to get a signal when a computer shoots it's weapons...

This has been suggested a lot of times. If I'm not mistaken, we should be getting hotbar logic though. The feature request for it in the tracker has been set to "in queue", so chances are we'll be getting it within the next update(s). But it's still old. Just don't see it as an "I don't like this" rating, because I really do.

Even if we are getting hotbar logic, it would still be nice to be able to do this. You can't lock-on with hotbar logic, for example.

Get with the times, Funnybunny! Old doesn't mean old anymore. That's an old way of thinking. Old means disagree these days! Curse you, @DukeofRealms , for cursing the forums with this confusion!

One cannot remove a meaning from a rating, one may just add more.

Fixed.

All neutral ratings have been disabled, further action on ratings will be taken some time in the foreseeable future.

A downvote type rating may be added, or something else entirely. For now, I will see how neutral ratings being disabled goes.

All "informative" ratings are now dislikes.

Thanks for the positive rating. Neutral ratings are disabled, not removed. They may be added back tomorrow, in a week or they never may come back.

This is what testing is for.

Back to the topic now.

EDIT:
My opinions as well as what is officially happening: http://starmadedock.net/threads/ratings-overhaul.4219/

Than "funny" is even more than "dislike"... something like "hate the idea"...

Na, because funny is actually used. I say Informative, and only informative.

Anyways! On the thread's topic: I totally agree. This could have so many applications, like a signal when a booby trap goes off or something. Good idea, +1

This would be really cool, I could make a ship shaped like a gun and have lights pulsing down the sides. On each side

But informative is used too. creative isn't used that often.

And on the topic:
It'd be useful, but was suggested many times already and can also be achieved by allowing activator-modules to be placed in the hotbar.

You can't use lock-on missiles with logic. So, there's still a use for this.

AFAIK one can, if the player in the core has locked onto an entity with a different lockon missile computer.

And how is one supposed to do that?
Make a video tutorial and youtube it for us, if you know how!

 

[Megacrafter127]

2 cooperating players

2 cooperating players

And how is only one player going to do that?

I personally would like to lockon and at the same time to fire in different directions (different rockets computers with the same lockon) or even shoot beams and cannons at the same time...
