Been awhile so not really to sure.

This looks really nice. How many Guardian PDS are you using in your demo vid there?

Had someone else look at the weapon specifically but he couldn’t find anything weird with it either

I’ll send it to the author but I don’t think there’s enough info to really get an idea of what’s wrong

Okay haven't gotten the same error, but with me cleaning up the server plugins and going over all the logs. Getting the following error spammed in the Keen.log file.

at AnimationEngine.AnimationEngine.TickObject(CoreScript script, Int32 time)
23:18:02.6131 [DEBUG] Keen: AnimationEngine: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Yeah just lemme know if you get it again. Seems like a rare occurrence

Not entirely sure why it did bug out in the first place. I can send you the Keen log if you want.
But so far, hasn't occurred again, so maybe put this on hold until it occurs again.
For WeaponsCore I'm using the following.

WeaponCore - Replace Vanilla Weapons
WC - XMA-41 Guardian PDS
WC- VXM-08 Multi Launch Missile System
WC Handweapons
MA WeaponCore Weapons

And of course using Defense Shields - v2.2(8)

So its not something easily repeatable? I got a few people lookin at it to see if its something about the way the weapon is setup or if its the engine itself but not sure if it will yield any results if its a rare event

Taken a look. The AnimationEngine.log is empty, even checked the previous backups.
This is on a server running on Torch.
The bug only occurred once so far.

So this is from the Keen log and not the animation engine log correct? If so would it be possible to get the animation engine log as well?

ill look into it thank you

Random bug. It spammed the Keen log file within 2 hours making the file bigger than 1GB.

These only target missiles, players, and meteors.

Not sure if this was mentioned previously, but it seems that these do not currently target grids within their range of 2500 even though there is an option to have them do so in their settings. I'd hope they target everything and anything apart from missiles only, if I wanted them to - and from a minimum distance of 0 or 1.

Its the MinDistance. Its set to 75 for missile targeting reasons but I forgot wolves and spider spawn pretty close to the player so it causes it to not target them

Ok they work now... but i dont really know why.

I changed 2 things first i went into the workshop folder and changed in PDCTurret_WeaponPart.cs the targetdef Threats to include grids, neutrals and changed the MinTargetDistance from 75 ro 15.
second i took out another weapons mod so that only your modpack and weaponcore was in the save.

and right after loading in the turrets wnet brrrt to kill a wolf right next to that i did not even notice was there, i saved, closed the game lookt into the file again changes were still there and changed the targetdef back so what it was.
loaded in again and after a long wait the next wolf that ran to me was shot.
so either the game/mod is playing with me, the other weaponpack made shenanigans or the mindistance had something to do with it )because the wolves might had snuck in and then were to close for the turret.

Unless you made local files I don't think any changes you make will take effect. ill ask some people and see

there is and its on.
i dont have much knowled with modding but i tried looking into the scriptfiles and added neutral to the targetdef for now to test but can only test that after work today... maybe it helps maybe not.

They are set to target characters as well but I guess wolves and spiders don’t fall under that. Is there not a target biologicals option in the control panel?

I like the look and Love the sound... but is there a way to make them target wolves/spiders too ?

Working next to my truck and getting swarmd without them giving any about it is a bit of a downer.

@McCloud Jr I have fixed the issue

the gun make brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sounds interesting

Oh we just have a handful of aggressive NPC mods and I may have a high environment hostility

He's was a little worried when I showed him the mod listing

Yeah it’s not to much of an issue as long as it does it’s main purpose. What happens in the nightmare scenario?

Far enough at least it does what its main purpose is and that's taking down missiles. So I can work my way around it.

Haven't tested it with meteors yet, but here's hoping that keen bug doesn't affect that.

Anyway thanks for looking into this, my friend and myself using several of your weapon mods for playing a nightmare scenario.

He replied back with just "keen" so take that as you will I suppose

Did a little testing myself and got some weird results. No damage like you said BUT if you copy paste the grid it will show damaged blocks from where it got hit. Gonna go ahead and say this isn't a bug I can fix on my end and its an issue with weaponcore. So I will let darkstar aware of the issue

after deleting the mod within the folder

reloading the world

and turning the small grid into the space pirate faction

The Guardian still does no damage to grids

I put multiple reloads into a small grid chunk and there was no damage.

the rounds where not going through it more like the armor was acting like a black hole

I'll try again by deleting the mod folding and forcing a re-download. That might fix it. I'll make another comment if it does it again or if the problem is fixed

It should be able to damage anything but it won't track everything. It targets only missiles,people, and meteors

ok stupid question

I'm testing this out before I start in a world with it and have noticed something interesting or maybe its a bug

This weapon doesnt damage grids Station, Large Grid, Small Grid


So finally to my question; Does this weapon only damage missiles leaving grids unharmed or is this a bug?

I dont like using modded weapons because they tend to change the balance of the game too much. But this... this thing is perfect. It doesn't do too much damage to the point of being OP, but it still does plenty to deal with missiles. Perfect. Love the work Killerbee has done!

The Aryx ones, the whole setup is very expanseish, using the retractable MCRN PDC right now, but they stick out very much, always that close call between enough and crowded ; ) Thx for reply : )

Hmm not sure. I may add a bigger upgraded kinetic pdc in the future. I was pretty ok with the damage as I didn't wanna make it to good and then nobody use the APES pdc. What missiles are you using with it?

Hi, I really like those PDC so far, they look nice, they dont mess your whole design, and they sound really cool.
The only thing that bothers me is their damage is so low, that when using them against some if not most mod missiles they take so many shots to destroy a missile that they stop being a viable option.

Do you see a way to increase that damage a bit ? Would be awesome ; ) anyway thx for your work o/

Yeah its based on the ammo itself not the weapon firing it.

So Damage is based on the ammunition and not the weapon then? That's what I figured the answer was I just wasn't sure.

All weapons I have rn are currently in the TIO Weapon Pack. If I use the gat ammo then I can't edit it in anyway without it also effecting the gatling turret. My ammo for my three weapons use specific damage modifiers and some settings the gats don't use

I notice a lot of people do that adding and making their own ammo for weapons like these. I am surprised more don't just use the vanilla Gatling ammo for weapons so similar in design. Is there a specific reason you don't?

ok I figured it was something like that. Is this weapon included in your TIO weapon pack at all?

I made the Auto Cannon, Thunderbolt, and PD use the same ammo in a update to try and remove the amount of different ammos. I have more weapons coming out and don't want the ammo area in the assemblers to be a giant confusing mess so I am trying to compress where I can

ok out of curiosity. Why do you have this requiring Vulcan Auto Cannons.

Nah I didn't base it off anything. Just my own imagination

did turn out to be a mod problem, works now perfectly fine, did you base the model off of the AK-630?

Sure you can modify it locally. I expect it will shred small grid unless you lower the small grid damage modifier

Hey Killerbee, this is my favourite turret of all; love it. The sound is awesome! If I wanted to modify it locally to also target e.g. small grids, is that possible? I don't get attacked with missiles often enough and I miss hearing the gun firing.

Everything seems to be working as it should and its targeting everything. Are you using any other weapon mods? Also make sure you don't use separate uploads and the pack at the same time

Ok thanks

Alrighty I’ll test it later and see what’s up. I think wc had a update so it may of changed something
