Detector Ray (ERAY)

    NAME IS CHANGED TO SRAY (sensor ray)

    DESC: Sensor ray. Creates a spark if its ray hits a particle.

    Color: FF8000 (orange)

     

    When activated by pscn, it will fire a beam (like ARAY) and the SRAY will spark conductors near itself if the beam hits anything. You can also set the CTYPE to make it only detect a certain type of particle.

     

    Basically, it acts like DTEC, except it fires a beam and checks the particle at the end of the beam.

     

    It can be used in targeting systems and other sensors.

    boxmein's fork of TPT already has ERAY but I'm not sure whether it's going to be added to official or not. This does seem like a nice element though, and would definitely open up quite a few possibilities for sensors and other assorted targeting equipment.

     Property setting rays are on the rejected elements list, so they most likely won't be added.

     

    I guess I'll have to change the name, then...

    How about SRAY, for sensor ray

    I am curious, what would happen if the CTYPE is set to BRAY?

     The universe would end

     

     

    or maybe it would just not detect its own bray (it would have a tmp2 of 1, or something.)
