Pylon Script for Revived Large Ship Railguns

Description
Pylon Script for the Revived Large Ship Railguns mod

Based on my Pylon Script for CSD Battlecannon Long Range mod

Grid Aiming System
  • works without setup, as always
  • works well for aiming to the moving grids
  • works with groups of pylons
  • pylons can work in the stealth mode
  • pylons can be attached on static objects
  • pylons returns to their positions
  • any pylon having the camera can operate for all
  • damages of any pylon will be send for all, as report to the Log

Requirements

Any pylon must have at least one of
  • Grid Controller (Remote Control or some Cockpit, IMyShipController)
  • Antenna
  • Program block
At least one Pylon must have Camera block for raycasting, best way 4-6 cameras
And, if the pylon have a cannon, it can shoot - any number of cannons, but arranged to the one direction

Revived Large Ship Railguns mod is required

Has this been broken? I'd understand since it's been 3 years now

Hello, yes, a sample world will be good.

Looks like a very interesting script.
However I am too stupid to make it work.
I am using your sample probe and pylons, which I armed with the Large Ship Railgun instead of the Battlecannon and updated the scripts of the programmable block with this one. However the script keeps renaming the probe to "Pylon". What am I doing wrong?
Would it maybe be possible for you to publish a sample world?
