Laser Tools

Fair. Have a great day! I love your mod! <3

I probably could, but I wont.

Can you make it work with Fant Mod Skills?

I've thought of an easier way of doing it.
At the top of the file, there is a table that defines what collision types instantly kill the laser.

ProjectileManager.killTypes = {
terrainSurface = true,
terrainAsset = true,
limiter = true
}

A clean and simple way of disabling block damage is to add body collisions to it as well.

ProjectileManager.killTypes = {
terrainSurface = true,
terrainAsset = true,
limiter = true,
body = true
}

Now, the projectiles will destroy themselves when colliding with blocks and parts, without harming them.

which line in ProjectileManager.lua should I edit to disable block destruction? So far every attempt has just completely disabled the lasers.

There are no damage values, the script just deletes them outright. Do a search for the functions I mentioned earlier( destroyBlock , destroyShape ).

I've checked and changed every damage value I could find in all the json files and still the laser will infinitely destroy anything it touches. Having a comment for each function would help a lot with understanding them.

where can I find the damage value for placeable items (blocks, electronics etc)

I didn't make any really substantial additions, just a few small ones.

I've made multiple backups of my edit so I still have all the original values so nothing will be lost
