@RougeSable this mod was created in the days before the locked target lead indicator was a vanilla feature of the game.

I'm not sure to get the purpose of the mod, is it a target to fire instead of the real ship?

That depends. In this and most cases yes. As long as modders are using the default weapons framework keen designed. Weapons that use custom weapon APIs such as Whips Railguns will likely not be accurate. Fortunately most of these mods are hit scan or nearly hit scan so it is not an issue.

This mod will work on 95% of existing weapons.

Is this compatible with mods that alter the velocity of projectiles, such as https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1915904695 ?

Is it at all possible to have a projector hollow gram, that could act as a lead indicator? Via ingame script?

Yeah it has really nice visuals. This mod is still useful as it is way more performance friendly. Their code is poorly optimized, or at least was when it was first released.

There is a mod called "Target Lead Indicator"
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1762161440&searchtext=Target+lead+indicator

Railgun turrets have a range of 1m set to the ammo type because they create and manage their own projectile. This makes lead indicators not work for them.

Yes all turret blocks get this functionality. Do note if the turret block uses an ammo type with a very limited range it will not work well.

Lead indicator is dependent on the maximum ammo range + 100m

Vanilla NATO 25mm gatling rounds have a range of 800m meaning lead indication is only displayed at 900m

would this work with modded guns?

Oh sweet, my bad. I should have read the description more thoroughly. Sorry.

Vakarian. The other mod is both. You should not use both mods together.

Sweet, thanks. Just a suggestion if you aren't opposed to the idea but maybe you could merge these two? Not really essential but it is more convenient.

Due to popular demand i have created another mod with fixed gun support. See description.

Would it be possible to make a version of this that puts up a TLI for Fixed weapons, maybe using cameras or sensors?

This works like a treat

I do believe that whip's script allows you to edit the velocity that is accounted for. If you can find the bullet velocity of your weapon and put that in the field it should work as a DIY Hunter/Killer system but aiming it manually will not have a lead indicator (not an accurate one anyways)

@blub9529 Vakarian is correct. you would need to use a turret with the same kind of weapon as the playermade turret.

Should work but I doubt it will be very accurate since the lead indicator is probably looking for the bullet velocity of the interior turret and not whatever weapon you have slaved to it.

Is it possible to combine this with a Turret-Slaving script? As in, i want to control an interior turret while a custom built turret is slaved to it?

Thanks for clarifying, I was worried it would conflict. I hope more people notice this wonderful mod because it just makes sense given the technology in space engineers.

This uses the built in GPS system and leads the target using the gun barrel position as the reference point. A camera mod would need to render turret targeting unusable for it not to work

Does this conflict with other mods that alter the camera/view?
