i asked for offset function, it wont be added
but if you can use unsafe env, you can replace laser by raycast function

For the laser module, is it possible to make it ignore the entire creation its placed on or make it offset somehow? I want to place the laser on the inside of a creation but on a seperate body so it can spin without the outside of the creation blocking the laser

@Kop4eny I am pretty sure we wont be adding that as our new ui theme wont work with it. Also that we've entirely reworked the computer for the upcoming V3 update and that we kinda dont wanna touch it (due to its complexity)

I have a slightly unusual request — could you please make the HUD in "computer" transparent, or add an option to disable it?

I've looked at the pull request, will fix later. I am way too lazy right now.

I'm working through trying to fixing it. I'll make a pull in a bit.

I can't use `display.drawText()` on a multidisplay.

@кириешко For ID changing when the target loses blocks, well that makes sense as internally the target's creation gets destroyed into 2 creations. I am pretty sure they have different id's when they break meaning you will have to manage that yourself.

Radar's are not great for small targets and that's intentional to balance things out

For radars being unusable in supersonic speeds, technically a bug but i will call this a feature for balancing reasons.

We want things to be balanced and somewhat realistic. There was supposed to be a inertia drive which basically converted your creation to a spacecraft but that was too overpowered hence why the gravity controller exists meaning in order to make a flyer with ScrapComputers, you will have to do the math with math.pid and use thrusters.

TLDR: Balancing reasons and ID's change due to how the game handles destruction of creations.

also radar cant see supersonic speed targets, is it fixable or engine limitations?

and another question, is there any way to make radar detect small targets, like rockets. Even small degree radar cant see it on large distance
