Sub-components

The Laser Designator is a device used primarily in combination with torpedos to guide them towards a target.

Basic information

• Laser Designators need to hit a target in order for the torpedo laser sensor to update their fields.
  
• The Laser Designator fits into the utility tool body 2 only.
  
• Currently the Laser Designator functions without a powersupply.
  
• Connecting the Laser Designator to a powersource will randomly reset its active field to 0.
  
• A torpedo linked to a Laser Designator can use the aquired fieldinformation to guide itself towards the tip of the laser using yolol.
  

Device fields

YOLOL field	description	range
Active	Turns the laser designator on/off	0 - 1
LaserLength	The maximum length of the beam. Measured in meters.	0 - 1000
IdentifierId	What torpedo laser sensors connect to when IdentifierId is the same. Both strings and numbers can be used.
TargetFound	1 if the designator is hitting a surface, otherwise 0.	0 - 1
