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 power supply.
  
• Connecting the Laser Designator to a power source will randomly reset its active field to 0.
  
• A torpedo linked to a Laser Designator can use the acquired field information 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
