Adjustable Ions and Prisms
This was heavily inspired by Piratesee‘s Painted Prisms and works alongside it, but technically makes it redundant …
Adds ion beam emitters and prisms in ‘8’ different colours.
These are handled by colour selection on the 2 new adjustable parts, hugely cutting down on part selection menu spam.
The parts do not touch the vanilla pieces at all, but draw all their values from them, so mods affecting the base game parts should affect these too. The new parts are free after purchasing the base-game equivalent in career mode.
They will also be usable in Build and Battle by selecting the vanilla Ion Beam.
Ion beams pointed through the prisms will be coloured the same colour as the prism.
All colours are shown in the screenshots.
- SHOULD work correctly if mixed with vanilla emitters and prisms, but those are not a requirement
- If adjusting the colour of a prism whilst it is active the beam might actually cut out. It should just need to be toggled off/on to resume firing correctly.
- If part of an extended chain the prisms in the middle of the chain need setting to [Target Only] mode for best results, and maybe also channelled/blocked in by armour. The LAST prism in the chain should be able to handle changing the entire chain ‘output’ mode (Target Only, Hold, FireAtWill, Continuous)
- I highly recommend designing your ‘ion core/path’ in TargetOnly mode.. and then using groups/selection to only aim the last prism in the chain …
- … because sometimes the chain, just, breaks. And all prisms try to target the enemy themselves, and I have no idea why … 🙁
- Should not be continuously auto-firing when a prism is placed in front of an emitter anymore, but more testing required ….
Here are some other similar mods by me;
Adjustable Shields
Adjustable Fighters
Huge thanks to Piratesee for the original inspiration and Tyrosr for the required coloured part toggle mod.
