ProperPants Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 +1 I couldn't find a way to rotate these either. Limits their usage to objects and walls along the top side of the screen.

NTSAM Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Look in the a-lathe, iirc. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/6803-allow-tripwire-assemblies-to-be-rotated/#findComment-57320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperPants Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Tripwire? Oh my I must have fun with thishow is it made Every grenade assembly is made by first taking an igniter (from an autolathe) and the object you want to attach to it. Assemblies I know can be made are mousetrap, tripwire, proximity, remote signal, and timer. All of these objects must be attached to an igniter, and they can all be found in the autolathe. You use a screwdriver on them until they are ready to be attached (both of them) then slap them together. Once you've made that, screwdriver the assembly to ready it, then attach it to an empty grenade casing (small ones are made from metal sheets, large ones from the protolathe). ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THAT, put in whatever beakers you want, then screwdriver the grenade-igniter-other object-chemicals assembly to have a finished bomb. The tripwire bomb (made from an infrared something-or-other), points a laser straight down once it is armed. You can set the laser to be visible, and if you do, you'll notice that the laser always points down—never left, right, or up. That's where our problem is.

Fox McCloud Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Did you actually try rotating the assembly before attaching it to the grenade. This isn't a tripwire assembly, it's an infrared assembly.

NTSAM Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Tomato toh-mah-toe. Tripwires make glowy red lasers, infrareds make glowy red lasers. And I wasn't the one using the thingy, some dude couldn't rotate it and he tried everything.

tastyfish Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 If you hold the infrared emitter in your hand, there's a verb to rotate it... although it looks like the sprites for the laser itself aiming east & west are missing.

IK3I Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Just a couple days ago I was using this and it seems to work in any direction but north facing. The key is to treat it like wire, where the direction you face directly affects the orientation of the object on the ground. That being said, it would be much better served if it worked like an atmos pump (place, orient, configure/activate) Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/6803-allow-tripwire-assemblies-to-be-rotated/#findComment-57993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
