HB's Satellites Compatability Mod
by holy_buckets
HB's Satellites Compatability Mod links the Satellites blocks to cannons, so a cannon can be aimed at a target chosen on a satellite display.
What it does
Players build a cannon, set its target from a Target Controller, and let the cannon turn toward that point by itself. The Target Controller goes next to the satellite array grid and must be powered and connected to a satellite. A Target Receiver Block can sit beside the Cannon Mount anywhere in a loaded chunk, and a right click on a location in the satellite holo-display sets the target.
Once the cannon has a target, the target button on the Target Controller starts the targeting process. The cannon then orients itself toward the target automatically. The fire button can still be used to shoot without waiting for the aim, so the cannon is not locked to the targeting step. The cannon's power depends on the munitions currently loaded, and the cannon needs a redstone signal to be constructed and loaded.
The mod is a compatibility layer between HB's Satellites and several other mods, including Aeronautics and Eshan's Missile mods. Hbs Satellites is required and must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License.
