Wired XYZ Beacon, Eject Input for Socket

[Doticatto]

The XYZ beacon entity has 3 inputs, X Y and Z, and can be linked to a beacon sensor. It lets you use GPS coordinates with the target finder system directly.

I also added a n Eject input to the socket entity.

To install the XYZ beacon just extract xyzbeacon.zip into your wire/lua folder.

For the updated socket just replace init.lua in gmod_wire_socket under entities.

EDIT:

A lot of people really don't understand what this addon does, so I'm going to explain it as best I can. It has 3 inputs, X Y and Z. If you have the X Y and Z coordinates of a target or location you want to use with a beacon sensor, but can't specifically target it, like a point on the ground for instance, input the coordinates of whatever place you want to target to the XYZ beacon. A good example of why you would use this is for targeting something that target finders can't track, such as if you want to bomb a place on the ground you found with a ranger. You then link the XYZ beacon to a beacon sensor just like you would a target finder, by right clicking the beacon sensor with the beacon sensor tool, then right clicking the XYZ beacon itself. I really don't think I can make it any more clear.

Why do I feel like I made that before... I probably never svn'd it :V

[drpepper]

Sweet! Can we get this into the svn?

[jamescorbett]

SVN please.

[drpepper]

This is the one of the greatest addons ever, is it in the svn yet? I have made so many things with it.

[Pyro-Fire]

SVN please.

Please for the love of god SVN I made a thread asking for this, except the way I was saying it was to add XYZ directly to the beacon sensor, but I'm fine with this method.

Thanks for making the link in my thread Doticatto!!!

EDIT
I can't download, upload to garrysmod.org please, unless its already in wire svn.

[hogofwar]

yeah all the downloads directly from this forum have gone wacky

[Aspras]

Isnt this the same as "Split X,Y,Z" of the beacon sensor..?

[drpepper]

I don't think so... with this awesome tool you can input x y z cords into the XYZbeacon and you can link a beacon sensor to it.
