Wired XYZ Beacon, Eject Input for Socket 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.
