User-controlled searchlight possible?
 

A quick question for experienced modders - is it possible to install a user-controlled (working) searchlight on the boat's conning tower? I'm thinking of something that would preferably be plugged in on a pedestal mount in addition to the flak and deck gun. If not, one that would replace a single flak position or the deck gun. It'd be useful for conducting early-war inspections of lone merchants at night - I just had an encounter with a coastal tanker about 200km out of Wilhelmshaven. Turned out to be Dutch-flagged, and I only spotted this about three hundred metres off her port quarter.

Cheers.

Not a modder here, mate. But my guess is "No"!

That was discussed a years ago IIRC!:hmm: With the same result!

So they said about AI subs....

On pseudo-AI (as ship) sub's - searchlight no prob's ...

[quote=Anvart]Well IIRC when the Open Hatch Mod was done they were able to add interieur lights to any object. So if someone could add a search light mounted on the flak that would turn with it, it would be a step in the right direction. Question is: can only normal lights be added or searchlights as well?

[quote=Woof1701]I think you maybe on to something attaching to existing things that work maybe an excellent work around

Anvart,

do you think it is possible, to built a rocket launcher Hedge Hog on the sub, or is it also hard coded?

[quote=Woof1701]:lol:
These are absolutely different situations ...
In an interior there are all (objects and controllers) to make additional "light sources" ...
But to make controllable searchlight on human sub - it's fantasia ...

[quote=chris]On pseudo-AI sub's - no prob's ...
I did it, when searched a way of launch of torpedos from AI sub's ...

[quote=Anvart]
I was sure that you have tried it, Anvart!
Arghh...:damn: so there is absolute no way to start the Kriegsmarine secret project "Ursel"!?

Thanks for your report.
