Detecting damage to ship core

NormallyClosedSwitch

I was wondering if there was a way to detect damage done by other on the ship core. In a nutshell, a damage detector but for ship core. It would be usefull to have an entity AND an e2 equivalent.

A way to detect the entity who is damaging the core.

E2 equivalent:

@inputs CoreHealth
@outputs Damage TakingDamage
@persist CoreHealth
interval(250)
if($CoreHealth<0)
{
     Damage=$CoreHealth
     TakingDamage=1
     timer("warningduration",1500)
}
if(clk("warningduration"))
{
     TakingDamage=0
}

But that would not tell us WHO is currently assaulting our core with legions of Mjolnirs

Doesn't the Damage detector entity tell you who is shooting you?

There do seem to be a couple of weapons, like beams, that only reduce core health and don't seem to do normal damage.

Nah that's right, not every weapon makes normal damage, we tried some and none were detected by the damage detector.
