  Hi! I bring you a target finder. This is how it works: when you write to chat like this "target targetnamehere"
  

  @name Simple_Target_Finder
  @outputs Target:entity
  @persist Target:entity
  
  runOnChat(1)
  
  LS = owner():lastSaid():lower():explode(" ")
  if (chatClk() & LS[1,string]=="target" ) { 
  interval(100)
  hideChat(1)
  Target=findPlayerByName(LS[2,string])
  if(Target:isValid())
  {print(Target:toString())}}
  

  ..This one isn't even a tutorial sweet, its an e2 you're giving away, therefore this time I'm moving it where you had the other one and changing the name until you make it into a tutorial and tell me to move it back.

  True but since last update ship_core works only on #1 server.

  To make it so this is slightly easier to understand(it could be misunderstood that you can no longer target cores), I believe sweet is referring to my change to the entity name of the ship cores. It is now just "ship_core" instead of "ship_core_test", which would be caught with a wildcard anyways so just using "ship_core*" should work on both servers(or it did when I last checked, which was quite some time ago).
  
  On a side note: I'm waiting on dataschmuck to respond to my messages so I can update server 2.

  Sorry, I dont check my steam account very often. Use e-mail to contact me. I just logged into steam and replyed with the info, though, feel free to make any changes you wish to the server. Keep in mind it currently gets the addons to the clients via the workshop, not fastDL.
  
  The file that controls that is in addons\collection addons\lua\autorun\server
  
  this downloads all the current models/materials/sounds to the client, much faster than fastDL, with no file limit, and no need for them to figure out SVNs or Gits.
  
  Only downside is if an addon adds new content (excluding lua) the workshop addon needs to be rebuilt.
