Wire Ranger range limit

The other day when i was building a radar on the server, i noticed the small range of wire rangers.

The radar (which btw, im not trying to put on a ship) had this really small range limit at 2000 but that is only near half a cruiser, (my size) so there is no way i could possibly build something useful that requires that much range.

The radar was supposed to be my warning system because on most maps you have a hard time looking into space through the atmosphere, i do admit it may be primitive and kinda useless when you think about it but building a radar isn't the only thing you can do with a ranger that requires plus 2000 range.

This is something i think will not destroy the server by changing but only helping players with their many projects.

Best Regards

    Its a wireteam thing, I told you that yesterday. Your best bet for anything related to standard wiremod changes is going to their github page and suggesting it.
    This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit.

    in the meantime you can use this glorious e2, which acts as a ranger in the direction of the red gear on the top of the entity
    @name space ranger
    @inputs 
    @outputs [E]:entity
    @persist 
    @trigger 
    
    interval(25)
    
    rangerFilter(entity())
    E = ranger(99999):entity()

    if you don't want it to point forward you can always use

    rangerOffset(Dist,Pos, directiion vector)

    or rangerHull( Dist, box size vector )

    Check all the documentation on http://wiki.wiremod.com/wiki/Expression ... -In_Ranger
