There is a post made with the same title. Says the issue has been solved and archived. It is not solved and shouldn't be archived.

Search light continually does not follow friendly characters on official dedicated KEEN servers.

This issue still persists after the Automaton update. However, in my case, they were working for a while, but then stopped working altogether out of nowhere. This was encountered in a server I am currently renting.

I would like to include that they tracked absolutely nothing, not just characters.

Update:


I found that searchlights seem to be only broken for static grids. I placed one on a small grid ship, and that searchlight was tracking it's target just fine. I then placed one on a large grid ship that was stationary (not static), and that too, worked fine with tracking.

I really hope this post isn't brushed under the rug like the other one about the same issue. There's most certainly a glitch present.

I can confirm this.

Searchlights on a Static Grid don't work, searchlights on a Small Grid that is Connector-locked to a Static Grid don't work, but as soon as said Small Grid is unlocked from the Static Grid they start working.

Except, now that I have reconnected my Small Grid to my Static Grid the searchlight still works. Weird.

This is still occurring (searchlight is set to target everything and anything, and have idle movement. it just points forward without moving).

Doesn't matter if it's small grid or a static grid. Searchlight will not target anything. Reloaded world multiple times, tried with scripts both on and off. It just doesn't seem to want to work on dedicated server.
