Sensor Issue

Peter shared this bug 2 years ago
Solved

Hi hard to explain but I’m on Xbox and I’ve just started having this issue where the sensor is working fine apart from when detecting asteroid/VOXEL it seems to detect it to soon, for example I can sent all directions to 0.1 and it will say there sense asteroid/voxel when there isn’t, I’ve tried uninstalling and installing the game still doing the same thing, Thankyou

Hello Engineer,

we couldn't reproduce the issue on our side. Is it happening on Single Player for you or only on DS/Lobby? Is it happening on any blueprint for you or only on specific ones? If latter, could you upload it to mod.io and share a link in this thread?

Any additional information would help.

Thank you,

Kind Regards

Thanks for getting back to me much appreciated, im Unable to upload anything till weekend not at home at the moment, ive been using single player creative mode, I’ve been making a multi planetary Space X styled starship that’s fully automated, been working on it for few months now, and I use the sensors to make a smooth landing, the problem seemed to have started since the last update, for example, I could be 10 meters from the ground(asteroid) and the sensor will be set to detect asteroid at 0.1 meters and it will set the sensor off when there is no asteroid in range if I’m a lot further away it won’t sense it, but it’s working fine when detecting everything else, I’ve tried starting new games etc and still does it thanks pete

Here is a example when asteroid is in range of sensor supposed to turn light on and as you can see it turns on before sensor reaches ground

Just to add to this, the issue appears to impact both the Xbox and PC versions of the game; but only the Large Grid version of the sensor.

When testing it, it looks like the Large Grid version of the sensor is adding ~15m to the sensor range when it is set to detect Asteroids/Voxels. For Example, if the Sensor is set to 5m in all directions, it starts triggering at 20m; if it is set to 2.5m in all directions, it starts detecting at ~18m; etc.


Oddly, the Small Grid version of the sensor appears to be working as expected.


Thanks!
