Need 8 identical solar panels, with different transform names

[linuxgurugamer]

Hi,

SXT has a part, Probodobodyne QUBC "Warbler",  which uses the model from Squad:

Squad/Parts/Electrical/radialFlatSolarPanel/model

8 times.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work well since the way the ModuleDeployableSolarPanel works is that it uses a transform (raycastTransformName) to determine exposure, etc.

Could some kind soul make me a new solar panel model, and duplicate it 8 times, changing the raycastTransformName and pivotName appropriately?

This would be greatly appreciated both by myself and players who use this part.

Thanks in advance

Looks like a welded part has it doesn't show any transformers on it and on the cfg why not like 

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleDeployableSolarPanel
		sunTracking = false
		raycastTransformName = suncatcher //Cylinder_002   // why not secondaryTransformName = suncatcher
		pivotName = Cylinder_002
		isBreakable = false
		resourceName = ElectricCharge
		chargeRate = 0.1
	}

 

like 

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleDeployableSolarPanel
		sunTracking = false
        secondaryTransformName = suncatcher
		pivotName = Cylinder_002
		isBreakable = false
		resourceName = ElectricCharge
		chargeRate = 0.1
	}

Because it will only catch the transform from the first model when doing the check for sun exposure, blockage, etc.

@linuxgurugamer Done. But the extra solar panel UI things that Kopernicus adds makes the PAW spam-filled. In the picture it's precisely angled so two of the transforms get solar exposure and that it charges at double rate.

There's now just 1 extra model welded in and not the previous 6. All transforms are uniquely named and working (at least while they're not allowed to rotate).

PR is open.

Thank you!!!!

@linuxgurugamer I updated the thing. It has just four rotating transforms now. The blind spot (above and below) problem is fixed.

Same link as before?

Never mind, I forgot you did a PR
