Searchlight are stationary installation for shining light outside of the submarine.

Function

Searchlight can be useful for illuminating the deep dark waters. It casts light in a long narrow cone towards where the Searchlight is aimed, useful for seeing potential targets or generally for observing the submarine's surroundings.

To operate the Searchlight you need to have a crewmember manning a Periscope. Only one crewmember can operate a Periscope at a time. In the submarine editor, the Periscope's position_out pin must be wired to the Searchlight's position_in pin. The connected Searchlight is aimed using a crosshair that replaces the mouse when interacting with the Periscope (like a turret) and can be exited with a left click. The light can be toggled using the toggle_state wiring pin or it can be set via the set_light pin.
