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 [[Coilgun|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.
The Searchlights light can be toggled by:
*Connecting a {{Hyperlink|Periscope}}'s <code>trigger_out</code> to the Searchlight's <code>toggle_state</code> pin to toggle while operating the Periscope.
*Connecting a {{Hyperlink|Lever}} to the Searchlight's <code>set_light</code> pin to toggle while not operating the Periscope.

Searchlights are stationary installations for shining light outside of the submarine.

Function

Searchlight cast light in a long narrow cone towards where it is aimed, useful for seeing potential targets or generally for observing the submarine's surroundings.

A Searchlight is operated by Interacting (Default: Left Mouse) with a connected Periscope, and can be exited by Deselecting (Default: Right Mouse) it.

If the Searchlight is wired to be toggle-able, the user can also toggle its light on and off by Interacting (Default: Left Mouse) while operating the Searchlight.

Submarine Editor

A Periscope's position_out pin must be wired to the Searchlight's position_in pin to be able to operate it.

The Searchlights light can be toggled by:

  • Connecting a Periscope's trigger_out to the Searchlight's toggle_state pin to toggle while operating the Periscope.
  • Connecting a Lever to the Searchlight's set_light pin to toggle while not operating the Periscope.
