Introduction

Add a laser pointer to provide a single platform for your specific deployment needs. The M45 designator delivers high-impact Ordinance strike, equipped with HE cruise missiles and tactical nuclear weapons modules to answer the question: "Where does conventional surface warfare end and the serious combat of Ordinance begin? It can also flag Militia fire, summon Brotherhood Vertical Bird transport, or teleport Institute synthesizers to designated locations."

This mod aims to provide players with a dubious, lore-friendly, and primarily convenience-oriented targeting regulation delivery system.

Taking inspiration from a_blind_man's pre-war binoculars, this is a scouting/aiming device that allows the user to scope or designate in a gentle style. The designation is purely fire and forget, just load a module, make some munitions, and dump the explosives on the Commonwealth. Simple, stylish and selectively overwhelming.

Indicators and ammo can be crafted at the Chemistry Table, and ammo only requires bottle caps. By default, the specified type requires a throwable object associated with its functionality.

Features

Binocular designator device for all your reconnaissance or targeting needs

Several options for directing firepower, including cruise missiles and tactical nuclear weapons strikes

Optional compatibility with ShiroNyanP’s A-10 Warthog CAS

Name options

Militia artillery - because, of course. Build the modules, specify, and wait for the thunder.

Synthesizer Relay - Teleports 2nd generation synthesizers to the target location.

How to get

compatibility

By default, it should be compatible with almost everything, since the indicator just triggers the event. If you find an incompatibility, please be sure to let me know.

Great binoculars brought to life by hitman47101. Absolutely awesome, big props to him. Look at his pre-war Binos resurrection.

Known bugs/issues

Unable to launch - Nuclear bombs and cruise missiles sometimes failed to activate on certain geometries. Try the fix, but now aim for the ground at the bottom of the target for best results. This can also happen if you fire at a very far away target, especially since the laser doesn't hit the rendered ground.

No third person animation - I'm not an animator by any definition, so the third person animation is just the pistol animation for now. It is what it is.
