About Gun range visualizer

From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds a shortcut to show gun range of the controlled character or vehicle.

Gun range visualizer

Adds a shortcut to toggle gun range visualization of the controlled character or vehicle. Useful if you are driving a tank or want to launch a nuke from the furthest possible distance.

Features

  • Keybind (CONTROL + SPACE by default) and shortcut bar button to toggle gun range visibility.
  • Customizable range visualization colors - primary color and no ammo color.
  • Multiplayer-compatible - each player only sees their range and can change settings according to their preference.
  • Lightweight - the on_tick handler makes use of caching frequently-accessed data and if you have the mod installed but don't use it, the handler is inactive.

Known issues

  • Special ammo types based on source are not implemented (such as the flamethrower ammo which behaves differently for personal and vehicle flamethrower) - the visualization will only consider the default one.
