Jumping without a gate/hole
-
NOTE: I originally posted this on TLR (http://www.lancersreactor.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=898)
This is just one of my crazy ideas envolving jumping to a different system without a jump gate/hole.
What I want this to do is just make the game so that when a player goes to chat and types eg. /jumpto Li01 the player will be automaticly thrown into the system that the player told flhook to so if they type Li02 after /jumpto then they will be beamed into the colorado system because that was the system that they specified in chat (to the exact location that they where in the last system).
Can someone tell me if a player could beam itself to another location or is this not possible - Its just occoured to me that if the player can then this topic is useless.
-
Its possible with FLhook.
Except the current beam functions are admin only, and its not desired to make anyone admin on a server.
It is also only possible in a multiplayer game as there are no single player flhook systems (yet).Maybe some FLhook developer is willing to adjust a plugin so you can give the beam option to players.
In my believe this will give lag spikes if its used a LOT. -
yeah if you beam more than 3 times without relaoding your character it can become laggy and buggy asnd your player file can become corrupt, if someome did adjust flhook to allow any player to use beam id have it so you beam twice then you have to reload your character before you can beam again

When you say FTL drive, do you basically mean a command, or that a player will say for example be able to type a command, say for example:
/hyperdrive New York
Which would result in a time lapse say of example 1 minute to stop abuse, and then the ship gets transported there?
I was hoping for something similiar for uberlancers mod project.
The initial hyperspace idea is still sound whereby there would be certain hypergates which you’d require a Type A Hyperdrive to access, once in subspace/hyperspace (kind of like a nexus of invisible exit holes) you navigate to an exit point and walla, you’ve travelled across a few systems.
If we can create a FTL plugin that would allow the higher end ships to use a Type B Hyperdrive where you would use a command, wait about 1 minute and then your ship would launch into subspace at custom positions (depending on which system you came from) then that would be awesome.
I would literally kiss your feet
