The Teleporter

Hadn't thought about the ways a player could exploit that. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever turn this into a mod myself.

if you read above I'm criticized for not knowing the stargate lore. and indeed I have no clue about this show, never seen an episode.

If my idea resembles stargate it's not my bad but I get the general feeling that it in fact doesn't. Make sure you re-read the OP thoroughly. I made sure to think up my idea as something that wouldn't fu ck too much with the current balance.
of course in normal PA the opponent can never use your gates. this sets this feature up and ads it in as a rare occurrence.

If it happens very rarely just imagine the commentators and how ecstatic they'll be when they witness it.

Close the iris! -Star Gate SG1

How do you link 2 Gates to each other? Or even better how would you 'hack' a gate. I would like to know this before I start theorizing.

If the enemy could come through the gate just destroy it with "delete". A counter to this might be to disable the "selfdestruct command" when something is being captured. (New use for the combat engineer, discovered.)

Half serious:
It would be awesome if the gate had an iris that you could close. If an enemy had your 'gate adress'.
Too much micro.

read the rest of the OP and my posts on this thread, and all your questions shall have answers on my part.

maybe something similar to a bluetooth link?

maybe a code appears onscreen at some point and you have to manually type it in to link the two that you want to use?

another player at the other end might be able to 'steal' the portal on his planet by entering a different code that shows up somewhere on his screen whenever one of his units stumbles across it.

if the player doesn't notice the code appearing and disappearing in the corner of his screen, he (or she) will be unable to block the transporter on his end

of course, i just dreamed this up, so...

NECROPOSTER

i've been called worse...

errrr don't you thin that's a bit too .....gimmicky? I don't have the time for that RTS is already too fast paced.

yep, it's gimmicky as used in bluetooth, too

but it could add a new 'steal/steal it back' dimension to transporters

never mind, it was just my gimmicky solution to the 'wiring the t-porters together' idea

Even the teleporters are crap in this latest build. Why do all my units get stuck in them? New patch please. Pretty please

If you read my OP though, I have a pretty clear solution. just right click another when one is selected like you do right now. ...you just have to be the current owner of both.

What i would like would be to have units walking through enemy teles. It makes sense that a unit should just be able to walk through, but the owner connects the portals, and also have cooldown time or ''Shutdown time''.

During the LiquidTLO and metabolical stream it was mentioned that if you set your units to hold their fire you can.

Okay cool then .

no fuckin way are you serious???

I'm serious in that is what was said. I've never done it. Too bad you can't have your units just ignore the gate, and attack only combat units.

well that part should be relatively easy to mod in. Damn I gotta test it in PTE see if it works!! This is amazing news!!

This has been around since teleporters were first added, haha.

okay, point taken... i'm sorry

i would just like to steal one end from you in the future, but give you a fighting chance to steal it back if you were actually paying attention, so...

but let's go with your ideas
