Warpdrive - Teleport Players and props

[Asphid]

I've been thinking, and running pseudocode in my head, and it really wouldn't be that hard implement player teleportation on the Hoverdrive.

if(iname == "Radius")
local Val = value or 512
end

if(iname == "Jump" && value > 0) then
local pos = self.Entity:GetPos()
local ents = ents.FindInSphere( pos , Val )
local JumpCoord = self.JumpTarget
    for k,v in pairs(ents) do
        if(v.GetClass == "player") then --Or whatever players are
            entpos = v.GetPos()
            local locCoord = v.WorldToLocal( pos )
                v.SetPos(JumpCoord + locCoord)
        end
    end
end

Please note, the above probably will NOT work, it's just an idea.

You can teleport players with hoverdrive. Just weld a vehicle to it, sit in and there you go.

That's not teleporting players, that's teleporting vehicles with players in them.

I concur with you on the vehicle VS player, but besides the possible applications of spacebuild and instant motion from point A to point B without the time of a lift or vehicular transport, wouldn't this have some significant minging capacity?

Indeed, I'd like to be able to build a two-way teleport, but the way I see it I would need 2 hoverdrives, yet it would also be a bit complicated.

stargate done it.

You do know you can change the jump target of one hoverdrive to any other location at any time. YOU NEVER NEED MORE THAN ONE.

It would be more than simple to add a convar to allow it, similar to how whoever it was did with the e2 shootTo() function.

You are all so scared of minges, chances are proper minges wont even use the E2, make it so it only works with vectors and you are sorted.

Yeah, I considered that aspect, minges aren't really known for their ability to use in-game capabilities.
