Metamod: Phaseselect

<div class="IPBDescription">Marines pick where the phase takes them.</div> Another plugin today <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Basically, this plugin allows marines to choose where they want to go, rather than just randomly teleporting them.

Drawbacks:

Max of 9 phase gates
Aliens cant use them (tho can be modded to let them use it).

(Note, this uses same location system as my "ChatVariables" plugin, locations are done automatic and attach to the current system.

ONE question...why??

voogru · May 2003

1. Its fun to program <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
2. Heard a lot of people request something like this.
3. I wanted to see if I could do it.
4. See #1

Isn't this a bit cheating, since your forcing something in-game to work as previously unallowed?

Lightning_Blue · May 2003

I really like it! I might give it a go sometime.

Abtm, not that it wasn't allowed, it was never THERE.

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> nice, do we have this on your mod?? This helps a lot since if you have over 5 phase gates it sometimes takes longer to phase there than running there.

I updated this, not a bug fix but now theres a new feature where a single player can turn off the phase menu and just phase randomly (like normal).

They can simply type "setinfo phaseselect 0" in console to access it. Of course this only affects them.

this also assumes that "1" is bound to "slot1" does it not?

(some of us use the number keys to teamsay the number of enemies at our location - this is effective since my teammates always know where I am and it leaves the voicecomms for the commander)

voogru · May 2003

yes you will need the 1-9 keys bound to slotx (x being 1,2,3,4,5 etc)

Align · May 2003

Well you can bind them to anything really, can't you?
Or?

voogru · May 2003

Yea, it can be binded to anything.

voogru · May 2003

Updated this again, Fixed a small bug that a player could choose options he couldnt see yet. (example, even when it was displaying options 1, 2, 3, he could still select 4, 5, 6 etc.

Fantastic.

Can the aliens phase as usual if they do the setinfo phaseselect 0?

I played on a server with this mod on. Nice for the marines, horrible for the aliens. I agree. You need to make it so that the aliens can still use the marines phase gates.

Sometimes the only way to get into a well defended base is via a poorly defended phase gate. With this mod one of my favorite alien tactics is gone. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Oh My Gosh! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Why don't we have this as an in-game feature <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Voogru you da man

Keep up the good work.

I think it rocks for the option as a plugin.
