Hello people, introducing telegate (or stargate, if you will)

Place telegate core on wall and teleporting plasma will appear. Right click to set destination.
Place the core near other cores and its destination will be set to the first core detected
The plasma will disappear when the core is removed.

Locked Core now available in version 1.0:
Only owner can use, edit destination and remove the core.
Other players will get damage

The recipes (works for version 0.1 and later)

Added bonus: can be used as cloaking device.

Depends only on "default"

To be done: Nothing so far

License: WTFPL for code & textures, CC BY-SA for sounds

Version(s):
0.0
0.1: added sound and recipe
1.0: added locked core, recipe and more sound

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
[Mod] Telegate [1.0] [telegate]

Heh, I edited the topic name then I moved it. ;)
Also, LocaL_ALchemisT, you should upload .zip archives instead of .rar - .rar requires external programs to be extracted on Windows - just a tip. There is no size benefit for small mods like this. ;)

Am liking the way it looks. Not sure about the way it works. So it connects to the nearest detected gate. So i wouldn't be able to go from 1 to 3 if 2 is closer to 1. You could fix this by linking gates.

Your description on how it works is not clear to me. So you can set destination but you can also let them connect threw "nearby connection". When does that happen and when the other? Please give better usage description.

Edit: linking can be done by placing different block types on-top of the telegate

Calinou: Thank you very much :D i've reupload the mod in .zip

Bas080: let's say that you placed a core & set destination to (1,1,1). If you place another core within the 1st core's range (e.g beside it) the destination for 2nd core is automatically set to 1st core destination (1,1,1).

However you can change the 2nd core's destination (e.g. (2,2,2)) and it won't affect any cores in its range (in this case, 1st core's destination is still (1,1,1)). Hope that this explanation is understandable.

i'm not planning to do anything with this mod yet, i'm on another project. however that (linking gate) is a great idea and i can't wait to try it asap. Thank you very much :)

You must understand that this mod is very old and is no longer supported.

Yes I saw that LocaL_ALchemisT has more on the forum, but maybe a slight modification of the code used to make the window reappear.
The mod starts without error, it's just the input window no longer appears.
Perhaps a programmer would have to fix

With minetest 0.4.9

With minetest 0.4.10

It's a teleporter.
It's very simply, you place an Telegate Core on a wall. After plasma appears. You click on Telegate Core to define the position you want to teleport. And after you go in plasma to teleport.

So you can teleport everywhere even if there's no plasma?

To make this mod work again on 0.4.10, open the init.lua file and change lines 44 and 141 from:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
meta:set_string("formspec", "hack:sign_text_input")


to:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
meta:set_string("formspec", "field[text;;${sign_text_input}]")


Apparently using hack:sign_text_input can cause problems in newer minetest versions (thanks TenPlus1):
