Jump to: navigation, search

Wiremod Tool

Function:	An entity that allows teleportation of itself and constrained props.
Primary fire:	No action
Secondary fire:	No action
Reload:	No action
Notes:	This page currently only displays info on how to use the jumpdrive feature.

This entity's jumpdrive feature will teleport itself and all attached props to certain GPS (or world) coordinates.

Spawn from the entities menu
Constrain (usually by welding) to the props to be teleported along with the controller
Wire a position to the controller (usually with a GPS) and 2 inputs to set the coordinates and start the jump (usually with buttons)
Trip the Set Jump Target input to set the position to teleport to, then the Jump input to teleport.

Jumptarget_x: Set the exact X GPS coordinate of the jump.
Jumptarget_y: Set the exact Y GPS coordinate of the jump.
Jumptarget_z: Set the exact Z GPS coordinate of the jump.
Set Jump Target: You don't need to use this any more.
Jump: Activates the jump drive, teleporting the controller and constrained props.
JumpTarget: The vector of the coordinates to jump to.

None.

Spawned under the Entities tab.
You do not need to use the Set Jump Target input.
Use a beacon sensor and a target finder to get the GPS co-ords, then teleport the hoverdrive to an enemy! You may have to add 100 to the Z co-ordinate (making it spawn 100 units higher than the NPC) and put a turret on the bottom.
One easy thing to do is to make a panel that can save GPS coordinates for later use.
Heres a good use for the "hoverdrive", output its current x, y, and z cords to a arithmetric gate in which should add one to each input and then hook them to the input of the "hoverdrive" to cause it to move 1 units in any desired direction every step. We could add controls such as a SR-latch to generate a 1 or 0 in which would be hooked the the arithmetric gate's number-to-add input.

If it is attached to a prop or construction with a grabber, then anything the grabber has a hold of will also jump with the drive
(LS2) A console command will enable this to require energy to jump, with an expense that is proportional to the distance traveled.
(LS2) Constructs with supply pumps connected to the construct's own supply ports will also jump.
