Able to switch teleporters as well

[sdraweae]

Hey,

in my opinion it would be cool for mappers if they were able to switch teleporters on or off.
For example a lot of mappers use the trick (At dummy maps) that the dummy gets hooked in a teleporter by an hook-entity. But with this way you would need more space. It would be easier to just enable a porter.

how would you mark it?

[sdraweae]

I would sort of put an "id" marker in the switch layer.
So for example: Chooes id 1, place it over a teleporter and disable it by default. When you step into an activator referring to 1 as well the porter gets enabled.

Sure, it would be nice idea. There are many more entites that would be even better with the 'switch' mechanic.
But I don't think it's really necessary. The current way with hook-lasers works fine, even if it requires more space .__.

Just an idea

Good idea but hard to implement.

[mokuz]

and how to show it in-game?

We thought about it, and had a idea but we don't know if it's good.
We would need to create 8 more tiles.

• Tele on
• Tele off
• Telecp on
• Telecp off
• Tele delay on
• Tele delay off
• Tele cp delay on
• Tele cp delay of

Those are many new tiles and it would use the switch logic, what you think about it?
