Luanti ST Nodes 🔗

Nodes for use in some kind of... star trek. ;) 🔗

This is still a work in progress, but some basic functionality works so I thought I'd release what I have.

Nodes 🔗

A few nodes exist:

• Duranium - just a type of block, in regular duck-egg green of course, does nothing special yet but it is a strong block, and the plan is for it to be used in recipes
• Transparent Aluminium - a type of glass
• Bussard blocks - another type of block - the idea is when one node is near a bussard power source they will illuminate giving the idea of moving particles - really messy right now, needs a lot of work

But the real showpiece is...

• Transporter console - controls the transporter, see below
• Transporter pad - where you can transport from and to, see below

Tools 🔗

• Communicator - works with the transporter, see below.

Transporter 🔗

This is the reason I built this mod.
The transporter works like so:

1. Place a transporter console
2. Place a selection of transporter pads in an area around a centrepoint 10 blocks away "behind" the transporter console (so you're looking at the pads, when stood at the console). The console and the pads must be at the same height.
3. Right-click the left hand transporter console, give it a name, and Enable it. It will search for pads around the centrepoint 10 blocks away and illuminate them so show they are active.
4. Right-click the right hand transporter console and put in coordinates where you want to beam to.
5. Click "Check Position" to see what blocks you may be landing on.
6. Click "Transport to Position" to transport anybody stood on a linked pad to the coordinates.

You may also enter a player name to transport any player stood on a pad to an area near the named player.

Communicator 🔗

The communicator is a tool you can use to transport to a transporter room.

1. Use the Communicator and select a transporter room.
2. Enter the amount of people to transport (must be "near" the player - about 5 blocks away).
3. Click "Beam Up" and you will be transported to the selected transporter room.

Notes 🔗

• The transporter must be enabled to be usable by the communicator.
• There is a certain amount of "jitter" when transporting you to a location - so the coordinates you enter may not be the ones you end up in - but you'll be close. This is to stop many players transporting to the same block.
• The transporter needs to "emerge" blocks before it can transport you there. Because of this, transports may not work on the first attempt - you'll get a message, so just try again.
• The transporter will do its best to transport to a safe location, and attempts to only transport to "air" type blocks. If there's no "air" type block within 1000 blocks above the coordinates, the transport will fail - try different coordinates.
• This is still a little buggy in places, and I aim to fix some bugs when I add more features - please let me know if you notice anything that could be better!
• Velocity propagates - if you're falling, it's going to hurt!

Have fun! 🔗
