Teleportation Effects
Teleportation Effects
Here's a suggestion I was thinking about during an RP with Khatla today.
/rptele creates an effect on your player, making him or her fade out with the cloak effect before moving you... and then making you fade in.
As far as I know this is only for eyecandy and there's no reason the teleportation would take any time to "charge."
I'm in support of removing the visual and audio effects in favor of the teleportation mechanic to be instantaneous. This improves RP so that say, for example... in some sort of dream or vision RP you need a character to pop up somewhere there's no advanced warning in the form of that cloak sound, or if you just want a character to disappear into thing air, hologram to pop up.

Re: Teleportation Effects
I agree with this, and it's definitely possible. I'm fairly certain JA+ had an option built in for instant teleportation.

Re: Teleportation Effects
I'd say JEDI would benefit from this.
Teleports in JEDI RP tend to be OOC and rarely used in plain sight.
Also, the sound unfortunately draws attention to what could be an upcoming surprise as well, which is quite deflating.
If there came a time where somebody did want to use Teleport in an RP capacity but didn't like it being so sudden, then they can always beef it up with some extra effects using /rpeffect or the cloak item itself to emulate the old effect.
Support.

Re: Teleportation Effects
I fully support this. On more than one occasion, I've seen the sound and effect totally ruin the fact of surprise. As long as regular stealth from the item choice is unaffected, then I'm cool with it!

Re: Teleportation Effects
JA+ does, it's a big beam of green light than causing instantaneous teleportation instead of fading in/out over time, the issue was it always left a scorch mark on the ground.Syrena Exan wrote:I agree with this, and it's definitely possible.

Here is the exact setting for disabling the fade in/out teleport which resulting in the beam and mark on the ground from my server.cfg in my JA+ folder.

Re: Teleportation Effects
I think the idea is that there's no effect at all... just *POP!* you're there.
Re: Teleportation Effects
Yes, no visual effect whatsoever. Just a change in origin coordinates.

But then we wouldn't know when someone was coming up from a stealth from behind/infront of you! Haha. Sarcasm.Amoné Fayden wrote:Teleports in JEDI RP tend to be OOC and rarely used in plain sight.
