OHM UCGO Displacement booths

[OrbitHangar]

Author: artlav

About:
Displacement booths to be used by UMMU's for instant teleportation in-between them.
Can transport one UmmU and anything it's carrying.

Installation:
-Unpack
-Activate "displacement" module
-Run the included scenario (or any other)
-Approach the booth, select the destination
-Blink, align, get used to new location

Controls:
-When in range, a menu should appear
-1 thru 9 selects destination booth
-Only works with UMMU
-To add more booths, just position or unpack "displacement" vessels where you like them, enumeration is automatic

Update 100119:
-UCGO cargo compatibility. Using default box mesh and repainted texture.
Fix 1:
-Fixed box non-appearance.

Woohoo! ...Transporters..beam me up Thanks Artlav & Woo482

Very nice - would there be any problems if I made this an unpackable cargo as part of Dan's UCGO? I don't think this would need any editing of the addon at all.

Actually, that was the original idea - a portable package that unzips into a booth by a ummu on arrival to a distant planet, and can be use for latter transport.
So, by all means try it out.

Updated for UCGO compatibility.

There seems to be a problem with these booths- the menu doesn't come up as advertised.

EDIT:
I guess it would help to activate the module. >_>

Is the module active?

 

[T.Neo]

It is now. :lol:

I found out that using it realy quickley is bad for my computers health!:lol:
Nice though:thumbup:

Couple things:
I had one of these on the surface of Europa, and another in orbit thereof. Upon taking the orbital booth to the surface booth, I impacted the ground or something, was sent spinning into the air by a few dozen meters, and fell to my death.
Taking the booth from surface to orbit didn't trigger the UMMU to switch out of ground mode, and I was unable to use my RCS systems or move at all, short of teleporting back to ground (which worked, oddly).
I think my orbit to surface error was caused by not being aligned properly with the booth when I teleported. I also get the feeling these weren't meant for air to ground transportation, but it's not like that's going to stop me.

Other than that, it'd be nice if we could re-pack the booth into an UCGO box, and maybe some way of choosing a booth name when you unpack one.

Source Code

I really like the displacement booths. I have been trying to do something similar, but I have been having problems. I would love to be able to see your source code, if you wouldn't mind? If you're willing to share your source code, you can send me a private message using this forum with your e-mail address, or, if you prefer, you could post it to the forum. I'd really appreciate it.

I tried the displacement booths, and I didn't see a menu (even though the module is active). Is there a key I have to hit?

Booths not functioning

I tried activating the booths (enter key), nothing. No menu, nadda. What am I doing wrong here? :facepalm:

 

[Capt_hensley]

It would be interesting if the pod/box were a mesh of the pods used in the movie "The Fly"

With a large enough door to permit a UMMU walkin without bendover. Just thinking...:hmm:

 

[gattispilot]

You can make the mesh what ever you want. Back up original. We used it in the MoonBase Alpha

 

[N_Molson]

A door that closes before the teleportation, a flash of light, and opens after the teleportation (maybe with some particle effect) would be awesome. :2cents:

 

[SpecialKaye87]

Not getting anywhere with these booths. I approach them, hit "enter" (activate), no menu pops up :-( Anyone? A little help here?

 

[N_Molson]

We need more detail to help you, like the version of Orbiter you are using, the version of UmmU, etc...

 

[Capt_hensley]

found a mesh $30.00 us dollars:hmm:
