EnergyItem

Will this be making an official foray into the game anytime soon? I've found opportunities to use it in pretty much every map I've made and think it has some really great advantages. First Aid items have their uses but sometimes what players really just need is energy. Would love to have this added to the toolbar so I didn't have to keep writing it into the map file!

That and teleporter delays - arguably the single most underrated and underused feature I've come across - but I suppose those are more experimental.

Teleporter delays FTW man!

Telaporter delays should be extended to include spawn delays.
Like, I want to be able to make it so a certain teleporter won't even appear for x amount of seconds.

I know this could be done with a levelgen though so I'm also going to ask that someone make something like that in their spare time >.>

Teleporter delay is spawn delay :O

[Skybax]

Only after someone goes in it, though, right?

I want it to not even show up in level (like it doesn't exist) for a certain amount of time.

And be able to disappear without someone going in it.

Ahh ok, yeah levelgen is what you want

That's really easy with a levelgen... set a timer that launches a line of code to create the teleport, and another that will destroy it later.

I know it's possible with a levelgen I just have no knowledge of lua or timers

[bobdaduck]

Something like this: (coding from my phoone this may not run)

tele = nil --variable to hold the teleporter
teleStart = point.new(0, 0)
teleEnd = point.new(100, 100)

function removeTele()
tele:removeFromGame()
end

function spawnTele()
tele = Teleporter.new()
tele:setGeom(teleStart, teleEnd)
bf:addItem(tele)
end

function main()
Timer.scheduleOnce(spawnTele, 5000) --5000 millisec
Timer:scheduleOnce(removeTele, 10000)
end

This whole thing could probably be compressed into just 4 lines of code, but it is much more readable this way!
