Is there anything you can do to optimize the telekinesis to make it less laggy or (most importantly) make it not crash?

The crash is due to CC being unstable when it has to work alot.

As far as I know, there is nothing I can do to optimize.

I have playing with it and I have a few observations.

It doesn't matter where and object is, but somehow the telekinesis has an effect on it. That seems to be why it's so laggy. If nothing is moving in the whole map, holding down G for the gravity telekinesis runs smoothly, the game doesn't slow down at all. But try blowing up two dropships on the other side of the map and press G. The game comes to a crawl, even though the telekinesis doesn't affect it in any way. I think it might be because the LUA isn't specific enough or something. It's affecting things it shouldn't be. You need to remove this effect to optimize it.

Except that THERE'S NO WAY TO DO THAT.

You have to check every actor in the ENTIRE LIST of actors for proximity EVERY SIM UPDATE.

Well that's dumb :[

Data needs to make an optimized function that returns a list of nearby things with distance based of a point and a maximum radius.

I think the psy implant is currently the only way to protect from dropship gibs.

Will this come to be?

I'm running out of keys that can be egonomicly accesed in WASD mode.
Actually, X is accessable. And Z, but that will not work with DarkStorm mele.

That Stealth Chip would look good on a terminator. Anyone else think so?

When data allows for attachable lua code, my stealth chip with the code migrated to an attached chip on a robot actually will make sense.

Update 1.91:
More psy power
Assault Rifle + nades no longer has glitches when two are fired at the same time.
Train can now be controlled by arrow keys.

Not sure what exactly what lua can do (is there a list of functions somewhere?), but if you're looking for suggestions of powers... slowing everything in the map would be laggy and annoying, but is it possible to set one actor to update more often?

Also, if you can do the charge-drain thing of the darkstorm's point defense, you can give actors all sorts of activablable abilities without it being broken... say, ghosting for up to 4 seconds on a 16 second charge.

The jetpack upgrade + a darkstorm turret = craziness.

^ is exactly why I did not have a pinstrength check on the jetpack.

Along with having your brain retreat faster.
"Look, there's his brain! Aiming..."
"WTF? It just teleported into the ground!"

Yeah, but you can't load it with troops. When you open the doors and try to put a soldier in it always cuts their legs off.
