Benpasko - Tried that already, it looked odd. But maybe yours will look better, so PM/post when you get it.

Raintail99 - I got telefragging to work sort-of. The only problem is that you telefrag yourself if you teleport.

How about when you teleport close to an enemy you telefrag him and yourself but your actor is recreated. i will seem like you just telefraged him.

Kiber, I think that might be solvable with an invisible 10 trillion sharpness emitter from the disk the lasts for the smallest amount of time possible, and activates when you teleport. I think if it was done right, it wouldn't hurt the person teleporting.

I just tested. No matter how short-lived the particles are, they will sill damage the translocatee because it's spawned the same time as the target is teleported. I'm going to need to do some more Lua for the Telefrag to work.

Protip: Make particles appear BEFORE translocatee arrives.

So the emitter will be spawned, and then teleport the person a little after. Okay. Now to learn a little more Lua...

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, and a slight delay would be sweet, but for a delay maybe you could have the actor disappear, stay disappeared for a second, then reappear, so we can still use it to escape danger, but it would have time to emit the death particles.

I don't know how to make an actor disappear yet without dying. And the telefrag is working a bit better now, but there's another glitch: If you hold the Teleport controls without letting go, the beacon turns into a super digger and digs stuff. Releasing the tele controls stops the digging and teleports you.

Duh102 - I thought the limbs would remain the same.

Oh, and does anyone know how to say, in Lua, "If AEmitter Bla Bla is created then"?

Hook ToAEmitter()

EDIT:
Assuming said AEmitter is luaed.
EDIT2:
Hooks are like:
Code:
OldToAEmitter = ToAEmitter
ToAEmitter = hookfunc


Hook func:
Code:
function hookfunc(Emitter)
if Emitter.PresetName == "x" then
<some crap>
end
return OldToAEmitter(Emitter)
end

Is it possible to do say "If AEmitter Bla Bla is created then" if the emitter is not Lua'ed?

Also, just a little thing, the little blue circles after you teleport would be a cool effect.

Make a short delay between entering the command, and actually teleporting.
And make the Telefrag particles high mass, not high sharpness, it shouldn't destroy terrain.

I found a website with lots of unreal tournament stuff, and they have a Translocator Section Here.
