Description
Allows the creation of waypoint objects that can be linked and used to teleport between locations on a planet.
Waypoints can only be linked to different waypoints on the same planet but they do remember information between sessions (and even your friends can use them as long as they and the server also have the mod!)
This mod is still a work in progress and sort of a proof of concept for communication between objects and tech, bugs can happen.
Installation
1. [Optional] Make a backup of your player file
2. Extract zip to your root starbound directory
3. Verify that there is a waypoints directory under 'Starbound/mods'
4. [Optional] Install something like Tabula Rasa so that you can get the items
5. Launch Starbound.
6. Acquire a Waypoint to learn the Waypoint Knowledge tech
Usage
Equip the Waypoint Knowledge technology before use
Red waypoints are linked to another waypoint. Yellowish orange waypoints are unlinked.
Press 'E' to clear a red waypoint's link
Press 'G' to 'learn' the location of a waypoint
Press 'F' on a yellow unlinked waypoint to link it the location of the target waypoint and then teleport to that location. This also 'learns' the location of the orange waypoint.
Press 'F' on a red linked waypoint and wait ~4 seconds to teleport to the linked waypoint.
Known Bugs
Waypoints still teleport you to their target even if the target waypoint is destroyed
You can teach the location of a destroyed waypoint to other waypoints
Placing objects/blocks on top of the waypoints can cause Bad Things(TM) to happen
If for whatever reason the waypoint fails to send the linked location to the player weird things can happen (including teleportation to a random location)
For now you need something like the Tabula Rasa mod to create the waypoints (which also teaches you the tech). They cost 1 pixel until I get around to thinking about balance.
WARNING
Make sure to delete all waypoints and unequip the tech before updating or uninstalling the mod. I have trashed player files before without doing so (mainly the tech part I think).
