An interface for phasing.

<div class="IPBDescription">As topic says</div>I remember i disliked the fact that if i wanted to go here, i have to go here and then to here to get to there. I was thinking, a simple text based popup, kind of like when you vote, or maybe the ui for extralevels mods. You walk into the phase gate, a little menu pops up resembling this:

<< Phase Gate Locations >>
1. South Corridor
2. North Corridor
3. Another place

And possibly the hp of the PG's next to the location name.

You get the idea. This would mean the marine can choose. Yes, it would mean that phasing would take a second or two longer, but the time saved hopping from room to room till you get to your correct destination; choosing your location would be quicker in the end.

Your thoughts?

    There was a serverside plugin made for this in NS1, so it can't have been too hard.
    But, making a game look at least somewhat polished is pretty important for publicity (and sales) - an extralevels style text menu will probably not be an option.

    My thoughts? Said a billion times already. Do a search man. And this topic is similar and only a little bit older than yours.

    I would say you're being too harsh with that "Said a billion times already. Do a search man." - if it's older than the first page, it's fair game; but since you have a point about the other topic being only barely older, you uh, have a point.
