Teleport other, or targeted unload
« on: 22 April 2011, 21:42:39 »
For something I'm working on with a few other community members, it would be helpful to give a unit the ability to send other units to remote locations.  The simplest way I see of doing this is having the unit be a transport, and allow it to target its unload command (presumably with a very long range) to unload its residents somewhere else at a distance.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm talking about a stationary building that can send units elsewhere, not a mobile transport that would simply drop them off.

And a twist to that idea, what about a unit that is stationary, but can transport units to the other stationary transport (eg: a portal system).

So you can have portal A transport a unit to portal B, and vice versa. Building more than 2 would be restricted, as that would make it too complex, and with only 1, the portal will not work.

Just an interesting concept..

@John: your idea sounds like it's a unit cannon ;) (although, that would be pretty sick!)
