Once again Thanks Wacko - I've put that texture into an early build and it looks great - Check out theses Screenshots

1 Question though - Is it possible to reduce the speed of the texture effect?

Thanks

Scrolling speed can be adjusted in the stargate.shader in the pk3 file. If you want to change it you should use pakscape to open the pk3, find the shader in the directory scripts, copy it to your desktop and adjust it. Save it and overwrite the old one in the pk3 with it.

textures/stargate/stargate
{
qer_editorimage textures/stargate/stargate.tga
qer_keyword utility

// the transparency in mohradiant
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nonsolid
surfaceparm trans
cull none

sort additive
{
map textures/stargate/stargate.tga
tcMod scroll
0 1
// the speed of texture scrolling in x and y direction
tcMod scale 1 1
// size of applied texture higher value is a smaller texture
// smaller textures scroll proportionally faster
nextbundle
map textures/stargate/stargate.tga
tcMod scroll
0.5 0
tcMod scale 1 1
}
}


The red values must be altered!

see if you can get the spash effect from a bullet/nade impact to create the big blast that comes in every time the gate is opened....

What i'd love to do is have it activated by pressing use by a computer in the control room - then have the event horizon appear with say a mortar hit in water is this possible also is it possible to stop bullet hits in the water as these would in theory travel through

Ok then this is early stuff that i havnt touched for a while so its a little buggy

Still to do :-

+Make a Better Gate
+Turn off the transport trigger when the gate isnt active (I know how but didnt at the time)
+Have the Gate Auto Shutdown after 60 seconds (Might Need Help there)
+Add a mortar hit before the puddle appears (Deffo Need help on that)
