Shuttle and pod controls override.

Post by Egorkor » 08 Feb 2017, 07:32

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow the marines to regain control of the dropship or the droppod from the onboard console after the queen launches it. There was a round where the queen launched a desperate attack on the dropship, managed to launch it and then died to the PO and the marines onboard. The PO however couldn't control the shuttle and so it crashed into the Sulaco despite the fact the queen was no longer in control.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Will allow the marines to avoid the crash landing in the rare instance of them taking the shuttle back inflight.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): N/A, I haven't interacted with the new consoles at all so I don't really know how it works. Probably up to those who made it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Minor code tweaks.

Maybe if the po, and only the po can do it, in circumstances as specific as these.

The circumstances like these are rare as fuck though, so I don't think it'll hurt to let others access it. After all, it's a matter of pressing a button to toggle autopilot/pulling the steering handle over to the side to avoid the crash.
