[Help] Creating wormholes

[LogicSocket]

I'm trying to get a function to work to create a wormhole:

 

function onWormHolePlanPressed()
    if onClient() then
        invokeServerFunction("onWormHolePlanPressed")
        return
    end
local generator = SectorGenerator(Sector():getCoordinates())
generator:createGates()

end

 

Anyone know why this isn't working or know the proper way to do that please?

Thank you

Changed subject so it gives some idea about what's inside, Aki.

Look in the documentation on the server-side sector class. There should be a function createWormhole.

Would be fun to be able to open wormholes like an hyperspace window (#STARGATE ATLANTIS HYPERESPACE)

Thanks Cepheni, I saw that I'll just have to tinker until I can get it to work. Problem is figuring out proper way to make it work.

I leave following code for you as some kind of small reference. I was playing around with wh creation and this is really simple function for that.

-- x and y are coordinates of exit
function popWormhole(x, y)
if x and y then
	local player = Player()
	local sector = Sector()
	local ship = Entity(player.craftIndex)
	local wormhole = sector:createWormHole(x, y, ColorRGB(0,1,1), 25)
	wormhole.translation = ship.translation -- you will need to get away from the wormhole first
end
end

Thank you Aki! works like a charm.

For my uses I have scripts attached to a system that allows for dialog options:

function onStartDialog(playerIndex)
ScriptUI(playerIndex):addDialogOption("[Create WormHole]"%_t, "popWormhole")
end

function popWormhole()
    if onClient() then
        invokeServerFunction("popWormhole")
        return
    end

	local player = Player()
	local sector = Sector()
	local ship = Entity(player.craftIndex)
	local x, y = random():getInt(-400, 400)
	local wormhole = sector:createWormHole(x, y, ColorRGB(0,1,1), 25)
	wormhole.translation = ship.translation -- you will need to get away from the wormhole first

end

 

EDIT:I changed wormhole.translation = ship.translation to wormhole.translation = random():getFloat(75,150) this solves it being right on top of the ship :) cheers

I know you guys are super awesome and smart for getting this to work, but would it be possible to get this packaged up for others to use as well? Creating wormhole would be amazing ^_^
