Hello. I have recently come close to finishing my Stargate map. I have coded a set of actors for the map of mine, allowing people to dial other Stargates by choosing certain symbols.
Guide:
Come in front of the dialing device, you are now in control of it (in network play you will lose control of the device if you are idle or if you use it for too long). You choose the symbols by clicking them (like firing a weapon). Each of the symbols currently blinking can be chosen as the next one (if you wish your address to be valid). There are two blinking modes - in one of them all possible next symbols are blinking, in the other one, only those, which will compose an address of a planet that has life (players, bots) on it (you switch the modes with right clicking the white button). The final symbol (point of origin) won't lock, unless the address is valid and the stargate on the other end is closed. If any stargate closes, the top chevrons of all stargates blink, to inform everyone about it. If the final symbol locked, and you still can't connect - the stargate on the other end must have been opened after you locked the final symbol. Press red button to open the stargate connection (right click it, to automatically dial a random address from the blinking symbols). The Earth dialing device is different, but easier to use. Also, keep in mind, that only Earth and Atlantis are capable of establishing inter-galactic connections (the 8-symbol addresses).
Check how it works for yourselves.
Keep in mind though, that this is a test version. I have not added any pickups to the map yet. Any bug reporting is most welcome. All ideas are also welcome. Please tell me if there are any files missing, I am unsure if the GOTY version of UT has any textures that the normal UT does not.
