Sonic Enchantments

  • Reach
    Description: Reach increases how far from the user the the Sonic's range can reach

    Levels:
    • No Reach: 3-4 blocks away
    • Reach I:  4-5 blocks away
    • Reach II:  5-6 blocks away
    • Reach III: 7-8 blocks away
  • Power
    Description: Increases the area of affect of a Sonic's redstone power (I mean  to say that the redstone pulse signal will reach out a bit farther around the block being soniced)

    Levels:

    • TBA

  

Dyeable Sonic Shades

 

Improvement/Change: Dyeable Sonic Shades

 

Result: Different colored Shades

 

How do you suggest we implement this in game: Sonic Shades can have Variants for each dye color, and can be recolored by crafting a pair of shades with a Dye

 

 


Distorting Holograms with Sonic Screwdrivers (WIP)

 

Improvement/Change: Sonic-ing Holograms 

 

Result: When a Hologram is Sonic-ed, it will become distorted.

 

How do you suggest we Implement this in game: Either A) The texture will be scrambled a bit by pixels B) The texture will be scrambled (but in pieces rather than just pixels (ie: the head might appear at the feet)) or C) The model itself will look like it was diced top to bottom like a carrot, with each horizontal piece shifted either to the left or the right

 


 Sonic Shades X-Ray (WIP)

 

Feature: Sonic Shades X-ray ability

 

As Seen in: I'm not sure if this has appeared or not. 

 

Description: Sonic Shades will be able to see through a layer of blocks (but only 1 layer)

 

Use: WIP. But for now, I'm thinking that when using the Sonic option, the X-ray will be activated

 

The Science: TBA later

 

Any other Information: I'm thinking that there will be a sort of range limit to this; because, I get the feeling that suddenly looking 1 layer below every single block in view may wind up causing a bit of lag. I'm not sure though  

 


 

Fabrication Dispenser (Originally by Europa OB)

Name of Block/item/ore: Fabrication Dispenser

 

Description: Its the bit on the TARDIS console that produces the Sonic Screwdriver.

Lore/Brief Background: The Eleventh Hour and Hell Bent

 

Uses [Reformatted and reworded a bit by Arc]:

  • It can repair the Sonic screwdriver (if durability is ever added to it)
  • It can be used to craft Screwdrivers (assuming that the crafting table will no longer be able to be used for this)
  • [Addition by Arc]: The Panel can change the Sonic Screwdriver's Design 
  • [Addition by Arc]: Handles will ask you to put your Screwdriver in this when you wish to add data to his Databanks
  • [Addition By Arc]: Will be where you plug in your screwdriver when you want to upload a path to the Tardis (I will add more information on this feature later)

 

How does the player obtain it: Crafting

[Addition By Arc]: Made with Otherdium

 

Why should this be implemented: A) The TARDIS console barely has any functioning things (only the flight panel and monitor, plus some vanilla redstoning stuff)

 

Original Reply by Europa OB: This link here

 

 
 

Sonic Template (I may wind up scrapping this later.)

Name of Block/item/ore: Fabrication Dispenser 

Use:

A sonic template is a bit different from a normal Sonic. It's not actually able to do Sonic things, but it instead allows the changing of a Sonic's design.

In short, to change a Base Sonic into a different Sonic, well, see the "Processes" section. 

Crafting: The current Screwdriver Crafting Recipes

Other Methods of Obtaining: Boss drops or Dungeon Chests

Compatible Devices:

  • Any Sonic Screwdriver
  • Any Sonic Device that acts exactly like a Screwdriver

Incompatible Devices:

  • Laser Screwdriver
  • Sonic Blaster
  • Sonic Modulator
  • Sonic Cannon
  • Sonic Lance
  • Sonic Sunglasses

Any other details:

  • There is a naming difference which makes it easier to differentiate between Screwdrivers and Templates. Templates will have "(Template)" Following the name.

Purposes:

  • TBA

 


 

Basic Sonic Screwdriver  (I may wind up scrapping this later.)

Description: Instead of having a variety of recipes for each screwdriver, the player would only need to use one recipe to make a base screwdriver. Unlike other Sonic Screwdrivers, this sonic doesn't require any template and can be made at any time, provided the player has the materials. 

Appearance: I haven't decided, but I'm thinking it woud be cool if this had a design unique to the Dalek Mod. Of course, one of the Doctor's Sonics could be a base too

Crafting  TBA. 

Purpose: This item is mostly a complement to the Fabrication dispenser Panel. 


 

 

Using a Sonic Screwdriver in Combat

 

While fighting a mob or player, a Sonic Screwdriver can be used as a way of weakening a foe. That is, if the foe is wearing armor.

 

When the Sonic is used with the mob or player within a close range, it will place an effect on said mob or player which will last for a few seconds. Not too long, but long enough to get maybe 1 or 3 sword strikes on someone.

 

What the effect actually does is allow more damage to get through armor. The Sonic will not effect the durability of the armor itself too drastically. What the effect does instead is reduce the amount of protection the armor provides. Not a complete reduction, just partial. 

 

The effect will go away at the end of the time.

Processes


 Adding a Sonic Template to the Fabrication Dispenser

 2) Have the Template in hand

 3) Right Click on the Fabrication Dispenser

 

Changing a Sonic's Design

1) Hold a Sonic Screwdriver in hand

2) If the dispenser is empty, right click on the dispenser with the Sonic in hand.

3) Right click on the dispenser 

5) A GUI will open with multiple options

6) Choose change Sonic Design.

7) The player can choose a Sonic Design from the templates installed in the Panel. The GUI will be a bit like the Chameleon Circuit GUI.

8) Clicking on the arrows on screen will cycle between the selected template.

9) Clicking "Use Design" will change the design of the Sonic.

10) Press "Exit."

11) The Sonic will have changed Design. Right Clicking on it will return it to the player's inventory 

 12) The template will not be consumed, but I'm thinking there can be some kind of cost. Exp?

 

I love this idea it's absolutely brilliant. We've been needing a few more features for the sonic screwdriver.

This is really good arc, you should definitely keep up they good work.

perhaps you, nexus, and I can work together to make a super amazing sonic thread which has everything from new sonic designs to new settings

Thanks for the support!

 

 

I've added  some new things to the suggestion:

  • Sonic Panel (Moved from Tardis Panels Suggestion)
  • Sonic Template
  • Basic Sonic Screwdriver

 

It's mostly WIP, but any thoughts?
