Thought I'd throw a few ideas I've got for TARDIS Features I'd love to see in U44 or in the near future! Please let me know your thoughts!

Username: EndlessTimelord

Feature Name: TARDIS Wiring System/Moving Controls

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): Kind of in Doctor Who

Description of Feature:  With Ford's new modelled controls in U44 I'd love to have a GUI which pops up when you place a control which asks you what you want the lever/button to do. It'll also be cool to have the controls move example: You pull a lever and it has a moving animation and it'll stay like that until you move it.

What is the purpose of this: It'd add more of a personal touch to your TARDIS and may be useful on the server if someone was trying to steal your TARDIS and the moving animations would make it  more fun to mess around. 

How do you suggest we implement it in game: Not sure, but hopefully there  could be a way.

Here's what I had in mind the controls can be set to:

On/Off- Can turn off the TARDIS

Demat- Takeoff lever

Handbreak- If a TARDIS crashing feature ever happens this can stop the TARDIS  or could cancel your current flight

Chameleon Circuit- Can choose the Exterior of the TARDIS but could sometimes break and you'd have to fix it (planning to explain the fixing thing in another thread)

Deadlock- Can Deadlock the TARDIS so if someone tries to click a control they'll lose half a heart

Flight Panel- Flies the TARDIS

Command Panel- Commands for the TARDIS

Timelocked- (based off another thread idea) You can Timelock a place where either no one can get in but you or no one at all

Radar- Shows TARDIS' near by and who they belong to

Fast return- You can set it to your house let's say and anytime you click the block it'll take you back there

Sonic Charger Slot- Sonics could run out of charge so you can put it on charge or you could model your own Sonic? Like mentioned in DM Workshop

What are your thoughts? There could also be a setting to tag the blocks so you get to know which control does which. 

I love all the ideas

 Thanks! 

I support this idea, it would be cool to have diffrent controls for the TARDIS, it will make the TARDIS feel more like a TARDIS.

 Thanks! Yeh I would love the fast return added.

maybe the ability to Transmat  to your TARDIS with your key  if you somehow manage to accidentally leave it while its in flight??   it would work kind of like teleporting you there,  but it would have a cool-down and you couldn't do it  under certain conditions,  ex.  like when enemies are around.

I don't know if this was cannon or not but i remember seeing it on an old doctor who roblox game.

[edit]  

i also forgot to say

support! 

Got my support! Why not have it if you turn your tardis off in the vortex you'd create a paradox so your exterior goes into your interior and you'd be stuck until you press a reset button to send your tardis back into the vortex.

It is on a few Doctor Who Roblox games still, you can teleport to the interior with enemies around in those games.

 oh,   the one i played never had actual enemies,  but   i meant to make it so you  cant always use it as an escape method.

Okay. Makes sense.

I love this idea!

these are all really nice ideas but i think the time lock feature should only be accessible for high-rank admins and such. 

 Or maybe we get the choice of time locking our things so that we can keep our stuff safe on the servers and with a toggle so we can allow people we trust into the time locked zone of ours, for example our houses to reduce issues with griefers. Let me know what you think about this suggestion.

 But if you time lock on your house and wont to park there you couldnt xD

 Well you can just set perms for the timelock

Very nice! I see you are just as in depth as the TARDIS as I sort of am.  I know this is off topic, But does anyone notice that Peter Capaldi NEVER has really touched the Time-rotor handbrake, As you remember with Matt smith, He did the whole "flick and pull" with the handbrake and the space-time throttle at the same time. Now, Peter Capaldi only pulls the space-time throttle.  I understand he may not have the energy to do that every time.  But hey...

< < < Cutting to the chase! > > >

I was thinking... You could extend on the whole handbrake and throttle thing,  There could either like put a sequence to it (Handbrake and throttle, or at the same time, Whatever)   So maybe add the ability of "settings" to your thread? to enable sequences or... You get the idea I suppose.

 I like that idea Shadows. I think it would make it that little bit more interactive for the player. :)
