Manual Stargate Ring Rotation

Open Hawkfang42 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

In Episode 9 (or episode 8 if you consider the episode after children of the gods to be episode 1) of SG1, the stargate is successfully opened after having the inner ring manually turned, so, as you could guess, I am suggesting implementing such a thing into this mod, possibly with a handle that you can place onto the stargate and right click to take hold of it, then as you reach each address, you click the chevron to lock it. To make it still a bit expensive, you could make it use more power. Now how do I list this as an enhancement?

If I remeber it right, they used a lightning bolt to power the gate. Maybe adding some kind of lightning conductor to the game? Might be cool to see.

this would be cool.

But that was because there were no power sources for the gate so I was think make the gate be able to have power going to it in direct contact along with lightning

Technically the gate only needed external power because the DHD was broken and the internal capacitors drained. After all, SG1 manually dialed to avoid the replicators on Thor's ship (with only the gate's internal capacitors to power it). The main expense is the time it takes to rotate a large ring to seven different symbols

well.. for this would be nice to have model of damaged/destroyed DHD... just for canon purposes

sorry just to addon with each symbol locked it took a bit of power to lock it in. Seen in season 1 episode (10 or 11 depending on the Children of the gods episode) and also seen in origin how the germens used car battery's to lock the symbols so they could get to Abydos so i see each time you lock in takes power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI2T0luxkUM&list=PL2C52ECECC8723590&index=1
