Swirly Hypnotic Warppoints!

[Suicide Junkie]

A) Add a "description only" ability to the normal warppoints. (StellarAbilityTypes.txt)
This causes SE to:
B) Make all natural warppoints select randomly from the list of "Unusual := TRUE" warppoints (defined in StellarObjectTypes.txt)

C) By using a variety of "XFile Class Name := " entries across the Unusual warppoint entries, you thus get a variety of warppoint effects.


You will have to generate a new map (which will have the "unusual" warppoints) to see it, of course.

Is Description Only ability sufficient? Have you tried that specifically, SJ?

Make sure to set the chance for the ability to 1000, so all WPs get it.

Yes indeedy it is

For GGmod, and the screenshots posted by me, I used:
Code:

Name                                            := Normal Warp Point

Number of Abilities                             := 1

Ability 1 Chance                                := 1000

Ability 1 Type                                  := Description Only

Ability 1 Description                           := Nearby gasses have become trapped in the gravitational vortex of the warp point.

Ability 1 Scope                                 := Space Object

Ability 1 Range Formula                         := 0

Ability 1 Amount 1 Formula                      := 0

Ability 1 Amount 2 Formula                      := 0
