/tardis find

[Airomis]

Describe the feature request

i dont know if this is a bug or intent. when a player dont have the upgrate to locate the tardis there is no way to find their ship as the tartdis find command is broken. if this is intended is it possible to make the prompt something like this....

player: /tardis find Server: you dont have the tardis locate upgrade unlocked make a tardis locator to find your tardis

Describe alternatives you've considered

make the tardis command to find it work all the time.

once a tardis locator is made if you use it on the junk tardis it will travel to one of the surrounding chunks ( this way it will not land on the ship )

[eccentricdevotion]

There are two config options that control TARDIS location: In config.yml:

difficulty:
   tardis_locator: [true|false]

the difficulty.tardis_locator setting has the same functionality as the previous preferences.difficulty: hard so no real change there from previous versions.

Then of course if difficulty.system_upgrades is true - in _systemupgrades.yml:

tools:
   tardis_locator: [cost]

The tardis_locator upgrade is the cheapest one there is at 500 Artron so it shouldn't be too hard to get to that level... if you think it is too much, then talk to your server admin...

[eccentricdevotion]

If configured properly, the /tardis find command works as expected...

[eccentricdevotion]

I think you just need to do some travelling in your TARDIS...

i use it all the time i ended up charging someones tardis to 700% from my timelord a week before the new patch dropped lol. so is it then possible to just change the prompt to tell players to make tthe locator so if thhey didnt unlock the tardis locate yet they at least hahve a way to find the ship if its lost and are also informed about the locator as a whole as some players dont know about it

[eccentricdevotion]

• If system upgrades are enabled, they still need to upgrade before they can use the locator or the /tardis find command, so the current message is the correct one.
• If they upgrade and difficulty.tardis_locator is true then they need to use the locator instead of the the /tardis find command and the message then informs them so.

Maybe there needs to be a grace period like there is with the circuits... but I don't really want to have to add that just for the locator upgrade.

[Airomis]

I'm just thinking in terms as there should be a back up way to find the tardis before the unlock just incase on the first few trips they die from falling out of the door, mobs or any other random thing. Maybe have the the automatic return to home enabled by default on all tardis

Maybe a new button on the junk TARDIS that will hone in on the players exterior and land in a chunk near it ( 1 of the 8 border chunks )

Maybe the chunk that is selected is the arrival chunk... if the exterior is north of the junk TARDIS the junk will land in the south chunk as that would be the first chunk the junk would come across
