Teleportation

[sjberry3]

Anyone having issues with the teleportation pads. No one is using them and it's got to be quicker than walking from one side of the campus to the other

Outside of the campus where it was first unlocked I've never seen anyone use it in any other campus where I've built them.

And even on the campus that originally unlocked it, I don't think it's used well. I never see anyone "enter" the pads, they seem to just appear on them and then walk back inside of a building. So I'm not even sure how they are supposed to function.

I thought they would let students jump from one campus plot to another but like I said, I never see anyone enter a pad. They just seem to randomly teleport from somewhere inside a building, onto the pads and then have to walk back inside to get where they were going, I can't say it has ever shortened anyone's trip.

It seems like random use to me. I've tried placing them in different locations and they still rarely get used, while they remain unhappy about distance. They literally walk across the teleportation pad with the red question mark over their head and walk to the destination across another pad. I've also never seen them used outside of the original campus, no matter where they are placed, or what courses/students there are.

Only one type of student uses teleport pads, the Space Cadets. They use their "Beam Up" capability to teleport to any pad on campus, they don't move between two pads, and nobody else uses them. As such, they're only useful on campuses where the Space Academy course is running.

Yeah this seem to be the case, tried building them on the next 2 maps in that campaign and noone ever used it

Oh, that's unfortunate. I was *really* hoping I could use them on other levels.

It can be used on other campus, but only by students that get the beam up skill, which I think might only be space cadets, so you'd have to open space academy course in other schools
