TARDIS

Tardis World Teleport
I think a cool feature for use in single player would be an in game (in Tardis) map switcher. I know you can enter "map <mapname>" in the console to switch to that map so maybe another monitor that brings up a gui with a list of maps that you can select to travel to and upon clicking on a map like gm_bigcity for example it automatically enters "map gm_bigcity" in the console, takes you there and then auto places the tardis at the spawn with you in it.

Good idea, but how will the tardis spawn in the other map???:steamhappy:

Maybe it could even save the map you were just on so that it essentially makes your exploring/building/whatever space a whole lot bigger and you can choose a saved world in the gui as well

I have no idea lol but I noticed it was in the git hub for expected features

The spawn thing I mean

Wont work , because if you choose a different map to spawn in then obviously nothing is loaded , i dont think it can be done , unless gmod decide to bring out a new multi map system , which i think it will be unlikely because it will cause lag

Couldn't you just add a script that spawns the tardis after loading or something? I don't really know much about coding but it seems like you could select a new world in the tardis but when you get to the new world it kinda sets you right outside the tardis like you just left it but in reality it just auto places the tardis entity right beside you upon finishing loading.. maybe even play rhe sound from legacy tardis of the doors closing..I've actually tested changing maps using the "map" and "changelevel map" commands from the console and those both work.. I think this could work I just wish I knew how to code a little better.. well.. A lot better lol

perhaps a way to wait in the console room while the other map loads, something along those lines would be cool

DoctorHugoSource has a video on his channel showing himself traveling map to map. But he did it in VR as well.

Now tell me it's impossible.

I'm still waiting to be able to use a tardis. Virtual or not, earth is boring.

I've been testing Hugo's extensions, and yes, map to map travel is ABSOLUTELY possible and fully-functional. I can load the TARDIS on gm_flatgrass, then head to construct. Or I can head to mars, jupiter, space, a space station, back in the 90s, the future, all of it!

I load into a map, and it loads the TARDIS with me. Simple and always been possible, nobody ever tried it before and just claimed impossible.

Can't believe it took 8 years. By this rate, I'll have to build the real life TARDIS. Dimensional Engineering can't be THAT ridiculous as we think.
