    Hello mods and players,

    At the moment, a lot can be done with a 200x200 space, but we have only one home portal. I suggest we add a relocator sign that would teleport somebody to a given sign in the same city or township. This would allow us to subdivide our towns and make travel easier for people.

    We could make it similar to elevators and such, and include it of the ExtCreations+ package to increase desirability of that feature pack. Any constructive criticism is welcome.

    This would be pretty difficult to develop given that lifts teleport on a single axis while this would have to be configured to teleport on a 360 degree axis. Plus walking from one side of a town to another isn't that frustrating.

    So, you want warps inside towns?

    Presidents+ can do this with town to town portals.

    Considering that this would probably have to be custom I don't see it as a good use of development resources right now.

    I completely understand that this would be a special thing, and maybe not a good use of resources at this time. However, it should be relatively easy to implement, as it would simply be a direct link to a certain cartesian coordinate no more than 200 blocks away.

    I'm planning a town with different districts, and this would greatly facilitate this design, as well as anybody else who wanted to do something similar. Not crucial, but generally helpful overall.

    You should use town-town portals. You can place multiple portals in a single town. (though, it looks to be a president+ feature.)

    Thanks, kake. I didn't realize that option was available. Now I'll have to wait til I have enough money to afford President, plus the additional warps. Still, it sounds like something that should be possible with a sign and the ExtCreations+ feature.
