well allan the way this could work is if the chips are in range, right now there is no distuinguishing between who has the chips in fact when the char goes over the chip it doesn't vanish and makes the chip sound. My idea is that as long as the chips were picked up and all were in range that would be fine. In real life if someone other than the admeral found the chips he would already get them by default. in which case all you need to do is assume all 3 chips have been picked up as long as you or a member of your party not mattering who did it was visiting the location.
so if all chips are in range it shouldn't matter.It would also would be to assume that those that had the chips would just put them in the right sockets if ordered to do so or by default install the chips. now to input the code to do the field once installed would still be up to the admeral but however you want to manage this. Its a bit cumbersim to have to move the leader round would take to much time, it would mean wasting time when he was stuck somewhere else. Another thing you could do for each security or medic is just have an install chips skill, ofcause I am not sure how to make it work if the admeral actually gets the chips because he would automatically install them but yeah, I like the first option that if the chips are in range then the admeral has the chips. Ofcause with the new code for items in theory if you walk over a chip that doesn't need to get picked up till the admeral goes over and uses take on the chip which would make sence. I have just downloaded the latest dev, but as I mentioned a bit ago, I had some offline business to do today. said business has just happened and its unlikely I will be doing any serious hacking testing or otherwise today or tomorrow unless you have something for me to test.

On second thought...it isn't going to work.I would have to make three separate give skills cause there is three seperate points. If I put it into all one point, it will just be nice and easy to run over one of the isochip terrains three times and open the field. I have no way to limit how much the terrain hands out, nor do I have any way to easily transfer the chips, so I think we are stuck till items come out, that might work alot better then.al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:allan1.thompson@xxxxxxx>Allan Thompson To: <mailto:ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 7:54 PM Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: moment in time and titon hunt part 2 Hi Shawn,Yeah, in the real world, a captain of a capital ship would not be leading teams of seals into dangeorus situations. In fact, I doubt they would see the deck of their ship, except thru the solid gold ring of their bathroom porthole, lol. Officers in real life, unless they are part of the specially trained personnel like navy seals and the like, are generall not the ones who do the boarding party kind of thing.In trek, that is how they do it, cause it's sci fi action. Your the hero, so to speak, and so you get the job of picking up chips, lol.I will see how it works with giving all the redshirts a give to captain skill of some sort. I still think it will be more trouble then it is worth, but who knows, maybe it wont be too bad. I might have to shorten the timer then cause that will shave time off.I will let you know when I update it and we will see how it goes.I will still have the admiral unit do the actual close force field skill, cause if they all could do it then it would be just a mess.al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:sm.everiss@xxxxxxxxx>shaun everiss To: <mailto:ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 6:23 PM Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: moment in time and titon hunt part 2 no problem, yeah I shift people to the chip but if the admeral is the only 1 then no matter who is on the chip tile it shouldn't pick up till the admeral is there. if I wait to get the admeral it means I am exposing myself to enemy fire. I need to dispatch the 2 klingons anyway and after that well.
