No continues Fast-Travel though VClaimed Gates ?

Post by mvgulik »

Village-claimed gates:
Think fence-gates placed on village roads. (ie: no pclaim involved)

Seems to block continues fast-travel (ie:teleport), even when gate is open and character is village member.
Is this correct ? (ie: v-claimed gate will always block continues fast-travel, open or shut, for all.)

Intentional ?
- game-design or to keep code happy ?

(you can of course pick up the fast travel at the next pole ... ie: semi-continues.)

The reason this is so is because it's a bit tricky to implement the Visitor mechanic correctly over fast travel.

So its a bit of "better save than sorry" case. I can relate to that.

Ergo: "v-claimed gate will always block continues fast-travel, open or shut, for all" == True.

It would have been nice though. ... (maybe ... some day)

Thanks for info / confirmation.
