zapdevil Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We have a police box/TARDIS base item on top of our portal. When zoning in (from a base portal, or using the Base TP power), I am getting trapped in the box. This is regardless of camera position, character, hovering or on the ground. "/stuck" only shifts me around inside the box, I can't jump out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those with editing permissions, using the "/editbase 1" and then removing or moving the tardis out of the field fixes it for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have teleport, you might be able to teleport out and then go into the base editor and move the blue police-call box off of the entry portal so that you don't zone in inside of it. At least I'm assuming your TARDIS is broken and stuck looking like blue police-call box. They are so much easier to work with when they blend in with the environment the way that they are supposed to. @Dacy do you have any other ideas to help them out?

zapdevil Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Teleporting out did not work, but removing the TARDIS did. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Amusing that I saw this and went "Gee, I should check my bases since I put Tardis' in many" and then only later note zapdevil is in my SG.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorDitko Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Don't forget that logging your character out of the game will get you out of any place you get trapped in a base. And if for some reason you need a back-door way to enter your base: Try self-destructing and choose to go to your base rez machine instead of the hospital. Hope you get your TARDIS fixed soon!

Zhym Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Yeah, I had to remove my base portal TARDIS too. I wonder what part of the patch caused this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, zap has edit access to that particular base. Can't remember if his base moved the portal to not have the menu popup for anyone with edit privilege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually, the Doctor's broken TARDIS is only a TARDIS. There are other ones in the series. I don't think any of the other ones are broken so that they can't chameleon shape-shift to blend in with the surrounding area.

Is that correct? "/editbase 1" did indeed work from inside the TARDIS. I assume it launches the base editor from wherever you are in the base including if you happen to be stuck in a police box 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Game Master GM Impervium Posted October 19, 2022 Lead Game Master Share Posted October 19, 2022 I think the issue is that, pre-patch, you would automatically run out of the portal, which you still do when entering a zone from the portal. But now, characters no longer run out of the portal when entering an SG base. So if you have objects in your portal, you're gonna get stuck in there. Unsure if this is intended or not. @CR Americas Angel, @Dacy, what are your thoughts? GM ImperviumHomecoming FAQ; Need a hand? File a Support Ticket! Want to lend a hand? Apply to be a GM!

Retired Community Rep Dacy Posted October 19, 2022 Retired Community Rep Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'm thinking the patch has done this. I'm guessing the TARDIS could just be raised, that its item box is intersecting the player item box, and some item boxes are stickier than others (that's just my experience, not a set in stone programming code note). I had a working portal that's hidden inside of things, but I used hidden markers to make sure the interactive surface still showed. It worked great until the patch; the tweak they made for PvP (because the portal and the interdimensional shard and I think the Vanguard portal were hijacking the rez rings) has changed this so now, your portal needs to be free of anything that has collision, at least clear enough so that a player's hit box is unaffected. Place and test to be sure. -Dacy 2 -Dacy Retired CR Active Base Advocate My base building tutorials are always available for you! Want to join the Base Builder's Discord?

lemming Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Yea, I just went thru all the bases I have edit ability on. Ones with more solid objects, you get stuck in. The one base I used a teleport bay (? not sure of name since I closed HC before checking forum...) with openings worked fine since you can run thru it.
