Uses

Preventing Unauthorised Tardis Landings

The Transduction Barrier can prevent any Tardis without a matching Landing Code from landing within a 25 block radius of this block.

Any Tardises that don't have the same Landing Code will be redirected (without warning) to a random block position outside the radius. 

Setting Traps for Unauthorised Players

Transduction Barriers can be used in conjunction with Landing Pads and other mechanics to create deadly traps for intruding Tardis pilots. For example, a Transduction Barrier can be used to push out unauthorised Tardises, and Landing Pads can be used to force a Tardis to land on the pad that is set within a trap. 

Usage

Preventing Unauthorised Tardis Landings

Setting Up Landing Codes

  1. Hold a Sonic Screwdriver
  2. Right click with the screwdriver on the Transduction Barrier. A GUI will shown on Screen
  3. Enter a landing code. Do not use characters that cannot be viewed without requiring tools such as Notepad++
Powering the Transduction Barrier

To allow the Transduction Barrier to take effect, it must be powered by Forge Energy (Redstone Flux) and a Redstone signal. 

The Transduction Barrier requires 1 Forge Energy Units per second and will drain 500 Forge Energy Units each time it blocks an unauthorised Tardis from landing.(Configurable via Server Config) 

It can store up to 10,000 FE by default, meaning it can block up to 20 times. 

The Transduction Barrier must be constantly powered by a Redstone Signal to remain active. If there is no Redstone Signal present, it will not function. 

Viewing Transduction Landing Code

Allowing Players Access to Protected Areas

You can allow Transduction barrier protected areas by setting the Landing Code of a Tardis to match that of the Transduction Barrier Code.
