Wormholes

Interstellar Peekaboo with a chance of heat death

The Wormhole { } node of the Kopernicus Expansion provides the ability to transform bodies into wormholes to other bodies.

Example

Body
{
  Wormhole
  {
    partner = WormholeTarget
    influenceAltitude = 8000
    jumpMaxAltitude = 7700
    jumpMinAltitude = 10
    entryMessage = Entering the wormhole.
    exitMessage = Bye, wormhole!
    heatRate = 0.1
    entryMsgDuration = 7
    exitMsgDuration = 7
  }
}

Property	Format	Description
partner	String	The name of the destination body.
influenceAltitude	Double	The altitude in meters at which the wormhole will start to affect the ship. Below this height, the ship is uncontrollable.
jumpMaxAltitude	Double	The maximum periapsis height for jump to occur.
jumpMinAltitude	Double	The minimum periapsis height for jump to occur.
heatRate	Double	The amount of heat, in Kelvins, applied to the ship per frame while jumping.
entryMessage	String	The message displayed when entering the influenceAltitude.
exitMessage	String	The message displayed when exiting the influenceAltitude.
entryMsgDuration	Single	The number of seconds that the entry message is on-screen. This value is optional, and the default is 2.
exitMsgDuration	Single	The number of seconds that the exit message is on-screen. This value is optional, and the default is 2.
