I'd suggest that this be changed - A unit shooting through the wormhole
needs to calculate (in it's head) relationships between 4 objects:  The
shooter, the portal entrance, the portal exit, and the target.  Add to
this the fact that it's shooting not in the direction it's looking at,
and I'd say that shot is a lot harder to make.

Also, in some cases, the shot is just not possible.  Bad ascii art
follows:


  ___ <---- portal              * <---- target


                             |
        portal exit -------> |
                             |





   * <--- shooter


There's just no way the shooter can shoot through the portal, and
actually hit the target - unless it's some sort of heat seeking missile,
I guess.

Comments?
