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
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?

Actually, I think Dave meant to say:

There’s nothing to stop you from shooting/throwing a weapon of some sort into a
wormhole, but you are, in this case, at a disadvantage. If fact, it needs to
follow the same rules as if you are trying to shoot at something you can’t see.

| (...) hmmm... that's how I think, but that's not how it was explained to me. I will agree that if you can see the other end of the wormhole, and see your target, you should be able to do SOME aiming... but it won't be easy! (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I had intended to *not* include the 'not' so that distance and speed relative to the attacker still applied as though the wormhole isn't there (since he has to look at the object *without* aid of the wormhole), but Dan's (...)
