[Resolved] Town Portal type system

[porkupine]

I was just wondering if there was a way to create an item that could create a portal back to the main town and then send them back after they re-entered the portal (like in Diablo 2).

P.S. I'm using Blizz-ABS and I haven't gotten any conditional branches to work with it. So let me know if you know one that will work under those conditions.

You can do with with event editing, can't you? When they warp back, set the player's X, Y and MapID variables. Then when they step back into the portal, send the player to those variables.

He probably means as a skill..

You can still do that.

Yea its totally possible, if it were a skill i would create a skill called lik, Teleport Home and then a shell status effect for that skill called Teleporting Home and then a common event that teleports you home or xMap@xy coords when the status is inflected. But thats just me

 

[porkupine]

Would I do this with scripts in the common event? (And an item by the way)

Yes, make the event in common events, then link it in the "Common Events" box in the skills and items tabs.

Oh ok... could anyone tell me what that script would be?  :blush:

You dont use a script. You use a magical place called the database.

 

[porkupine]

I meant a script input for the common event  :tongue:

It's not a script, it's a list of commands. Try something like this:

 @>Conditional Branch: Switch [Teleported] == Off
   @>Control Variables: [Player X] = Player's Map X
   @>Control Variables: [Player Y] = Player's Map Y
   @>Control Variables: [Player Map] = Map ID
   @>Transfer Player: [New Map, (X,Y)]
   @>Control Switches: [Teleported] = ON
  : Else
   @>Transfer Player: [Variable(Player Map), Coordinates(Player X, Player Y)]
   @>Control Switches: [Teleported] = OFF
  : End Processing

 

[porkupine]

I get an error saying "Unable to find file Data/Map000.rxdata"

I did everything you wrote, and I couldn't figure it out...

 

[regi]

Make sure the variables you're using are different and aren't being used by other events. Right now it looks like the variable "Map ID" is 0, which it shouldn't be.

 

[porkupine]

Ok, I can teleport to the town, but there is no way of getting back to the dungeon...

Repeat the same process to take it to the dungeon perhaps?

 

[porkupine]

Ahhh.. I figured it out.  I just set a switch to spawn a portal at the town. And I told it to transfer player back to playerx, playery, and mapID.

Thanks everyone :D
