Teleport

[Gangrenous]

Everyone remembers these things in South Qeynos, they are not a zone object, more like some type of emitter. If I wanted to use these as a teleporter, what are my options? I could put an invisible NPC in place but I am not seeing how to make a spawn invis.

`transporters` table should allow you to set a location that when a player enters it they are automatically teleported to the destination.

Not seeing anywhere in the editor to modify this, guess I know what I will be doing today.

In case anyone else has the same questions as me, here is the original thread by LethalEncounter.

This is working perfectly except the heading on the destination appears to always go to 180 degrees no matter what I set it for.

[Jabantiz]

Heading is not used when it is a port within the same zone.

Notes:
1. destination_heading is only used if the player leaves the zone.

So you cannot steer the player's heading when they are in the same zone? I would think you would want to. We may really want to change that.

So minor change to zoneserver.cpp, mostly works except that thing where some headings seem to spin you in the wrong direction. Case in point a heading of 120 puts you at 300, exactly 180 degrees off. Your previous code solved that issue so my source now has this in zoneserver.ccp around line 2596

Code: Select all

EQ2Packet* packet = client->GetPlayer()->Move(loc->destination_x, loc->destination_y, loc->destination_z, client->GetVersion(), (loc->destination_heading == 0 ? -1.0f : (loc->destination_heading + 180.0f)));
