spyderbytes Shock Trooper Member # 4180	written Friday, April 9 2004 02:07 Profile #0 When the party attempts to leave my starting town for the first time, I want them to be, essentially, abducted and forcibly taken to a different town. I tried using the EXIT_STATE of my town script, but while I can run my nifty little cutscene of the abduction there without a hitch, I can't seem to make the party end up in the other town instead of the outdoors (or ANYWHERE other than the outdoors square they would normally exit to, for that matter). So... what's the best way to do this? Set up a special encounter on all the squares just inside the town boundary? I don't particularly like that solution, since the party could, at least theoretically, go there and turn around back to the town proper without intentions of exiting. Anyone have any suggestions for some other way I haven't thought of? -spyderbytes -------------------- -spyderbytes Posts: 200 | Registered: Wednesday, March 31 2004 08:00

If that doesn't work, run it inside town boundaries and then add the move_to_town() call at the end of the cutscene without any time given for the party to move around. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

spyderbytes Shock Trooper Member # 4180	written Friday, April 9 2004 02:26 Profile #2 Yeah, that's what I was trying, but by the time you're in EXIT_STATE, it's too late for the move_to_new_town call to have any effect. I guess I'll expand my town boundaries by a square and then set up a special encounter running the full distance of them, one square inside. If the party goes that far outside the town gates, I guess I can safely assume they intend to leave instead of just poking around outside the walls. :) -spyderbytes -------------------- -spyderbytes Posts: 200 | Registered: Wednesday, March 31 2004 08:00

I haven't seen spyderbytes in a while, and this question was so old that you should've left it alone anyway. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
