Some Problems

You get NOTHING Warrior Member # 4987	written Tuesday, October 12 2004 14:04 Profile Homepage #0 Ok got a couple questions. 1. Every scenario has a start location in town, and one out of town. However, if I wanted a party to leave a town and end up straight into another (For Example: starting at the bottom level of a dungeon) how would I implement that without having the party appear outdoors until they reached the top level? 2. Is there any way for the introduction to a scenario to be different depending on what race(s) were chosen from the beggining? (BTW I thought about making the exits to the bottom levels be special encounters instead of actual exits, that might work, anyone know the call to make a special encounter take you to a different town?)

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Tuesday, October 12 2004 15:39 Profile #1 move_to_new_town() is the call you are looking for, but it might not work because it can only be called from the player stepping on a space. Why don't you just block the real boundaries of the town and place these specials in a convincing place? After all, the party can't leave to the outdoors when they can't walk out of town. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

You get NOTHING Warrior Member # 4987	written Tuesday, October 12 2004 16:27 Profile Homepage #2 Ok, Thanks, but with the move_to_new_town() call, is there another call to put them at a certain x,y? or how would I govern what entrance they would be arriving at?

I'm sure that this capability will look better when dialog pictures are added. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

You get NOTHING Warrior Member # 4987	written Tuesday, October 12 2004 19:01 Profile Homepage #6 Ok thanx. Sadly, I was looking for a way to change the beggining intro, but oh well. Every time I find a good thing about the editor, I also find a limitation which sadly dampens the entirety of the game. Posts: 60 | Registered: Sunday, September 19 2004 07:00
