Groovejet Warrior Member # 2838	written Monday, August 2 2004 09:04 Profile #0 I want that after certain event the location of a character in a town is changed. For example, there is a townperson that is jailed and after you proove he is innocent he returns to his home. How do I make this happen in the editor? I was thinking that the best would be to make the second character belong to a hidden group and put a script on the init town state that after certain flag is set, erase the first one and makes the second one appear. -------------------- …../|,-‘`¯¯`\(o)_\,----,,,_……… …( `\(o),,_/` ¯ : o : :: o`-, … I'm under your bed.

The other way that comes to mind is to use relocate_character, but then you may have trouble with the character thinking that its starting location is elsewhere and trying to return to it. You'd have to give it a special script in order for that to work, so your best bet is probably exactly what you described. EDIT: Bah, the call is relocate_character, not relocate_char.

Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Wednesday, August 4 2004 12:06 Profile Homepage #3 For Isaacs, you'll probably want to use the RELOCATE_CHARACTER(character number,x location, y location) call. It's somewhere in the scripts. (cut scenes section (that's for teleporting and such. For anything else...
