Guys, I'm trying to appear in an outdoor section from a central point in my town, using the code from CoNR, but it isn't working. Any ideas why? -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Changing the party's outdoor location doesn't put them outdoors. It just changes where they will end up when they walk out of town. There is no call to put them directly outdoors. You have to make them walk out of the town. You could work around this by moving them into a new town that looked the same as the first but had boundaries right next to where the characters are standing, but this might not accomplish what you want. EDIT: Also I think block_party is not a call. You probably intended block_entry.

Are you sure? because when I try to run that spot it also says BAD TERM IN EXPRESSION in line 49. (There is no line 49!) Is that just my code, or the program (it's probably just the code - but it doesn't hurt to know) -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

It's probably objecting to state 13. You have a single equals instead of a double equals -- it should read if (get_flag(66,2) == 0) { EDIT: Also you have a floating run_dialog call. That is a SHORT, not a VOID, remember? At worst you have to say something like i = run_dialog(1); rather than what you're doing.

Probably because they're leaving the town to the north. If they can only leave the town to the north and you want them to end up on a particular spot, move their outdoor location to one space south of that spot. That is, the outdoor location is where the town (hypothetically) would be. If they leave to the north, they're going to walk a step north from that town. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Thanks again guys! It works now (all of it). And it only took a few hours of trying. (or a few MINUTES for you lot.
