Okay, I'm trying to use move_to_new_town at the end of a cutscene, and everything else in the particular state works. However, once it reaches... move_to_new_town(4,12,22); it stops working (i.e.: nothing happens). I'm using Mac OS X, with version 1.1.2 of BoA. Anybody know of a solution/workaround? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

You can only call move_to_new_town from one of those blue special rectangles. (That is, not from a creature script, terrain script, town START_STATE, town INIT_STATE, item, etc.) This sounds like the most likely culprit. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Groan... I was afraid of that. The call was in a state reached from START_STATE in a town. This will mean another plot alteration... At least I'm finally fixing my scenario's ending. It'll be interesting to re-release it and see what people think of it... (and I finally fixed the dragon's name.

Groan... good thing I wasn't ready to send it in yet. Note: Really didn't intend the similarity, it just leapt to mind as something close to the old name.

Why not just find the etymology of a devious-sounding word and make a name out of it? For instance, Ubilus. Can't be corrupted, and it doesn't sound TOO bad. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Can't you use a set_state_continue(STATE WITH MOVE TOWN CALL); ?I think that's acceptable under INIT_STATE and Cutscenes. - Archmagi Micael -------------------- "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!

quote:No. Even if you use set_state_continue or run_town_script or run_scenario_script to get out of an INIT_STATE, START_STATE, creature script, terrain script, or whatever, BoA still keeps track of where the sequence started, and if it started from anything but a blue rectange, it still dies the moment you use move_to_new_town. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Yep... tried it, and it didn't work unless I put it in the blue rectangle. In any case, the ending works better like that. Kharprev. Doesn't sound like much of anything. Just opened to K in the disctionary and modified something. Once I (try to) fix the bugs that keep appearing for Windows users, I should be able to release 2.0 of this scenario. And I've managed to avoid a few stupid things that I couldn't find alternatives to with the contest deadline on. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
