Thread: Teleport and getting stuck problem

To make the trigger not require the 'use' key or 'E' to be used, you need to change it from a trigger_use to a trigger_multiple .

Code:

local.trig = spawn trigger_use origin local.fx.origin
TO
local.trig = spawn trigger_multiple origin local.fx.origin

I was just thinking of this , what about before it teleports the player, it checks to make sure the destination is free before it allows the teleport to be used.

Yes, that is a good idea Purple!
Only thing is a player could still sabotage the game by staying put after they teleport..
But how about creating multiple exits?

I've made this multi-exit teleport script that gives access to a bashing-only area behind the west gate at map 4.
It uses two array's, one for the destination coords and another one to correctly 'face' the player after teleport.

Would it be possible to add a check that detects if a destination is occupied, and if so skips to the next destination etc. etc. ?

This is what I have so far:

Code:

port6:
level.dest = makeArray
" 0 4973 254.46 "
" -134 6271 317.21 "
" 777 6541 351.12 "
" 900 7612 325.80 "
" 2240 7217 320.13 "
endArray

level.face = makeArray
" 0 90 0 "
" 0 -73 0 "
" 0 102 0 "
" 0 -114 0 "
" 0 164 0 "
endArray

local.fx = spawn script_model model "fx/corona_red.tik"
local.fx.origin = ( 0 4746 322 )
local.fx notsolid
local.fx.scale = 2

local.trig = spawn trigger_use
local.trig.origin = local.fx.origin
local.trig setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 )

local.num = 1
while(1)
{
local.trig waitTill trigger
local.fx hide
local.player = parm.other
local.player tele level.dest[local.num][1]
local.player face level.face[local.num][1]
    if(getcvar "hammer" == "1")
        {
        exec global/spawnhandler.scr::hammer local.player
        local.player iprint "You have HAMMER ONLY behind this gate!" 1
        local.player.name = netname local.player
        iprintln ("Basher '" + local.player.name + "' has just entered the Bashing-Area!")
        }
local.num ++
if(local.num > level.dest.size  && local.num > level.face.size) {local.num = 1}
wait 2
local.fx show
}
end

I've searched the bowels of the internet because I can remember seeing a thread on some
forum about a trigger that checked if the tele destination was blocked and would not
release the trigger until the destination was vacant. But can't find it anywhere anymore...
But with a multiple exit teleport, it would just teleport you to the next destination

Could that be done, Purple?

I had just replied to a post of yours on TMT , but you could use the same method i think ,

This is untested but i think is along the lines of what needs to be done, you might have to adjust the vector_within radius to suit your needs

Code:

port6:
level.dest = makeArray
" 0 4973 254.46 "
" -134 6271 317.21 "
" 777 6541 351.12 "
" 900 7612 325.80 "
" 2240 7217 320.13 "
endArray

level.face = makeArray
" 0 90 0 "
" 0 -73 0 "
" 0 102 0 "
" 0 -114 0 "
" 0 164 0 "
endArray

local.fx = spawn script_model model "fx/corona_red.tik"
local.fx.origin = ( 0 4746 322 )
local.fx notsolid
local.fx.scale = 2

local.trig = spawn trigger_use
local.trig.origin = local.fx.origin
local.trig setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 )

local.num = 1

while(1)
{
local.trig waitTill trigger
local.fx hide
local.player = parm.other

    ///Loops through until the player is teleported
    while(local.player.teleported != 1)
    {
    //Resets occupied status
    local.tele_occupied = 0
    
    //loops all players, 
    for(local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size;i++)
          {
            local.person = $player[local.i]   
                ///Checks if destination is occupied by a player , if it is , then sets local.tele_occupied = 1 
                if(vector_within level.dest[local.num][1] local.person.origin 25) // adjust radius if needed 
                local.tele_occupied = 1
          }
          
          //If occupied, then skips to next destination
          if(local.tele_occupided == 1)
              {
              local.num ++
              //Double check we dnt go over limit
              if(local.num > level.dest.size  && local.num > level.face.size)
              local.num = 1
              }
          else
              {
             /// If not occupied, teleports player
             local.player tele level.dest[local.num][1]
             local.player face level.face[local.num][1]
             local.player.teleported = 1
    
                if(getcvar "hammer" == "1")
                    {
                    exec global/spawnhandler.scr::hammer local.player
                    local.player iprint "You have HAMMER ONLY behind this gate!" 1
                    local.player.name = netname local.player
                    iprintln ("Basher '" + local.player.name + "' has just entered the Bashing-Area!")
                    } 
                            
            break;
             }     
    }

     
local.num ++
if(local.num > level.dest.size  && local.num > level.face.size)
local.num = 1

wait 2
local.fx show
}
end

Ops yea looks like my bad again with the typo lol

Try this one, i removed the break; which was probably causing it , i was working on my schoolwork when i wrote it lol different programming language , shocked i didnt write end Loop; or return; lol

also added a iprintln when its occupied to help with the testing, can remove it when you want..
