Teleportation scroll request

[Drakkan]

Please somebody could define scroll of teleportation ?
After use (right click) it will be destroyed and it will teleport party to some coordinates. thanks

Sort of a WIP, somebody could probably improve what I made so far.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "teleport_scroll",
	baseObject = "tome_wisdom",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/scroll.fbx",
			castShadow = true,
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Teleportation Scroll",
			gfxIndex = 112,
			description = "Reading this will warp you to another location.",
			weight = 0.3,
		},
		{
			class = "UsableItem",
			sound = "teleport",
			onUseItem = function(self)
				teleportScroll.script.onUseItem(self)
			end
		},
	},
}

Code: Select all

function onUseItem(self)

	warp = spawn("teleporter", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
	warp.teleporter:setTeleportTarget(1, 7, 22, 0)  -- (Target Level, Target X, Target Y, Target Elevation)

end

This works as intended, just define the top code as an object and put the bottom code in a script entity named "teleportScroll," but there are quite a few limitations depending on how you want to use this:
Since the scrolls only call the onUseItem function of the "teleportScroll" script, they can only teleport you to the one location you set. If somebody could figure out a way to set a target for each scroll, then it will be possible to have a unique target for each scroll.

I have placed few scroll on floor and used on of them - editor crashed with this



btw:I am ok if each of these scroll will return you to the same location. I see you tried to solve it with spawning teleport. What about some setPartyposition command directly just with for example playing teleport sound ? Btw not sure if I see that in script but scroll should be destroyed after use (and the spawned teleport as well)

You could try defining something like array of destinations:

Code: Select all

teleportScrollCoords = {1,1,7,22,0, -- 1st scroll - Target Level, Target X, Target Y, Target Elevation
						2,1,9,30,0 -- 2nd scroll - Target Level, Target X, Target Y, Target Elevation
						}

Then, your onUseItem(self) would check id of scroll that was used. This could work that way in theory - I didn't test it...

Code: Select all

function onUseItem(self) -- can it go with sender instead of self ? Can it pass BOTH variables ? 

   warp = spawn("teleporter", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
   local scrollID = string.sub(self.go.id,16) -- as long if it's scroll's ID "teleport_scroll_x"
   local dl = teleportScrollCords[scrollID + 1]
   local dx = teleportScrollCords[scrollID + 2]
   local dy = teleportScrollCords[scrollID + 3]
   local de = teleportScrollCords[scrollID + 4]
   warp.teleporter:setTeleportTarget(dl,dx,dy,de)  -- (Target Level, Target X, Target Y, Target Elevation)

end

Alright, so I overlooked the teleporter staying where it was.

I started messing with getWorldPosition and setWorldPosition and this is what I came up with:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "teleport_scroll",
	baseObject = "tome_wisdom",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/scroll.fbx",
			castShadow = true,
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Teleportation Scroll",
			gfxIndex = 112,
			description = "Reading this will warp you to another location.",
			weight = 0.3,
		},
		{
			class = "UsableItem",
			sound = "teleport",
			onUseItem = function()
				teleportTarget.script.onUseItem() -- name the script entity "teleportTarget"
			end
		},
	},
}

Code: Select all

function onUseItem()
	local target = self.go:getWorldPosition()
	party:setWorldPosition(target)
	spawn("teleportation_effect", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
end

Also, be sure to rename your script entity to "teleportTarget" (it used to be "teleportScroll") or using the item will give you an error, because the item is looking for something that doesn't exist. The scroll will now warp the party to the location of the script entity itself.

Edit: Added a teleportation effect to the script.

Scticked in the superthread as useful item

Glad I could help

I think I found a solution to have multiple scrolls, each with different target:

1. Changed your object definition a bit to send ID of scroll which was used:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   name = "teleport_scroll",
   baseObject = "tome_wisdom",
   components = {
      {
         class = "Model",
         model = "assets/models/items/scroll.fbx",
         castShadow = true,
      },
      {
         class = "Item",
         uiName = "Teleportation Scroll",
         gfxIndex = 112,
         description = "Reading this will warp you to another location.",
         weight = 0.3,
      },
      {
         class = "UsableItem",
         sound = "teleport",
         onUseItem = function(self)
            teleportTarget.script.validateTarget(self.go.id) -- name the script entity "teleportTarget"
         end
      },
   },
}

2. Place script_entity with name teleportTarget (doesn't matter where) and put inside:

Code: Select all

teleport_scroll_targets = {"teleport_scroll_1",1,25,12,0, -- {scrollID,level,X,Y,elevation}
							"teleport_scroll_2",1,27,12,0}


function validateTarget(sender)
	for i = 1,#teleport_scroll_targets do
		if teleport_scroll_targets[i] == sender then
			local targetL = teleport_scroll_targets[i+1]
			local targetX = teleport_scroll_targets[i+2]
			local targetY = teleport_scroll_targets[i+3]
			local targetE = teleport_scroll_targets[i+4]
			moveToTarget(targetL,targetX,targetY,targetE)
		end
	end
end

function moveToTarget(L,X,Y,E)
	local tp = spawn("teleporter", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
	tp.teleporter:setTeleportTarget(L,X,Y,E)
	tp:destroyDelayed(1)
end

This one actually works, my previous entry in this thread was rather messy

Just tried yours out Blichew, works perfectly.
