Teleportation scroll request

[Drakkan]

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

thanks alot for this as well man, probably I will need ton tuse it, still nice script

Hey folks, hoping this an appropriate thread to ask...
I have a dagger that teleports you to a new position when you equip it in hand - it calls a script in dungeon

function dagger1000StingsCursedEquip(self,champion,slot)
   	local ordinal = champion:getOrdinal()

   	local t = findEntity("stingTimer")
	local db = findEntity("daggerblocker1")
	local sb = findEntity("stings1000blocker1")
	local hb = findEntity("hiveBlocker")
	local position = hb:getWorldPosition()
	
	
	if db then
		db.go:destroy()
	end
	if sb then
		sb.go:destroy()
	end

	if slot == 1 or slot == 2 then
		if skill >= 5 then
			if not daggerblocker1 and not stings1000blocker1 then	
				spawn("blocker", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.elevation, party.facing, "stings1000blocker1")
				party:setWorldPosition(position)
				hudPrint("The 1000 Stings Curse takes you into the middle of a Shrakk Torr hive!!!")
			end
		else
			champion:removeItemFromSlot(slot)
      		spawn( "dagger_1000_stings_cursed",party.level,party.x,party.y,party.elevation,party.facing)
      		playSound("item_drop")
	  		hudPrint("You are not skillful enough to weild the exotic dagger....")
		end
		return true
	else
		playSound("item_drop")
	  	hudPrint(""..name..": This thing looks dangerous... be careful about holding it....")
	end	
end


function dagger1000StingsCursedUnequip(self,champion, slot)
   	
    local skill = champion:getSkillLevel("light_weapons")
    local name = champion:getName()
	local db = findEntity("daggerblocker1")
	local sb = findEntity("stings1000blocker1")
	local t = findEntity("stingTimer")
	local position = sb:getWorldPosition()
	
	if slot == 1 or slot == 2 then
		if t then
			t.go:destroy()
		end
      	if sb then
			party:setWorldPosition(position)
			hudPrint("The 1000 Stings Curse returns you to your world....")
			sb:destroy()
		end
		return true
	else
		playSound("item_drop")
	  	hudPrint(""..name..": This thing looks dangerous... be careful about holding it....")
	end	
end

I can equip the weapon, and get teleported to the new position and when I unequip the item, I am returned to my original position
BUT!! I fall about 2-3 levels of elevation (as if I have just fallen down a pit)

I figured if I used getWorldPosition that it would include the correct elevation, but it doesnt seem to be working that way for me...

Any thoughts?

I'd suggest using spawn ("teleporter") at party location (and then setting up the target, etc) because that way you set point to exact location, not using an offset (like setworldpos. does)

If yku want to use get/set position instead of setWorldPosition you could try setPosition, maybe it'll work

[Drakkan]

that dagger seems quite interesting ! nice addition to your weapon arsenal Akroma

@Bilchew - thanks! Teleporter was a good idea, this works fine now

@Drakkan - haha thanks! One of the more complicated items im trying to convert over (its cursed - and teleports you into the middle of a shrakk torr hive on equip - you need to kill all the shrakk torr to uncurse the item)
... which brings me to my next problem...
I know this is a bit off-topic but it is fairly simple fix I think (I am having trouble adapting to the new component system obviously)

I have this code in the same script... it checks to see if there are any shrakk torr in the area
the script returns false if there is, if there isnt - you have killed them all - then I simply want to get rid of the cursed item and put the uncursed version back into the same slot

         end

   return false

I have played around with the code in so many ways, cant seem to get it right

Hi Akroama. With you code I assume you have the following Entities:

Timer: stingTimer
teleport: stingsTeleportBack
blocker: stings1000blocker
hb: hiveBlocke

I don't understand how to connect any of these thing together with your code or the dagger object runs which script. I don't know if this is for your Mod only but if it is not can you show me what to do as this is awesome idea.

If you are testing you will need to paste 3x3 tiles into coords 1x 11y - 3x 13y (this is where the function checkForThings checks for shrakk torr

It all works except the bit where I go and check for the cursed item, remove it and replace it with the uncursed version (which should be the easy part, right!! )

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

for champ = 1,4 do
			for slot = 1,2 do
				local c = party.party:getChampion(champ)
				local item = c:getItem(slot)
				if item.go ~= nil and item.go.name == "dagger_1000_stings_cursed" then 
					itemFound = true
					stingchamp = champ
					stingslot = slot
				end
			end
		end
		if itemFound == true then
			local c = party.party:getChampion(stingchamp)
			c:removeItemFromSlot(stingslot)
			c:insertItem("dagger_1000_stings",stingslot)
			local timer = findEntity("stingHiveTimer")
			if timer then
				timer.go:destroy()
			end
			hudPrint("You have beaten back the stinging Shrakk Torr hordes!! ... and as such, lifted the curse on the dagger!!")
			--playSound("ressurect")
			return true
		end

Ultimately, the dagger works like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY1Pt-Loc80 (watch from 17:30)
except i am going to spawn the dagger into a hand slot instead of a floating invisible alcove (havent converted that yet)
EDIT - have just commented out the custom sounds you may not have

Nice going Akroma. Keep up the great work!

@Grimfan - thanks! To be honest I am tearing my hair out trying to convert stuff over (Quite confused, I am)
Still trying to get a grip on the new way of doing things.

@Mysterious - NOT for my mod only. Anyone can use this!
This is the last thing I need to sort before I can release the daggers pack I have been working on
Although I may wait till the swords and axes are finished too and release them all together

Just looking over the code i can't really see anything that stands out as wrong... What exactly is happening, and what isn't working?

Also. You are aware of the bug with "insertItem" that was fixed in one of the recent betas? (if you're on .13 you still have it)

Edit: rewrote your check-loop a bit. there were a few issues.

Code: Select all

for champ = 1,4 do
	for slot = 1,2 do
		local c = party.party:getChampion(champ)
		if c then
			local item = c:getItem(slot)
			print(c,item)
			if item and item.go.name == "dagger_1000_stings_cursed" then 
				c:removeItemFromSlot(slot)
				c:insertItem(slot,spawn("dagger_1000_stings").item)
				local timer = findEntity("stingHiveTimer")
				if timer then
					timer.go:destroy()
				end
				hudPrint("You have beaten back the stinging Shrakk Torr hordes!! ... and as such, lifted the curse on the dagger!!")
				--playSound("ressurect")
				return true
			end
		end
	end
end
