Newb to editing, cut me some slack...

Figured I'd screw around a bit, see what kinda "big secrets" I could find.... so I've installed 1.11n, and messing around with NMR.. Anyhow, not really related to NMR, I don't think, but how exactly do you "teleport" to different map/room numbers? I know people can do it, I've seen it happen, but just can't figure it out.

in game with a spell? or textblock?

to connect maps, there's a mapchange section on the exits, in the textblocks for just teleporting there's a teleport function.

[Hobo_Bill]

Ok, so how would I find this teleport function in the textblocks and use it? I figured out in NMR how to change what room I'm in, then save, exit and enter, and I'm there, but if you can teleport with textblocks that'd be a hell of alot simpler..

ability: teleportmap and teleportroom

[Hobo_Bill]

ok, and once you have those abilities, how are they used?

Its pretty easy... Although I am not EXACTLY sure what you are asking... If you are talking about making like a room that would teleport you to another room, using textblocks instead of map changes, cuz that will mess with peoples megamud, then you would do something like this:



To make a room that teleports you to Halls of the Dead in Silvermere, you would simply make a new room, attach it where you want it to be... Then make a new textblock, mine is 15002. Now you go to your teleporter room, and in the General Tab, Command Text box, punch in 15002, and hit save.



This is what my textblock looks like:





use circle:message 8614:teleport 2189 1 (LINEBREAK)

use arcane:message 8614:teleport 2189 1 (LINEBREAK)

use arcane circle:message 8614:teleport 2189 1 (LINEBREAK)





So, what happens is when someone is standing in my teleporter room, and they type use circle, use arcane, or use arcane circle; then message 8614 is displayed and they are teleported off to HOD.



I have a bunch of differant rooms which go to differant locations so I only have one teleport location to teleport to from each teleporter room, and therefore a textblock for each room as well. (Sounds simple, huh?) However, at each location that the teleports end up at I have a Command Text in that room set to 15001, which looks like this:





use circle:message 8614:teleport 5000 1 (LINEBREAK)

use arcane:message 8614:teleport 5000 1 (LINEBREAK)

use arcane circle:message 8614:teleport 5000 1 (LINEBREAK)





Now this I call my "Inbound Teleporting Room" :) And I have all my teleporter rooms linked to this room, thus not confusing peoples megamud.



I suppose that you could just use one textblock in each teleporting room to go to any other teleporting room, and that would be under Command Text and I would imagine would look something like this:





go silvermere:message 8614:teleport 2189 1 (LINEBREAK)

go rhudar:message 8614:teleport 2519 2 (LINEBREAK)





And so on... I don't know if this would be an easier method? Either way, I went the cluster f*ck way, and it works well...



If you wanted to do it with a spell, well, I could speculate, but I have no experiance with that, so I will leave that question to the pros! :wordup:



Hope this has been helpful, and not a waste of time... :rolleyes:

well, for a textblock, you would make a spell to teleport (search in mmudexplorer for teleportroom/map ability) and the textblock would link to that spell when activated. or you could just stick the spell on a scroll and learn the spell..

Ah ha!!! :wordup:

big_syner's way works too. *shrug*
