World Teleport Location

dragonfly3 · 11-12-2011 07:50 AM

Using world teleport tutorial we have the teleport working but cannot see the position within the world. We are using an object with access mode set to constant for the teleport trigger instead of a particle. We set a waypoint to teleport to but the location is not changing.

Code snippet:
In SaveGame.cpp:

Code:

if(player_data.size()) // if the file contains any data

   {

      player_data.pos(0); // reset file position to the start

      Game::Waypoint *waypoint=Game::World.getWaypoint("TeleportFrom_pvpisland");

      //Vec v2 = waypoint->points[0].pos;

      Vec *v2 = new Vec(809, 16.5, 59);

      Game::World.objInject(OBJ_PLAYER, player_data, v2);

We think the objInject function isn't doing what we want. We thought the vector was the location to teleport to in the new world. Instead we always appear at the start point (start x,y,z axis of terrain) in the world.

Any ideas as to what we're missing or how we can get it to work?

so the location is not changing at all, or you're transported to (0,0,0) position?
do you delete the original player before adding one from File data?

objInject works by setting position using Game::Obj::pos(..) if the position pointer is specified

Position isn't changing. We aren't being teleported to 0,0,0.

When you open the world editor and load or start a world the colored x,y,z axis arrows appear on the sea level grid. I assumed that this was a default start position for the camera. THIS position is the position that we are being teleported to. So I'm guessing this axis point for a world is more than just an editor camera default point and is somehow the default teleport point. We're just not sure how or where to find how in the tutorial/sample code.

We deleted the player from the Players structure in World1 as in the tutorial. It seems the only thing done to player data is:

Code:

player_data.pos(0); //reset file position to the start

We thought that adding a vector to the objInject function call would put the object there. Is there something that we are missing or forgetting?

Hi,

Quote:colored x,y,z axis arrows

the axis is 0,0,0 position
you say that player gets teleported to that location:

Quote:THIS position is the position that we are being teleported to.

So I understand correctly you are teleported to the axis which is 0,0,0 position?

Aaah, ok. I didn't realize that position was 0,0,0. So then yes, that is the location we are being teleported to.

So any ideas on what we are missing?

We don't want to teleport to 0,0,0. We want to teleport to the waypoint we have set. What are we missing in our code? Is there a better way to do this other than using a waypoint?

I'm going to throw something in the ring here that might be dumb as I haven't read the whole thread, but have you looked at the Multiple Worlds tutorial in the Projects folder. I believe it does exactly what you want?

dragonfly3 · 11-26-2011 08:16 PM

Yes, we used the multiple worlds tutorial to do our teleport but we are not using a particle to teleport, we are using an object. The problem we are having is that when the player is teleported he's teleported to 0,0,0 and not the location we designated via waypoint.

fatcoder · 11-27-2011 01:40 AM

So why not use a "teleport" particle with no emitter so you can't see it at the location you want to teleport to.

Alternatively, just create your player at 0,0,0 in the world, then moving him to the right location after he's been created.

can you post your current code?

if you're teleporting to the same world, there is no need to use objInject, but just change player position

plr.pos(Game::World.getWaypoint("TeleportFrom_pvpisland")->points[0].pos);

I posted our current code at the beginning of this thread.

We are teleporting from one world to another. We are teleporting from pvpisland.world to teleport_test.world.

We have the actual teleport working, but it will not teleport to the waypoint we want it to teleport to. Instead, it keeps teleporting to 0,0,0.

are you using any custom save/load method for your player class? does it correctly handle super save load?

dragonfly3 · 12-01-2011 11:37 PM

We just copied it from the tutorial

**Esenthel** · 12-02-2011 04:43 PM

what happens if you just teleport to current world to some other location:
player.pos(Vec(..));
does that work correctly?

if you use save/load during game (Game::World.save,load), does the player save and load correctly? (especially its position)
