Teleporting

[Morts 0]

Hey guys, im making a map which requires a bit of teleporting to be involved, i have set it with triggers and radio commands.

E.g. Naming a trigger r1 and On Act: player setPos (getPos r1)

this works perfectly well, however when in multiplayer, it teleports EVERY human player, not just the one person, is there anyway of getting it to teleport just one player at a time, bearing in mind there are about 8 positions and would prefer not to over-script the mission. However if there is no other way, then i guess i will have to.

thanks in advance

Morts :)

Edit: never mind, I don't know how to check who activates a radio command.

Erm, that doesnt actually do anything, or do i need to name each player and put that in the target?

Do it from a addAction instead of a trigger.

sorry, i'm not very experienced, how can i do this?

[Deadfast 43]

unit addAction ["Teleport", "teleportScript.sqf"];

So i will have to script each destination into it, and this goes in the init line?

[jw custom 56]

Put this in the players init line: id1 = unit addAction ["Teleport", "teleportScript.sqf"];

Put this in a script named teleportScript.sqf:

player setPos (getPos r1);

player removeAction id1;

This will add a action to your players action menu and can be used 1 time. If you wanna use more than 1 time remove the "player removeAction id1;" part

Okey, and if i wanted to have more than one destination does it all go in one script, or seperate ones?

[jw custom 56]

Put this in the players init line: id1 = unit addAction ["Teleport", "teleportScript.sqf"];

Put this in a script named teleportScript.sqf:

player setPos (getPos r1);

player removeAction id1;

Oops, change unit to this

For more location you could pass the location as a argument to the script:

add to players init field:

id1 = this addAction["Teleport","Teleport.sqf", r1];

Then make a script named Teleport.sqf with this in it:

_loc = _this select 3;

player setPos (getPos _loc)

So if you wanted another player to go to a different location you could add this to his init field:

id1 = this addAction["Teleport","Teleport.sqf", r2];

If you want same player to be able to teleport to both r1 & r2 then simply add to addactions to the player:

id1 = this addAction["Teleport","Teleport.sqf", r1];

id2 = this addAction["Teleport","Teleport.sqf", r2];

You could also make them teleport via map click.

Put this in the players init field: id1 = this addAction["Teleport","Teleport.sqf"];

Then make a script named Teleport.sqf with this in it:

player globalChat "Click on map to teleport";

onMapSingleClick "player setPos _pos; true; onMapSingleClick '';";

Now you can click on your map and teleport to that location.

Sorry to ask more questions but the players name is id1, id2 etc?

No they are the id's of the addActions, you'll need them in case you wanna remove the addActions again.

Oh okay :) So the names of the actions are r1 as well as the destinations??

The r1, r2 and as many as you like are locations, they are just passed on as arguments to the script. This way you can use same script for all players but decide their location by the addAction.
