There is a workaround using the ssnuse() wac command to teleport, but that won't work for all players at once. In SGMod they had a special teleport object that could hold up to 20 people and was invisible. That object doesn't exist in JO however, there you will have to use attach points like vehicles, weapon emplacements or chairs instead, which hold less people (you can't teleport more people then you have attach points with ssnuse, if you teleport somebody to a attach point but he can't attach the map will crash). Using the PLOOP command you can loop each player and execute code for him. For example (you might need to change the trigger because as far as I remember area triggers also don't work in nile): PLOOP if ssnarea3d(player, 2) and !ssnride(82) then ssn2ssn(player,82) ssnuse(player) endif END This will loop each player and check if he is inside the teleport area. Then it will check if the chair (ssn 82) is free, and if so, teleport the player to it. Then, once the player detached from the chair, the next one can teleport. You could add another player loop before this one that calls ssnrelease in case a player is sitting on the chair, then you can teleport 1 player per second. | ||

The ssnride(xx) command is used to check if somebody is sitting on top of an object. By using !ssnride(xxx) (the ! means not) you can check if nobody is using ssn xxx at the moment. This is required as the game will crash when you teleport somebody to an object that is either destroyed or somebody else is using it. When you made sure the object you will use to teleport the player to is free, you can use ssn2ssn to order the player to go there, and ssnuse to attach him to it. The ssn2ssn(xxx,yyy) command has 2 parameters, xxx is the ssn of the object you want to teleport, and yyy is the object you want to teleport him to. In case you are using PLOOP, you can use 'player' as first parameter, this variable will hold the ssn of the player. As second parameter, use the ssn of the teleport object (same ssn you used for ssnride(xxx). So the template for a teleport device is this:
if <teleport active trigger> then
You will have to fill in 3 things here: <teleport active trigger> Replace this with the condition under which the teleport device is active (for example ssndead(2104), once ssn 2104 is killed the teleport device will be active) <player teleport condition> Replace this with the condition under which a player will teleport (for example ssnonssn(player,252), will teleport the player when he is standing on top of ssn 252) <target ssn> Replace this with the ssn of the object you use as teleport target, for example a chair with ssn 243. So with these 3 example values, your code will be:
if ssndead(2104) then
You can teleport more players at once by using more targets, and you can also force players to release to make room for others, but that will make the code even more difficult. Better start with something simple and get that working first. | ||

| Registered Member #1336 Joined: Tue Jul 25 2006Location: Netherlands (Rotterdam) Posts: 267 | It's ages since I used this, I mostly use teleport targets because they work better and are much easier to use. But I tested a bit more, and came out with this:
if ssndead(2104) then
This should teleport 1 player per second once the commander is dead when they are standing on ssn 252. The first loop will release players from the chair, the second loop will teleport the next player to it. [ Edited Sun Nov 09 2008 ] | ||

Looking at the ID 's you are using you are trying to teleport objects instead of people.. You are mixing up your ID's... Also you are using events to set this up...It won't work in NILE... Teleporting of player / AI needs to be handwritten... Have a look at MichaBens code...you'll see the difference... NUT ACE out... | ||

| Registered Member #1336 Joined: Tue Jul 25 2006Location: Netherlands (Rotterdam) Posts: 267 | Are you planning to release the first map as well, or is it just an experiment not worth for release? There is nothing wrong with that, for me my first 10 maps never made it to release, and out of the rest maybe half of the maps that I worked seriously on (meaning the layout is finished mostly) got released. But don't delete the project files even if it's just an experiment, maybe one day you can revive the project into a real map. That is what I did with a map I made ages ago and almost forgot about. After many many months I revived it, added waypoints and mission objectives, added some nasty miniguns and it was alive again. Although I still think it needs some more work, but that is more a personal problem, I always see things that can be better and things that should be updated (bit like Shadowman, who also does nothing else then updating his already great maps  )  | ||

Do you understand the code that was given? Do you know what is happening? Simply copying and pasting code will teach you nothing... When you jump in to the pool, jump in at the shallow end and slowly wade to the deep part...That's the best way to learn.. This is pretty advanced wac coding... NUT ACE out | ||

Advanced wac scripts can be up to a few hundred lines. Maps made with NILE normally have even more wac scripts then maps made with the med editor. NILE has much less features in the editor, meaning lots of stuff has to be done using wac rather then in the editor. Simply things like setting up spawn count, engagement range and attaching AI to weapons and vehicles have to be done using wac scripts as well. That can cause really large wac files. So don't rush the scripting, understand one part before going to the next, or you will end up with a wac with 700 lines of code you don't understand, and then you have a sysdump you can't fix. | ||
