Hi everyone, im trying to make a teleportsystem.
My idea is to make a object called “portal”. That have a object variable called “ID”
I want to teleport the player from the Teleport Nr1 to Teleport Nr2
I tried to program something like:
Change x-pos of Player set to portal.ID2
Change y-pos of Player set to portal.ID2
I dont know how to name a own object with his own ID
does anyone know a solution?
i think i have to write something like
Change x-pos of Player set to portal.ID(2)
Change x-pos of Player set to portal.(ID2)
or whatever
Thanks for help
Assuming you have a scene variable targetPortalId, which you’ll need to store in the portal you just stepped into
Create an event with the condition portal.Variable(ID) = Variable(targetPortalId)
And then in the actions, set the player co-ords to portal.X() and Portal.Y() (or wherever on the portal you decide to place the character).
You’ll also need to keep track of whether the portal the character is on is one they’ve moved onto, or been teleported to.
You cannot directly reference a specific instance of an object in the scene. This takes a bit of getting used to.
You determine which one(s) you want by setting the condition of the event, and any reference to that object in that event’s actions (or subevents) will affect the objects that matched the conditions. This takes a bit to get your head around it, but once you understand how it works, you’ll be able to use events effectively.
For example, say you have a scene with two portals, one with ID = 1, the other ID = 2. In the event snippet below, the condition is treated as an IF statement, and it’s saying to apply the actions to the portals that have an ID = 1. i.e. If the variable ID of portal is 1, then hide it. If you have multiple portals with ID = 1, then they would get hidden too. But any portals with ID not equal to 1 are ignored.
So, only the portals with ID = 1 would be hidden because the condition narrows down the selection:
