Ports

[Township EQ]

So I've been trying to make custom teleport spells for awhile now and I'm a bit confused about something.



This is Circle of Commons.

Casting it teleports me to 1427.0, 478.0, -51.9, heading=162.5

I've tried making custom ones many times before (not this one exactly) but I always run into the problem that my locations get wonky. So what does each value even do?

What is 325 at the bottom? is 478 the Y loc? I've looked at another one and the value for teleport is 1 and then the Y loc where it teleports you is a whole different number. There seems to be some kind of voodoo ritual to making teleport spells that I don't understand, someone please help.

                                x = spell.base[1];
				y = spell.base[0];
				z = spell.base[2];
				heading = spell.base[3];

Copied right from the source in spell_effects.cpp

so...

Y
X
Z
H -- seems to be half of what the H value is ... so if its 500 guessing the heading it ports you at would be 250? .. not 100% sure


In perl scripts I always DOUBLE the heading to get them to face the way I want them to... so if I want them to face 125 .. i put 250 ..ect ect.. not sure why it works that way.. but it seems to work

That makes a bit more sense. The whole doubling the heading might fix another unrelated issue I'm having. It seems like some zonelines I can't edit, and for a fix to that I've made invisible npcs that zone you when you enter their proximity.

    quest::movepc(4,-2425,1270,-1.2,142.1);

For some reason no matter what I change the "142.1" to it doesn't have any effect. I've also tried putting the heading in brackets like it says on the wiki, but nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this?

Brackets mean the field is optional and not necessary, I don't see anything that you're doing wrong, it's weird.

quest::movepc(zone id,x,y,z,[heading]) - Moves the user that triggered the Event to the provided zone and location.
