Help with walk the Abyss script

[CL0wN]

Hi Javokis
I am hoping that you will write me a script for the S.I.X. mod. I can make models and maps, but I stink with scripts. I need a script that functions like walk the abyss, but rather than teleporting to the haven, will teleport to a hub style map. I also would like the gate to close after it is used. The idea is to have a discipline that will open a gate. When the player walks through the gate it takes him to a dimension with multiple gates to different areas. Anyway, I lack the knowledge to make the script. I can make the map and the model for the gate and I know how to add in the discipline. I assume the map and the gate would need to have specific names or tags to match the new discipline. Could you make this?Please (I?m not above begging).

[Javokis]

This sounds fairly simple. Just tell me what the name of the new portal template will be and I'll make an altered walk the abyss discipline script that you can do with as you please. All  you have to do is setup the chronicle to go to the new hub haven... unless of course you intend on making this discipline seperate from the standard walk the abyss discipline. In that case, tell me the name of the intended location on the chronicle (nsc file) or simply send me the chronicle so I can see what location the discipline needs to go.

Thanks Javokis. I would like it to be a stand alone discipline, separate from walk the abyss; That way players can use both. I also want to use the script with objects and scrolls. The template name could be DimensionGate_01, The NSC is SIX_LON_MD.nsc, and the location in the nsc would be SIX_Dimension_01.nil. The following is the nsc:

You'll need to add the SIX_Dimension_01.nil as a location on the chronicle with a specific location name. I can make a discipline look for a location name on a chronicle, but not one that loads an external map directly. Thus the discipline will only function on supporting SIX chronicles.

[CL0wN]

How about Dimension01 for the location name.

[Javokis]

To be more specific, I would recommend SIX_DimensionHub as a location name since it's purposely unique to your mod. That way conflicts will be more difficult to occur down the line from running chronicles that have generic 'dimension' locations that aren't actually intended for SIX mod's world.

I hope to have time to work on it this weekend.

[CL0wN]

That makes sense. I really appreciate your help with this.

[Javokis]

NP. I attached the scripts you wanted below. Two scripts are included with their .java sources in case you want to see what I did.

SIXDisciplineDimensionPortal - This script should be assigned to a discipline in the game.ndd file. The discipline should be setup to cast on self. It will spawn the six_dimensionportal template, which again, should follow deliberate naming conventions for your mod.

SIXDimensionPortal - This script should be applied to the six_dimensionportal template. You can test the template by simply spawning it. The first player that clicks on it gets sent to the SIX_DimensionHub location on the chronicle. Be sure it is named accurately on your nsc file. If the location doesn't exist on the chronicle then the portal will simply disappear upon creation with a console message telling you the location doesn't exist on chronicle.

I haven't tested the script, but *knock on wood* I think it should work.

[CL0wN]

Thank you. It worked perfectly the first time I  tested it. You are the man Javokis.
