Ring of Teleportation v1.3

Changes since v1.2:
  * Removed control from PC when beeing teleported
  * Altered Greater Ring of Teleportation in Test Module, reduce slots to 9 (since 10 is above max)
  * Added Mass teleportation
    * Teleports every PC within a circle around the user
  * Updated ring conversation
    * Made the PC speak to him/herself instead of invisble object, cause something makes conversations with objects
      very slow in some bigger modules
    * Added colors to the numbers, for easier reading
    * Added numbers for free slots to the display
    * Added hours since last recharge to the display
    * Added Mass teleport choices


Changes since v1.0:
  * Cleaned up and added some comments in the code
  * Moved the teleportation to its own function
  * Gave the tr_CreateRing function some more parameters
  * Changed to useing GetTag instead of GetResRef in the place conversation
  * Added a testmod



This package contains a ring of teleportation.
It functionallities are:
  * Teleport to party leader
  * Teleport user and/or others to slot bound to place
  * Have x charges (set in variable on item)
  * Have x slots (set in variable) (0-9)
  * Use x hours to recharge one charge (set in variable)


Creating the ring:
==================
Method 1:
=========
You can use the blueprint to make the item, remember to set the variables on the
ring. The ones that you must set are:

charge_left - charges left to use
charge_max  - maximum charges it will recharge to
charge_time - numbers of hours it takes to recharge one charge
slots       - numbers of aviable slots (should be 9 or less)

If the variables aren't set, you will get a "divide by null" error when you try using the ring.


Method 2:
=========
You can use a fuction in a script:
  tr_CreateRing( oTarget, iMaxCharges, iChargesLeft, iChargeTime, iSlots )

where:
  oTarget - object to create the ring on (like a merchant or player)
  iMaxCharges - Charges the ring can have
  iChargesLeft - Number of charges current on the ring
  iChargeTime - number of hours for one charge to be recharged
  iSlots - numbers of slots on the ring


Method 3:
=========
Include is also a conversation for a ring seller. Which will tune the ring to the
buyers needs.



Binding a slot to a place:
==========================
Binding the ring to a place is done by setting two variables on the ring.
slot_x - string - Name of place, used in ring conversation
slot_loc_x - location - location to teleport to (will teleport to location y-1.5, y-5.0 for mass teleport)
where x is slot number.

These variables are set by the conversation tr_place_conv, and in the package
is a blueprint of a Teleportation Stone, a place to bind to, which uses this
conversation to bind a ring the PC thouching the stone is wearing.

You can use anything to be a bindingpoint, as long as it has the conversation
tr_place_conv and the variable place_name set to the text you want to appeare
in the slot.


In the package:
===============
teleport_ring.erf - Ring and Place
ring_seller.erf - Ring seller conversation
RingTest.mod - A testmod for the ring

When you import the files you will get a warning about a missing file: tr_functions.nss.
Ignore this warning, since the file isn't used (include files don't have .nss versions)

Description

A ring with charges that recharge over time, and slots for binding teleport places. Also got a teleport to leader function and mass teleport. Number of charges, recharge time, number of slots, location to teleport to are set as variables on the ring. So the ring will be persistant in a servervault character. Also in the archive is a teleport stone blueprint to function as a teleport place and a conversation for a ring seller.

I'm using this on my server as my "Bind Stone" alternative. The players get a ring when they first log in and can decide which locations to save as they come across them and which to get rid of. Its exactly what I wanted for my world and is working great.

If you mean the name on the ring itself, then you put that on the ring when you create it.

The tr_CreateRing(...) function use the tr_tele_ring blueprint to make a ring, so it will use the name that is given in that blueprint. If you want to change the name with a script, just use the SetName() (I think it is) on the object that the function returns.

Including the ring in a module should not be to difficult, but there are allways things that can go wrong.
1) Import the scripts
2) Use the Teleportation Stone blueprint, or make your own teleportation place with haveing the tr_place_conv and
the variable needed for the name of the place.
3) Use one of the three methods described in the readme to create a ring.
4) Bind the ring to a place
5) Use the ring

I know this is a bit general, so if you need more details to make it work, send me an e-mail.

Nevermind...I'm an idiot.

I forgot that I'd replaced the module OnActivate with a custom script. All's fine now.

This doesn't seem to be working.

Can you give me a step by step instruction on how to install this in another module?

I've imported the erfs and placed the stones and the rings. I've changed the varibles on the stones.

When I use the stone to bind the location to the ring everything seems fine, but when I go to use the ring, the conversation doesn't start.

Okay, should have answered here long ago....

1) No need of any OnActivate. It uses the "new" system where you have a script file with the same name as the tag of the item who takes care of activation. (hmm, may have forgott to mention that in the readme.txt file... added it for v1.4)

2) The place name on the ring comes from the slot_x variable on the ring (where x is a number between 0 and 9). These strings should be set by the place conversation. But you can also set them in your own scripts.

3) Have added the readme.txt file for viewing here, so that the changes/updates are possible to read without downloading the file first.

4) I've done a small update on the ring after v1.3 where you have a variable to deside if the Ring can do Mass Teleportation. Any other suggestions for improvement ?

Can you tell us what has been changed/updated?

Posted by Anonymous ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2004-03-18 04:19:00

Has anybody figured out how to make actual place names appear in the ring slots?

Mine say "Unused Slot" even when they are used. (The ring still works.. just not giving a location name in the convo)

Posted by Anonymous ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2004-03-07 07:20:00

ok this sounds like a nice item but how do i get it to work dont I have to put soume script in the OnActivate or something and if so which one Please help =)

This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 2 that made this score of 9.50 then rounded to 10.
