Ok, so I've been mucking around with teleporters and managed to teleport from a teleporter I made, to various different entry UID's. When I tried to set up a marker to teleport to, I came across some issues. Both the scripts below are in lookoutpoint.tng and are right next to each other.
DestinationNewThing Object;

But when I change the destination UID in the teleporter script to 18446741874686298109, which is a marker I found in LookoutPoint, it works perfectly.
See screenshots contained in the below spoilers for the two markers that I tested on.
I'm absolutely stumped, I bet it's something really simple that I am overlooking.
I'm not sure if you guys know this, but you can edit the .tng's whilst in game, just leave the area and come back and your changes will be loaded. However, if you change the UID of something, the old one will still be loaded into memory and both will be on top of each other.
Thanks,
Scradam

No, it worked fine when I selected a random marker already in lookout point. If you look at the second screenshot, the one contained in the spoiler called 'Not working', the selected red arrow in the bottom left corner of the map (it's meant to teleport me into lookoutpoint_filler_07). When I tell it to go there, it doesn't work... but when I tell it to go to the marker in the first screenshot, it works fine.
Hope this clarifies it. Sorry for the dodgy explanation, I'm really really tired.
Thanks,
Scradam

Your help and time is greatly appreciated, but did you read the first post?
"Both the scripts below are in lookoutpoint.tng and are right next to each other."
So; yes, they are in the same region.

Ok, so I managed to get my teleporters working. I didn't solve the problem I initially posted, but I just left it and moved on and every teleporter I made after that point seemed to work fine.
So, now I've come across an issue.
I'm trying to use a boat as a teleporter and place it on the end of the pier in PrisonPath.
The teleporter works fine, but I can't get it close enough or the right size for the hero to activate it. Perhaps the OBJECT_HKC_PIER_END_01, that is situated at the end of the pier, is in the way, and the hero can't activate the boat through it. Deleting it results in the hero being able to fall off the end of the pier, though. I would like to avoid that.
Here's some screenshots:
Any suggestions as to how I might be able to achieve this?
Thanks,
Scradam

Collision? I thought that height might be the issue.
I managed to get it to work, though. Took me from about an hour from when I posted, until when I posted this, mucking around with scale, height and position, to get it just right. I have to stand right on the edge of the pier to access it.
That was a lot of effort for one object!

Glad you have something put together. That's quite the parallel parking feat.| Scradam wrote on Mon, 07 September 2009 10:12 |

Same thing for the most part.
It's just a guess, but the collision of the end of the pier might be blocking the Hero from interacting with the ship.It is possible to lower the height of the collision with CBox and a modeling app. But that's a lot of work.As I mentioned earlier, it would have been far easier to find something to elevate the Hero, big enough that he can use the teleporter but small enough that he can't walk straight off the pier.But you, in some way or another, through scaling and repositioning, brought the ship close enough and high enough that he can use it.As for why I [poorly] illustrated these to point out unnecessary stuff, I really don't know anymore. But maybe it can help someone else if they ever come across the same problem.

They're great. 
Very simplstic and easy to follow.
So basically the 'collision' is the part of the object that is interactable and that you can hit, shoot and can't walk through. If that makes sense.
Thanks very much.

i also have a problem with teleporters. i made a teleporter from startoakvale to oakbay so i can teleport in childhood to oakbay so i can play as a child there. i used this tut: http://fabletlcmod.com/wiki/doku.php?id=scripting:d.i.y._tel eporter but this won't work. when i go to my teleporter (it's one of the four benches around that tree in the middle of startoakvale) but when i walk over to it i can highlight hit and it's blue, but when i press TAB nothing happens. this is the script i use.

EntranceConnectedToUID 18446741874686344994; this is the UID of the marker. i just picked the 1st marker you see when you select an object in oakvale and put in the UID

It doesn't work like that. You didn't read the wiki correct.
You can't use the UID of just some marker to teleport to.

No CDef as DarkenedSoul said. That requires FE and isn't necessary anyway. It's all tng. First you need your teleporter sign:NewThing Object;

Let's walk through this piece by piece.
The UID is a unique identification number for the object, and needs to be unique to the region, no other anything in the region can have the same UID (and as a good practice, nothing should have the same UID in the game). Luckily, you can punch in any random numbers, 20 digits seems to be standard, and that will almost always be unique (100000000000000000000 possibilities).
The DefinitionType is which OBJECT you'll be using as the teleporter. It can be any OBJECT. You said a sign, let's use "OBJECT_BW_SIGNPOST_PLAQUE_01".
CreateTC. It isn't a teleporter without "CTCActionUseScriptedHook".
ScriptData, this is where "Do you want to spar?" goes.
HiddenOnMiniMap, self-explanatory really. I often prefer to have this set to TRUE to keep it from standing out unless it is a door or other typical teleporter.
ForceConfirmation, you'll want TRUE if you're having the Hero be asked whether or not he wants to.
The EntranceConnectedToUID will be the UID of the teleport destination. I prefer to use this script for destinations:NewThing Marker;
Player 4;
UID 00000000000000000000;
DefinitionType "MARKER_BASIC";
ScriptName NULL;
ScriptData "NULL";
ThingGamePersistent FALSE;
ThingLevelPersistent FALSE;
StartCTCPhysicsStandard;
PositionX 0.000000;
PositionY 0.000000;
PositionZ 0.000000;
RHSetForwardX 0.000000;
RHSetForwardY 1.000000;
RHSetForwardZ 0.000000;

RHSetUpY 0.000000;
RHSetUpZ 1.000000;
EndCTCPhysicsStandard;

EndThing;
Here's the catch, both the teleporter and the destination must be in the same tng (maybe it's same region, but I use the same tng because it's easier to do in my head that way). So if you want to teleport to another map, crack open the FinalAlbion.wld.
Find the starting map and the destination map. Let's say you want to go from the demon door in the Guild to the demon door in Necropolis. The wld gives is this information:NewMap 268;
MapX 4864;
MapY 3392;
LevelName "FinalAlbion\DemonDoor_Guild.lev";
LevelScriptName "DemonDoor_Guild";
MapUID 1350731;
IsSea FALSE;
LoadedOnPlayerProximity TRUE;
EndMap; NewMap 383;
MapX 128;
MapY 7168;
LevelName "FinalAlbion\DemonDoor_Necropolis.lev";
LevelScriptName "DemonDoor_Necropolis";
MapUID 2395802;
IsSea FALSE;
LoadedOnPlayerProximity TRUE;
EndMap; Takeoff map
X = 4864
Y = 3392
Destination
X = 128
Y = 7168
Marker coords
X = 128-4864 = -4736
Y = 7168-3392 = 3776
In AE, since that's what you use, place an object in the location you want to teleport to on the map you want to teleport to. Copy the coordinates and add the X and Y coords to the destination marker's coordinates. It works perfectly that way.
Mine would end up like:PositionX -4704.000000;
PositionY 3808.000000;
|
this is not an exit.
