Click HereIf your familiar with variables here is a portal system we use so all you need is one placeable which you can change its looks with ease.
////////////////////////////////////////////////
// BOG Fully Flexible Teleport system 1.0
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Author: Baron of Gateford
// Date: 06-12-2004
// This is based on a script by Amurayi
// The original Amurayi script allowed for a lot of flexibility but meant you needed multiple versions of it.
//
// You now only need this ONE script to handle teleports.
// All paramters are set via local variables set on the object that is going to teleport the PC.
//
// Via local variables you can choose whether to;
// teleport player out of conversation, trigger or placeable
// teleport player with or without companions (if teleporting within same area)
// teleport player alone or the whole party (players)
// Make the player say a one liner when being teleported.
// Send a message to the Player to let them know what happened.
// Choose from 5 visual effects to play when the player is teleported.
//
// Installation Instructions
// -------------------------
// Cut and paste this script in to your script editor and save the script to something sensible.
// e.g. Teleport_script, or BOG_teleport, or whatever takes your fancy.
//
// Place this script on the one of the following script slots (depending on who/what teleports the PC)
// Onused - for placeables that when used teleport the PC
// OnEnter - for triggers that teleport the PC when the PC enters them.
// Action Taken(of conversation) - when the PC is teleported via a conversation node (called from either NPC or Placeable).
//
// Now set the variables on the object performing the teleport (NPC/Trigger/placeable)
//
// Variable instructions.
// ----------------------
// The following lists the variables that need to be set-up in order for this teleport system to work.
// They need to be set on either the placeable,trigger, or NPC that will teleport the PC.
//
// To set variables on an object;
// Open up the toolset, right mouse click the object.
// select 'variables' from the pop up menu.
//
// TeleType (int)
// 0 = objects (onused)
// 1 = trigger (onenter)
// 2 = coversation
// This variable is MANDATORY, and lets the script know what kind of object is being used.
// e.g. if this teleport script is placed on the actions taken slot of a conversation, then set this variable to 2.
// if this teleport script is placed on the OnEnter slot of a trigger, then set this variable to 1.
// It will default to onused if it is not set.
//
// TeleDest (string)
// Tag of waypoint to be teleported to.
// This is MANDATORY. The value of this string must be the TAG of the waypoint to be teleported to.
//
// TeleParty (int)
// 0 = self
// 1 = whole party
// Set this variable to 1 to teleport the PC and the entire party.
// It will default to just the PC if it is not set.
//
// TeleHench (int)
// 0 = self
// 1 = pc and henchman/asociates
// Set this variable to 1 if you are teleporting within the same area and want all henchmen/associates to be teleported too.
// It will default to just the PC if it is not set.
//
// TeleSay (string)
// Speech pc says when leaving (to let other players know what is happening)
// Enter the text in this string variable to the text you want the PC to say when he gets teleported.
// e.g. "I'm going to the Wizards lab", or "I am going down this hole" etc.
// The PC will not say anything if not set.
//
// TeleMessage (string)
// Message sent to pc to describe what happened
// Enter the text in this string variable to the message you want to send to the PC to describe what happened
// e.g. "You arrive at the wizards lab", or "You climb down the hole" etc.
//
// TeleVisual (int)
// 0 = No visual effect
// 1 = Summon monster 1 - Large white explosion that turns to smoke.
// 2 = Summon monster 2 - Purple glyph with white lines moving around purple spots.
// 3 = Summon monster 3 - Blue glyph with orange light on floor and white rising light.
// 4 = Implosion - Yellow/black "black hole" type look.
// 5 = Summon undead - Small white cloud.
// Set this variable to the values listed above for the corresponding visual effect to be used when the PC is teleported.
// If the variable is set to a value greater than 5 then the VFX used is Summon Monster 1.
// The VFX will only be used on actual player characters (not henchmen/familiars etc.)
