Well, I'll dissect all the questions, and try to answer them all

It is possible to do this though I assume, by this code:
level_trigger_2 = [echo "*message*"; endsp; sleep 1000 [map *name*]]
Unless you code the teleport in, you can't use it in RPG mode. But you can do map teleports by using the script you have
As for where you put this, try entering edit mode and hitting F6. That should bring up the in-game config (if not, try F7
).
Now for Andy's questions!
Andy wrote:Well, it seems i have found a solution- Rather using that code, is the proper way to trigger level changing through setting an entities tag number and then setting that tag equal to the map?
So I'm guessing you saying that if the level trigger is set to "x" and making sure it's the same with the map "x"? It really is just simpler to code in as you can place any map you want with any message you want in between the asterisk!
Btw, don't forget to remove those
Andy also wrote:I see that this is what was done in the Train map- now that i look through the level CFG. Though, is this only for FPS, or is the reason it is only for FPS because it loads the maps with the sp prefix?
My answer for that would be that FPS allows teleporting and RPG doesn't. However, if it has something to do what type of game mode your in (single player, co-op edit, banana relay, capture the banana, etc.) then there might be something that works.
Andy also wrote:I am looking for a way to make the user have to interact with an item to teleport, or when the user gets so close to the item, it triggers a GUI menu that asks them if they would wish to go to the other map. Also, would there be a way to trigger this GUI menu with code rather than entities? say the player get so close to the map edge, so the code executes and the player can teleport to the next map.
It's very possible actually. It'd require some if variables and the teleporting code along with some dialog. (dialog being the hardest for me
) But no, it shouldn't be too hard.
Code: Select all
"level_trigger_1" = //enter script for dialog here (maybe use Chaze's tutorial)
//have "yes" or "no" buttons and depending on which you want, have yes teleport and no close the dialog box.
r_say "Would you like to teleport to Middle?"
r_respond "Yes." [echo "*message*"; endsp; sleep 1000 [map *name*]] //I don't know if this'll work for sure...
r_respond "No." cleargui
That's for dialog.
If you want just to set the level_trigger at the edge of the map so that you just teleport, that's easy as well!
Code: Select all
"level_trigger_2" = [echo "*message*"; endsp; sleep 1000 [map *name*]]
//now, to make this work use the following steps.
//1 Make a map model (preferably the first mm)
//2 Make the mm a "null" map model by making it a negative one (click the mmodel and scroll so that there isn't one there)
//3 Make the level trigger a 2 and put the code from up above in the in-game config.
//4 SAVE IT =P
//5 Then try it
Something like that I'd assume
Hope that helps!
