Well, for a map i would love to create i need to be able to create a 'teleport pad' e.g an area i can designate that would automatically teleport any teams troops to a certain area... Ive seen it done in warcraft 3 to great effect, however I myself am not sure how to do this! Any help appreciated!

Best to ask Grim.. hes got a teleport ability on his Hero mod

[Ugbluz]

Ahh, that would be really great if he could teach me how to! but i just want it on one spot!

The way i made the teleport isn't compatible with a teleport pad, though you could use the tunnelcontain behavior, that's the closest i can see.

I've writen a tutorial about it, i don't know where Hostile has put it, but there is a thread about it in the main forum, somewhere.

Before you search for it, i'll explain what the tunnelcontain behavior does: every object with this behavior (of your side) will be able to contain units and make them go our at any of them (they will appear in every object radial to exit).

Great! thats fine, the idea i wanted to create was a 'tunnel' anyways so thats fine Im sure it would be possible to make it civilian too so everyone could use it

sure it would be possible to make it civilian too so everyone could use it

I really don't think you can make it available to all players :(

Well first could i be shown how to do it, I tried searching didnt really work!

best way is through scripts in a map do something like

How to through Scripts
***IF***
Unit "Name" is in Area "Teleport Dock1"
***THEN***
Teleport Unit "Name" to Waypoint "Dock1Waypoint"

but this only works for named units.


How to through INI's:
You would have tochoose a special powertemplate for the unit. when the unit activates this it will change their locomotor for the directed way but we must use a move like Fireball it has the right cursor thing

im not going ot go into detail now i gtg do something

[Ugbluz]

Lol, im not a coder just a mapper, surely there is a script i can get my hands on that i can make an object use

[{IP}Gil-Galad]

they must be named units to teleport them beleive me ive been mapping for almost 5 months i know all the scripts Foehammer tried it for his map (risk) and it didnt work.

[Ugbluz]

Hmm, well is there anyway i can make a tunnel? For example put terrain ontop of a building? And still have it allow units through?
