Im creating a spell that teleports the player to where he is looking. To do this i currently summon an invisible NPC. Here is what my magic effect looks like [img]http://localhostr.com/files/iCDGZWt/Magic%20Effect.png[/img]

My question is, when the spell is cast, and the invisible NPC is created... how do i teleport to it? How do i reference the summon in my script so i can use CasterRef.MoveTo(SummonRef) ?

At the moment my teleport script looks like this:

I would also like to know this, I was experimenting with a similar feature for a custom spell and couldn't think of how to do this.

You may want to look into using a projectile to place a marker, then move the player to the marker. You will have the same effect without going through walls. I was working on something kind of similar moving a chest about with a projectile spell, it worked quite well.

Updated the main post with my current question / status

You see that one box labeled projectile? Make a projectile and add it there. In the projectile, you can choose to place markers where the projectile hits as well.

You can use spells to cast projectiles. When the projectile meets a surface, you can let that projectile place a marker where it hits. You can then add a script to that marker, or to the spell itself, to move the player to the location of the marker.

I was doing the same thing with moving a chest about, because of what I was attempting my scripting was a lot more convoluted, but I'll try summing it up as best as I can recall.

The problem using projectiles is you have to call the event through the spell script, to a function in a script attached to the marker the projectile creates, you can't reference the marker through the magic script. So you make a function in a script on the marker like

Function MovePlayerToMe()    PlayerRef.MoveTo(Self)Endfunction

Then in the script for the spell, reference the function attached to the marker (I forget how to do that atm ~_~;, it's late)

The spell would cast, call an event, and move you to where the projectile landed.

I'm having a similar problem. I want to have it so that when a player casts the spell, a door is summoned/moved to the target location as well as it's door marker. So far I haven't put together a script because I can't figure out how to get the location data from the target.

This is a thorny problem. Although it's not possible to just get what's under the crosshairs, it is possible to spawn an object at the target location and then do stuff with it. Check my comment here for info:

This is faster than using a projectile and is the same method used by the Throw Voice shout.
