Teleportation in the Aleration Tree

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 6:53 pm

My idea for a great mod would be to be able to teleport in a direction from your current location. AKA. if you are at position 0,0 in battle... you can use a spell (Mages Retreat) to instantly move your character back 20 steps or so... same with forward or sideways...

The COW console command does alot of what I want in the game for teleportation of the character. However, it does not appear to be a BATTLE usable command because you cannot specify a fractional value.

So if you teleport to some area you cannot specify a x y coordinate of 1.123 , 2.345. Instead you teleport from 1,2 to another digit which is quite some distance!


Also, if anyone knows, How can you get the current location of the player in XY coordinates from the console? I have mapped the game so far just guestimating what location I want to be in and trial and error moving there.

You can pretty much expect someone will do something along the lines of Supreme Magicka or LAME.

Alteration had Levitation and Mysticism had Blink and Swap.

I guess they would all be Alteration now.

A forward "teleport" already exists in the game: The "Whirlwind Sprint" shout. I haven't thought to test whether sloped ground is a problem for it yet, but I've used it a few times to "sprint" across gaps that were too far to jump over and I haven't fallen in. My impression is that it rushes you forward in whatever direction you're pointed without regard for the ground beneath you. I've also tried it while sneaking and it moved me right through an area that I couldn't normally sneak through without being seen. So, for all practical purposes, it seems like a teleport to me.

"player.getpos x" and "player.getpos y". You'll probably also want "player.getpos z" so that you arrive at the right height...

It would be nice to see Levitation back in the game and also waterwalking. All these icy cold streams and no reputable mage has created a water walking spell...doesn't seem right to me.

Each game the alteration spells just seem to go missing. Seems a shame to me.
