Making a boat function as a door? :P : V

» Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:40 am

Does anyone know of a way I can make an object (A rowboat "ShipRowBoatAnim010000") function as a door/teleport to load the player into another area? For example, the player would walk up to the boat, and see "Use the Old Rowboat" + press to activate. It would function just like a door, they would activate it, and load into a new area (with another boat placed there, functioning the same way.)

Thankyou!

You could use teleport system what caves uses ingame. When you go deep enough it teleports you into cave. It doesent let you activate the boat, but I barely know anything about scripting so this how I would do it. So it would basically teleport you when you go to the boat.

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
Debug.MessageBox("Go to [and your location name]")
endEvent

That should be the basic script for activating the objective and get debug message. And loads of crap after that and you're done

Irsrsguy is right. However, is a boat activable? I'm thinking it's not so you would have to place an invisible activator inside the static boat. Below is a script that should be attached either to an activable boat or to this invisible activator in case the boat is static.

As always, I don't know if it works for sure.

Create a new object (Door or Activator, depending on which method you go for) and make it point to the boat model, then place that in the world.

Door would be easiest I think, as you wouldn't have to script anything, you just click on the boat and it takes you there. For multiple destinations you'd use an activator.
