i am currently trying to make a mod where u get teleported by a magic light thing. i managed to unpack the nif for the magic effect i and use it in place of a doors. in creation kit it seems to work, it looks like a light and is connected to teleport me from place to place but in game there is nothing to activate. im assuming cuz the magic effect has no collison data.

i was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to make this work, im thinking it can be done with an area effect script where i get close to the magic it teleports me but i dont know anything about the papyrus scripting. if there is an easier way im open to suggestions.

thanks

Maybe you can make it an 'auto door'. If that's checked, then it will automatically teleport anybody that comes close.

If you really want to be able to activate it, why not try looking at a mannequin tutorial? They use trigger boxes that you can activate in order to activate the mannequin. So you would use a trigger box that you activate in order to activate the door.

this auto door thing sounds good, where do i check that, not seeing it in the door options.


Nvm, found it. but when i get close it teleports me to a black area that sounds like im swiming, then i drown. the door is linked to one somewhere else and its teleportation marker is in a good location. not sure where and why its bringing me.

there is a more or less working version in the Sanguine quest line, it sends you from the dungeon to the hidden grove.

alright, working good now. problem was that the linked door was too close to the teleport marker i think.

one more thing to make it perfect, can i make it not say "to skyrim" when i get close. kinda want it to be a suprise when it teleports u

thanks for all the help by the way.

create a message object with your location name, then in your custom door's teleport tab, set the location to point to your message
