Dream sequence - sleep - help

[kelly1111]

I was wondering how to pull this of. Or if anyone has something similar writen in script.
I want the players to experience some sort of dream (this can be a text box telling them something or a cuttscene) when they choose to sleep (after a certain point ingame)
When they wake up I want them to be teleported to another place. How would I start doing this?

I have absolutely no clue on how to script it.

There are
PartyComponent.onRest(self)
and
PartyComponent.onWakeUp(self)

I think you can trigger with this a counter (if you want your Event at a random choosen moment) or a script that asks for a certain spot the party ist resting or a certain level...

Yes I did something similar in Labyrinth of Lies
From memory - Spoilers - if you were at position A (anywhere) + did these things:

SpoilerShow

ate a Dozing Cap, then quickly cast Preservation, then made the Party Rest

You would wake up in a secret level, Dreamfields.
You were stuck there until you made the Party Rest again, which would wake you back up in the position A
Ive cut and paste the code from the in dungeon script for you (source files are available so you can load it up yourself too)
Sorry but I dont have the time to rewrite in LoG2 format

dreamscapeScript (position level 1, 19x, y1)

-- so canceling sleep doesn't screw everything up

	end
end

also minmay wrote some fixer scripts (found on level 1 also) - timers 31x,16y - but I dont think we need timers now with LoG2 modding
and also teleCheck 31x, 19y - which stops some teleporting loop hole abuse

Hope this helps (and isnt too confusing lol)

Could a dream script be activated when the party is awake and used for cinematics.

Just a thought
