How to create "warp doors" to create wrap around dungeons?

[AlexCL]

Hello,

Is there a way to create an invisible "secret door" that will warp the party to another location on the map so that a "wrap around" dungeon could be created?

I'm just getting started on a Bard's Tale re-creation and haven't found a way to create a dungeon that has "Pac-Man" style go out the left appear on the right style maps.

Also it would be good if the party could see through the doorway (kinda like portal where you can see the room through the portal).

I've done a bunch of searching on the forums and haven't found an answer.

Thanks!!

I think the easiest way to do it would be to use a teleporter with the parameter set to invisible.

Of course that would only work in one direction. If you want the player to be able to traverse both directions then you would probably need to use scripting and make use of the setPosition function to teleport the party.

Greetings,

Indeed a teleporter set to invisible, and at the goal a second teleporter invisble and switched off, and a hidden pressure plate which
switches it on (toggle) when the party steps out, so that you can get back again.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions. The closest thing I've seen to what I'm looking for is:

He is able to create portals on the walls that allow you to jump to new locations...I'm looking to do the same thing only without the spells and with a full wall portal rather than a hole. I tried to setup the portal mod on my dungeon but don't have enough experience and kept getting crashes trying to setup EXSP.

these suggestions will work for you to get a "wraparound" effect. However, getting the visual correctness of looking thru the hallway is a very difficult proposition. You would have to end each area early to leave room to make a fake hallway that is identical to the other side where the player arrives. Matching the objects perfectly is actually do-able (but tedious), it is the lighting where you run into a problem. The lightsources changing abrubtly, even to identical lightsources, flashes momentarilly. But just enough that you aren't fooling anybody. Hinders the immersion experience.

There is a more advanced method I never tried that involves capturing a screenshot and turning it into a wall texture . . .Bugs bunny style. I wouldn't suggest this as a serious alternative, but perhaps a good way to mess around and become familiar with all of the tools, then likely find out it is not believeable at all.
