[SOLVED] Fall into teleporter => floor_trigger not activated

[Zo Kath Ra]

Let there be a test dungeon with a floor_trigger at:
elevation = 1

Let there also be a teleporter at:
elevation = 0

The teleporter's destination are the floor_trigger's coordinates.

When the party walks into the teleporter from elevation 0, the floor_trigger is activated.
But when the party falls into the teleporter from elevation 1, the floor_trigger isn't activated.

This might be related to the old Grimrock 1 "bug" of not teleporting when falling into a teleporter, at least it sounds kind of similar. I suppose you could always script it to forcibly work if necessary.

What about if the party falls in to the Teleporter from Elevation 2? I bet the trigger activates!

(i have not tested this yet)

Nice idea
But that doesn't work, either

Invisible platform under the the Trigger, which gets removed as the last step after the trigger fires. That'll teach the greedy Teleporter a lesson

hi

The trigger works fine, It is the teleporter what does not work.
The teleporter checks only horizontal axes/faces not vertical.

you have to script the teleportation yourself i think.
I think about a solution. That makes me curious

[st1nger]

so thats my example for an solution.
not perfect, but it works.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "party",
	baseObject = "party",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Timer",
			name = "falltimer",
			timerInterval = 0,
			triggerOnStart = true,
			onActivate = function(self)
				if party.party:isFalling() == true then
					local ent
					local tp
					local tppos
					for ent in party.map:entitiesAt(party.x, party.y) do
						local checktp = ent:getComponent("teleporter")
						if checktp ~= nil then
							tppos = ent:getWorldPositionY()
							tp = checktp
						end
					end
					if tp ~= nil and tp:getTriggeredByParty() == true then
						local x = tppos + 2
						if party:getWorldPositionY() < x then
							local l,x,y,z = tp:getTeleportTarget(l,x,y,z)
							local x1, y1, f, l1 = party:getPosition()
							party:setPosition(x, y, f, z, l)
							spawn("teleportation_effect", l, x, y, f, z)
							party.gravity:setFallingSpeed(0)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		}
	}
}

Thank you, that works very well

Done. Had to change the topic title a little, because [SOLVED] didn't fit into it anymore.
