warping in DCME

[tiss61]

like my description said, how do i make certain warp and spawn spots on where you will warp. Example: i got in this box, and when i go inside this box a few seconds later i end up in another box i created, and it works vise versa. how to i make one of those? i heard u need some kind of bot or something, but how do i get those?

This has nothing to do with the map editor actually.

Check general development forum, the 'one stop shop' thread will link you to MervBot, and various sites to get a plug-in that will allow you to configure warp points.

ok now that i have downloaded mervbot version 38, how do i use it?

[JDS]

you need to know how to program...

 

i sugest reading www.shanky.com/server and understanding all of that before you even consider trying to make a bot

First, read the 'readme.txt', 'operators.txt' , and 'spawns.txt' that came with your mervbot... Try to get the bot to log in your zone first.

 

Once you did that, just make it load this plugin, and configure it properly.

 

Moving this to General development

awww sounds complicated, but i guess i'll do my best... this is gonna take months, even years

um, you can also just make the region a warp region if you are using ASSS. Then no coding is required. In CLT it's just a matter of pressing the "auto warp" check box while a region is selected and selecting where you want to warp the player; I can't imagine it being too much more difficult in DCME.

mervbot.com

 

Also, you can look in the One stop shop topic in this forum, it has links

If you're making it for Hyperspace, ignore MERVBot

 

You'll need to do it with eLVL data like Bak described, I don't know how to do it in DCME but I'm sure Sama can fill you in

To create an ASSS autowarp region in DCME:

1. Select the 'Region' tool

3. Define the region by simply selecting areas. To remove an area from the region, use the Control key. You can use magic-wand-like selections to define your region as well. You can have as many regions as you want.

4. Click the pencil in the regions list to edit the region's properties. Select 'Autowarp' and enter the coordinates where you'd like to be warped to when entering the region.

This is just so I can find this thread later when we eventually build a complete DCME tutorial/user guide:
