tech-shield like object that teleports the party

Post by Mac Addict »

I remember in DM2 there was a very interesting item called the tech-shield that could teleport the party back to their base when activated over a special tile labeled with a giant ninja-star like shape. Is it possible with the current engine to clone an object to behave like that in RTC? I think this would be neat to have in a custom dungeon/multi-location adventure.

This can be done already - just have an item (your shield) with an attack method that activates a teleporter (the star)...

The tech shield could actually assign your return point, but then you just need to use create an attack method that targets a new relay, and this relay will do something clever to make sure the next teleport activates the right teleporter

You could then have all the star teleporters in a chain pointing to each other, and when you activate the teleport, you are teleported all around the chain, except your nominated one which is off - so you stop!
