this question has to do with teleporting from onemap to the other (by an icon). lets say i have 2 maps, the 1st being a forest map, the second being a town map. how would i go about putting an icon that would teleport you from the forest map to the town map?

Z coordinates basically represent a number for each map. Map 1, map 2, etc... If you go to Z level 7, you're going to map #7...

As a side note, to prevent meaningless headaches...
The compiler dumps all the maps ontop of eachother at compiletime into one big map, and changes the z levels accordingly(last map to be compiled = z1, second last map = z2, first map to be compiled = lastz) A lot of people use an object to keep track of the different maps, so you will have an easier time teleporting to different locations. That way, instead of having to change variables every time you add a map, you can simply teleport to z_forestlevel. Let me give you an example var/list/ztrackers = list() world/New() ..() ztrackers = new() for(var/obj/ztrack/T) // for every ztrack obj ztrackers += T // add T to obj/ztrack Move() ..() return 0 // dont let it move mob/verb/teleport(T as obj ín ztrackers) if(isnull(T.z)) return 0 if(T.z > world.maxz) return 0 if(T.z < world.maxz) return 0 // these are just incase the value is out of the actual world src << "Vroom! Your now at Z level [T.z]" src.z = T.z Keep in mind this is completely untested, and I haven't touched BYOND for a while so im a bit rusty. It should give you a general idea though. | |
