In my script I am trying to get a specific player to be teleported when they activate the "Anywhere But Here" gobblegum. I tired using player = getplayers(); but that is giving me a syntax error...

if its from anywhere but here you should have the player activating it calling the script already. just have the player running it as "self"

Thanks man. I saw your "Nightclub" map & I love your Gobblegum system! Would it be possible to do a system like in Bo3 with menus instead of loading another map? (I'll do it either way, I am just curious).

Right now I have a struct with the targetname "abh_tele". Would I use getEnt to get the location's name? (This is my entire script if it helps any: http://paste.md-5.net/qinocenixo.coffee) (Also, sorry for all the questions)

id say do it like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext


anywhere_but_here()
{
	iprintln("anywhere_but_here function activated");
 
	abh_tele = getentarray("abh_tele","targetname");
	teleport_points = [];
	//if no telepoints are active, teleport to own location to avoid errors
	tele_point = self.origin;
	//filter out undiscovered telepoints
	for( i = 0; i < abh_tele.size; i++ )
		{
		if(isdefined(abh_tele[i].is_activated) && abh_tele[i].is_activated)
		teleport_points[teleport_points.size] = abh_tele[i];
		}
 
	if(isdefined(teleport_points) && teleport_points.size > 0)
		tele_point = teleport_points[RandomInt( teleport_points.size )];
	wait(1);
 
	self setOrigin(tele_point.origin);
}

anywhere_but_here_init()
{
	abh_tele = getentarray("abh_tele","targetname");
	for( i = 0; i < abh_tele.size; i++ )
	{
	abh_tele[i].is_activated = false;
	abh_tele[i] thread anywhere_but_here_activate();
	}
}

anywhere_but_here_activate()
{
while(1)
{

players = get_players();
for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	if(distance(players[i].origin, self.origin) < 64)
		{
		self.is_activated = true;
		break;
		}
wait .1;
}
}

and call anywhere_but_here_init(); from the scripts init, or wherever so it starts when the level does. i'm pretty tired right now (just pulled an all nighter) so there may be a script error. anyway, that ent you were using, make sure its a script origin and you can have as many as you want, it will only teleport the player to any "activated" ones (ones a player has been near at some point) because of that, you should have like, one per room and make sure it isnt too close to another zone, or on the edge of one, should be somewhere the player is likely to walk across

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Bad Syntax on: abh_tele = GetEntArray("abh_tele","targetname");
EDIT2: I moved abh_tele = ... above teleport_points = [], and now it is saying bad syntax on teleport_points = [];

This line is missing a semicolon ; That's why you get the error

	iprintln("anywhere_but_here function activated")

No worries. When I do go in game, it says that the function is activated, but nothing happens. (I have a script_origin with the targetname: abh_tele)

looking at the script, theres nothing calling it,
change

I did that so it doesn't randomize the chances to get it & I can directly test a specific one.
