Setting trigger to warp to a specific marker

[myke13021]

hay folks...it's me the noob....

i think this is some very basic stuff but i don't get it to work...

I want to put a trigger, when someone hit it, he will setpos immediately to somewhere else...target will be a marker.

I already tried it with trigger itself and also with script

trigger i set anyone present repeatedly, on activation: this setpos getmarkerpos "markername"

tried this also with a script, using the same syntax but none of this worked...m8 be a problem that i dunno how to access the info's the trigger reveals from the activating unit.

i'm sorry if i waste your time with such a basic crap...but...when i can't get help from here...where else?

Try putting a Game Logic right under the marker and call it GL1,
Then write;

Code: [Select]

This SetPos GetPos GL1
Edit: In the On Activation field of the trigger, of course.


Beware the GrimMonkey

neg...no workee...did i said i work with 1.46.....and yes, i know resi is better  ;D

[Artak]

Place a marker and name it as markername
Place a trigger with the following

Type: anyone, repeatedly
In the on activation field of the trigger:
"_x setpos getmarkerpos {markername}" foreach units thislist


would that work?

I was writing a reply when I noticed Artak had just beaten me to it.

Note that at the moment, if you're moving anything at all, you're moving the trigger.

still not working...i'm getting a error, saying:
"_x setpos getmarkerpos {markername}" foreach units thislist#"Error type array, expected Object,Group

when i read the line correctly, this needs an additional trigger, named "thislist"...how do i use this...putted one inside and named it "thislist" but still no workee.

I hope i do not annoying you and i'm very happy you try to help me, even whn it's such a noobish crap  

thx to all who replied till now...you're really cool guys

"_x setpos getmarkerpos {markername}" foreach units thislist

Just remove the 'units' in the line above and everything will be fine. 'thislist' is NOT a group so units cannot be put in front of it.

Corrected line:
"_x setpos getmarkerpos {markername}" foreach thislist

Cheers

[myke13021]

hmmm....thx for the hint alimag...

but still no workee....now getting another error:

'_x setpos getmarkerpos ¦#¦{target2}': Error Invalid number in Expression

i tried to replace the {} with [] and () but didn't helped.

but thx for your time....didn't thought this could be that complicated.

And just to remember...i'm usin 1.46  ;D

[Artak]

Umm.. Try this time without the 'units', like
"_x setpos getmarkerpos {markername}" foreach thislist

[myke13021]

umm...this is the same line as alimag said...tried this...read post above to see what i got

[dmakatra]

Try

"_x setpos getmarkerpos {"target2"}" foreach thislist

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[Artak]

Oh, right  ;D
Well, all I can say is that it should work.

'_x setpos getmarkerpos {target2}'

You didn't type it like that in the trigger did you? That's just what the error message makes the line look like, right? Because it's ment to be exactly like we wrote it, with the quotation marks.

[myke13021]

unknown operator....thats what i get when i insert your line in it, Armstrong

but thx for tryin

[Planck]

I note that the line you were trying has ' instead of "

'_x setpos getmarkerpos ¦#¦{target2}'



Planck

[myke13021]

ehm...this line

'_x setpos getmarkerpos ¦#¦{target2}': Error Invalid number in Expression

is what the error message said on top of the screen....the ¦#¦ isn't part of the line i inserted into the triggers onActivation field...i always used copy paste on every possible solution posted in here to make sure there'll be no typo from my part ;-)

actually it looks like this:

"_x setpos getmarkerpos {target2}" foreach thislist

but not working
