Teleporter

Description

When the player walks into a teleporter, he is transferred to a different location. The main difference to the object-type exit is the possibility to have teleporters connected to levers/buttons/etc. Sometimes teleporters are activated even against the players will.

Unlike exits, teleporters can also transfer items and monsters to different locations on the same map.

Type defined by:

• object::type = 41

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
activation speed	object::speed	If the <activation speed> is nonzero, the teleporter will automatically be activated in regular time-intervals. Hence, the player can just step on it and gets teleported sooner or later. The duration between two activates depends on the given value. Default in the teleporter arch is <activation speed> 0.1. VERY IMPORTANT: If you want to have your teleporter activated via button/handle/magic_ear/etc., you must set <activation speed> to zero!
artifact	object::artifact	If defined, refers to an artifact to get values from.
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
blocks prayers	blocks_prayer	Similar to damned, but does not appear in detect curse.
changing	FLAG_CHANGING	A <changing> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it's animation is done. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
client-sided randomized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_RANDOM	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated independently.
client-sided synchronized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_SYNC	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated synchronized.
connection	connection value	If a connection value is set, the teleporter will be activated whenever the connection is triggered. To use this properly, <activation speed> must be zero.
destination X	living::hp	The exit destinations define the (x, y)-coordinates where the exit leads to. If both are set to zero and <exit path> is empty, the player will get teleported to another, randomly chosen teleporter on the same map (Slightly confusing for the player though). Make sure there actually is a second one in that case. If both are set to zero and <exit path> is set, the player will be transferred to the "default enter location" of the destined map. The latter can be set in the map-properties as "Enter X/Y". Though, please DO NOT use that. It turned out to be a source for numerous map-bugs.
destination Y	living::sp	The exit destinations define the (x, y)-coordinates where the exit leads to. If both are set to zero and <exit path> is empty, the player will get teleported to another, randomly chosen teleporter on the same map (Slightly confusing for the player though). Make sure there actually is a second one in that case. If both are set to zero and <exit path> is set, the player will be transferred to the "default enter location" of the destined map. The latter can be set in the map-properties as "Enter X/Y". Though, please DO NOT use that. It turned out to be a source for numerous map-bugs.
elevation	elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this square. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
exit path	object::slaying	The exit path specifies the map that the player is transferred to. <exit path> can be an absolute path, beginning with '/' (for example "/peterm/FireTemple/fire1"). It can also be a relative path, not beginning with '/' (On the map "/peterm/FireTemple/Fire2" for example I could use the relative path "Fire1"). Use relative paths whenever possible! Note that upper/lower case must always be set correctly. However, please use lower case only. If the <exit path> is set, ONLY players can get teleported. If the <exit path> is unset (empty), anything can get teleported: Players, monsters and items. In this case, the destined map is automatically the same map the teleporter is on.
glow radius	object::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
identified animation	identified_animation	If defined, then the object will take this animation when identified.
identified animation speed	identified_anim_speed	If defined, then the object will have this animation speed when identified.
identified image	identified_face	If defined, then the object will take this appareance when identified.
identified random animation?	identified_anim_random	If defined, then the object's animation is in a random sequence when identified.
identified_name	identified_name	If defined, then the object will take this name when identified.
identified_name_pl	identified_name_pl	If defined, then the object will take this plural name when identified.
image	object::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	object::invisible	Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
is used up	FLAG_IS_USED_UP	If set, decrement the <food> field at <speed>. When <food> reaches zero, remove the object.
material	object::material	This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
name	object::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
non-pickable	FLAG_NO_PICK	If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
number	object::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
plural name	object::name_pl	This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
price adjustment	price_adjustment	If set, this is the buy and sell price adjustment ratio for the item.
price adjustment for buying	price_adjustment_buy	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when buying the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
price adjustment for selling	price_adjustment_sell	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when selling the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
smooth level	object::smoothlevel	If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
splitting	FLAG_SPLITTING	A <splitting> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it is hit physically. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
title	object::title	This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
unpaid	FLAG_UNPAID	An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless a player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for pickable items inside shops.
value	object::value	Adds a certain value to the object: It will be worth that many times the default value from it's archetype (E.g. "value = 3" means three times worth the default value). Value for buying/selling will be further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is usually inevitable.
weight	object::weight	This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is open source... you never know ;) ).
