Heyas

I have a spell setup to teleport me to a cell and then back, however once I teleport to the cell using the spell I can not leave!! If I cast the spell again to return, it ports me to the marker that I ported to in the cell when I first cast it. This doesn't make any sense to me at all, I'm sure I have it setup right. Perhaps someone could could a look?

scn XtMoveBegin ScriptEffectStartShort TeleportedIf Player.IsInCombat == 1	Message "You cannot teleport while in combat."	ReturnElseIf Player.IsSwimming	Message "You cannot teleport while swimming."	ReturnElseIf Player.GetInCell ICArena || Player.GetInWorldSpace CamoranParadise || Player.GetInWorldSpace DreamWorld || Player.GetInWorldSpace MS14World		Message "You cannot teleport in this location."	ReturnEndIfIf emcPlaylistExists "XtyfeMusic"  == 0	emcCreatePlaylist "XtyfeMusic" "Data\Music\Xtyfe\*.*"EndifEndBegin ScriptEffectFinishif Teleported == 0	set Teleported to 1 	emcChangePlaylist "0" "XtyfeMusic"	startquest XtMusicSaveQuest	XtSpotMarker.moveto Player 0,0,20	Player.moveto XtHomeMarkerElseIf Teleported == 1	set Teleported to 0	emcRestoreDefaultPlaylist "0"	stopquest XtMusicSaveQuest	Player.moveto XtSpotMarkerEndifEnd

This is your problem:

if Teleported == 0	set Teleported to 1 	emcChangePlaylist "0" "XtyfeMusic"	startquest XtMusicSaveQuest	XtSpotMarker.moveto Player 0,0,20	Player.moveto XtHomeMarkerElseIf Teleported == 1	set Teleported to 0	emcRestoreDefaultPlaylist "0"	stopquest XtMusicSaveQuest	Player.moveto XtSpotMarkerEndif

The script effect script runs once per spell cast, it doesn't remember variables from a previous spell of the same type. That is why 'Teleported' will always be 0, no matter how often you cast the spell. You either need a global or quest variable to check for or a different condition that works. Like getincell maybe (don't know what you're trying to do exactly).

Ya I figured it was something simple like that, I know it works without a global on objects and stuff so I assumed it was this way for spell effect. But you learn something new everyday

Thanks

Probably the easiest solution would be to check to see if you're in the cell you're teleporting to; if not, run the "teleport there" part of the script, otherwise run the "teleport back" part. No need for messy variables that way.

Indeed that would be more efficient. Not being able to solve such a simple problem is exactly why I would never be good at programming, I'm just not creative enough.
