Hey guys, I noticed while looking at all the magical effects and scripts there is some teleport abilities. However, these scripts and abilites are oriented to npc's only rather then the player. Does anyone have some ideas they can throw me on how i could make an instant teleport spell? For example.. You cast the spell and it moves you in the direction ~ 150 feet or so? Ive seen that some other people have made "ConjureSelf" spells and stuff like that, but i dont really know how to do that. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated

Bump, anyone?

Use http://www.creationkit.com/MoveTo_-_ObjectReference with RandomNoob's trig.

PlayerREF.MoveTo(PlayerREF), 2048 * Math.Sin(PlayerREF).GetAngleZ()), 2048 * Math.Cos(PlayerREF.GetAngleZ())) ; Move player 96' in front of their current position

Thank you very much, this little piece of code will work nicely

Only problem with this is that it will teleport you through walls (which may be the desired behavior), into inaccessible regions, off cliffs, and under the map (which probably isn't).

If you want a "Teleport to the spot under the cursor" spell, examine the Throw Voice spell to learn how to use Target Location delivery with an invisible Explosion to spawn an invisible Activator. Give that Activator a script that moves the player to it in the onLoad event, then deletes the Activator.

You can limit it to Navmesh locations (the way Summon/Conjure spells work) by using checking "Snap to NavMesh" in the Spell Effect, or you can leave it unchecked to allow the player to teleport himself to any location he can target.

Thats a good idea

I examined the throw voice spell and to my surprise, there is no script attached to it... I was able to copy the magical effect and all that, but im not sure what my Papyrus script should look like. Any hints you can give me?

Yes, it took me a while to figure it out. It's yet another example of the Rube Goldberg-eque nature of the CK.

To spawn an activator at the Target Location without making it a Conjure/Summon spell, you have to do the following:

• Create the Activator or other object you want to place at the target location.
  
• Create an empty Explosion by duplicating one of the explosions that uses FXEmptyObject.nif or FXEmptyExplosionArt.nif, then delete all effects, sounds, etc from it (unless you want effects and sounds, obviously). Set force and damage to 0 and radius to 1. Under Placed Object, select the Activator you created in step 1.
  
• Create the Magic Effect you want to use to spawn your object. Set all the special effects, etc. Under Explosion, pick the empty Explosion you created in step 2. Set the Effect Archetype to Spawn Scripted Ref (not sure this is needed, actually, but it's what Throw Voice uses). Set Delivery to Target Location. You can leave ALL checkboxes unchecked, or check Snap To Navmesh to make sure the activator is summoned at ground level.
  
• Create the Spell. When adding the Magic Effect you created in step 3, MAKE SURE TO SET THE MAGNITUDE TO 1. If you don't the spell will fail silently. Set the range, etc.
  
• Save and test!

This may seem roundabout (and it is) but it's VERY fast and 100% reliable.

Perfect! Thank you so much for the help Works like a charm now!

Glad I could help! I'd love to see a video of the finished effect

Could you post the script for this? I'm interested in seeing it, I might use a feature similar to this in a future mod, but for now I want to study it for learning purposes.

Sure thing .. Im currently on vacation so i wont be able to make a video until i get back home tommorow


Sure, i will post the mod in the mods section of the forum tomorrow after i get home from vacation . I will include some images of how i have it setup in the CK as well as the script i use.

EDIT: Btw, your Rfiten Fight club mod looks awesome, going to try it out tomorrow

Thanks! If everything goes well today I might have the update released tomorrow with voice acting.
