Teleport onDeath not working?

Skorum

Hi All

I'm trying to write a script that when the PC dies he is teleported to a waypoint (deadpool)

I've written the script from Lilac Soul's generator and set it to run from OnPlayerDeath

Whilst the visual element plays, the PC is not teleported and to confuse things further, cannot respawn.

// Put this OnPlayerDeath (module properties).


// Clears all actions and jumps the caller to the provided object.
// (Useful when this needs to be delayed.)
void ClearAndJumpToObject(object oDestination);
void ClearAndJumpToObject(object oDestination)
{
ClearAllActions();
JumpToObject(oDestination);
}


void main()
{
object oParty;
effect eVFX;
object oTarget;

// Get the PC who died.
object oPC = GetLastPlayerDied();

// Find the location to which to teleport.
oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("deadpool");

// Teleport the PC's party.
eVFX = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_UNSUMMON);
// Loop through the PC's party.
oParty = GetFirstFactionMember(oPC, FALSE);
while ( oParty != OBJECT_INVALID )
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eVFX, oParty);
DelayCommand(3.0, AssignCommand(oParty, ClearAndJumpToObject(oTarget)));

// Update the loop.
oParty = GetNextFactionMember(oPC, FALSE);
}
}



What am I doing wrong?

If memory serves, the problem is that dead people don't do actions like jumping (reasonably enough).

If you look at the default OnDeath script in module properties, I think you'll find that the PC is resurrected first. Although that script is a little complicated, it's the best starting point for modification.

This line is missing from your ondeath script...

DelayCommand(2.5, PopUpGUIPanel(oPC, GUI_PANEL_PLAYER_DEATH));

I created a test mod and tried to get the player to port to a specific waypoint and I could not get it to work in the ondeath script.

The only thing I could get to work is doing the port in the OnPlayerRespawn script.

No. Proleric is correct.
I checked my script, and it restores the player back to full health, removes ill-effects, and then jumps them to the spirit plane.
