Hello,

I am trying to build a game so that the player moves trough a maze and gets "teleported" back to the begining, after reaching the end.

I have built a "restart ()" function, and tryed
// vec_set(player.x, vector(0,608,100);
// player.x=0; player.pan=90;

and similar things, but it just caused a script crash at the end of the maze.

What can I use to reset players position? Do I just level_load the level again?

I also would like to show a screen saying "press any key to return to the begining" bevore I move the player there. I was thinking about doing sth like:

while (!any_key) {set levelpanel=visible; restart()}

but I am not sure how I say "any key". Can someone tell me the right command line?

Hi,

1 - Normaly you can teleport an entity using vec_set on its position. But that depends on the logic used in your game and without some more code, that's difficult for me to tell you how or why.

2 - It's key_any

Thx for the Quick reply:)!

When I use:

vec_set(player.x, vector(0,608,100);

I get a syntax error. How Do I tell the programme to set that location?

(You forgot a parenthesis)

vec_set(player.x, vector(0,608,100));

Thx. I see I was blind:)! But it still doesn't work for me, when I set the vector, and player gets to the point, where he should be "teleported" the game crashes.

Is there an other way to tell the game "put the player where he was at the beginning"?

Then it might be advantageous to post the whole code so we can have a look at it...

Are you actually even using the pre-definied playerpointer? ^^
Writing to a not-initialized pointer isnt a good idea

Ok here are the relevant parts of the code:


while (ZL<6) // part of the main level function
if ((camera.x > 5200) && (camera.y > 2160) && Zielerreicht == 0)
{
ZL +=1; // Levelzähler geht hoch

speichern();
Zielerreicht = 1;

} // Am Ende des Levels angekommen
if (Zielerreicht == 1)
{

restart();}
}

function restart()
{
vec_set(player.x, vector(0,608,100));
var S1=0, S2=0, S3=0, S4=0, S5=0, S6=0, S7=0, S8=0, SL=0;
var Z1=0, Z2=0, Z3=0, Z4=0, Z5=0, Z6=0, Z7=0, Z8=0, Zielerreicht = 0;
}

And I took the action for the Player "walk" from the tutorial;) :

action wizard_walk()
{
camera_follow(me);




while (1)
{
// state 1: walking ////////////////////////////////////////////

// rotate the entity with the arrow keys
my.pan += (key_cul-key_cur)*5*time_step;

//

// move the entity forward/backward with the arrow keys
var distance = (key_cuu-key_cud)*25*time_step; // auf 5 zurückstellen, wenn programmierung fertig
c_move(me, vector(distance,0,0), NULL, GLIDE);


// adjust entity to the ground height, using a downwards trace
c_trace(my.x,vector(my.x,my.y,my.z-1000),IGNORE_ME | IGNORE_PASSABLE);
my.z = 100; // always place player's feet on the ground
wait (1);

}
}

So yes - I guess I didn't initialise the players position - he just starts there, where I set him on the map...

I would be really greatful for any help, as I am a total beginner...

add before the while loop in wizard_walk a
player = me;

This should do the trick as the player pointer seems never set.
