A Land Far Away

I would like to see a script to put on the doors, that requires a <tag>_1a or 1b on the door tag/resref..

i.e area001 door -- UM001_1a
area002 door -- UM001_1b

now the script will send the PC from 1a to 1b or vis a versa, so all he script is actually doing is looking for the other door that has the same tag with the extention _1a or _1b..

Does this make sence? and is it workable?

Yes, its workable. However, the ACR doesn't use tags to store data for door settings - we just have far too many of them. We use local variables.

But my question is, why? Unless I'm missunderstanding, thats no different from defining an AT destination?

Well, it would make it easier as you'd only need to update the tag on each door, rather than the tag *and* AT destination. This avoids typos as well. Seems like more work than it's worth to me though. Shrugs.

Yeah I think Fionn's right. It's just a shortcut (one less thing to do).

I think there may be a problem with hardcoding this though. Can all doors be setup to transition the same way (ie one door to another)? Will there ever be a need to transition to a waypoint for example? In NWN, waypoints were used to set the direction a character was facing when coming through the transition.
