Interior Teleporting Help

[NathanHenry]

okay so I have managed to do some of the Interior Teleporting to different spots but the thing is that I can't get the Yellow Arrows to appear, it still lets you teleport to the designed spot but there is no Yellow arrow there so is there a way to get the Yellow Arrow to appear?

post your ipl enex definitions, i will tell you what you did wrong. it is hardly possible to speak about without seing the portal definition itself.

did you set bit 2 for type for one of them? did you gave both (all for multiple telerpot) enex entries the same name? does the interior number of apperance of every enex fits to this one you expecting to see the portal in?

post the lines.

854.71, -868.99, 21.04, 0, 1, 2, 8, 856.84, -871.16, 20.93, 225, 0, 8, JOEYGARAGE, 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

856.04, -869.69, 21.13, 0, 2, 2, 8, 854.10, -862.73, 21.05, 45, 0, 8, JOEYGARAGE, 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

 

The IPL line does work for teleporting to the interior just no Yellow Arrow appears and I do want the Yellow arrow to appear there for the entrances to the interior.

 

For the record don't let the line fool you I am using the GTASA LC mod.

Sorry to double post but I just found out something really weird.

 

 

Ok so as you can see in the picture above that is Joeys Garage door which is where I put the Interior Teleporting code and as you can tell there is no Yellow Arrow there indicating that it is an Interior Teleporter code like how it is in SA. But look in this Picture:

 

 

Now that picture above is from the same Liberty City but that is in Steve M's Map Viewer so the weird thing is the Yellow Arrows exsist but aren't showing up in the game.

 

So I am kinda confused how are the Yellow Arrows showing up in Steve M's Map Viewer but not showing up in the game?

your lines declared:

854.71, -868.99, 21.04, 0, 1, 2, 8, 856.84, -871.16, 20.93, 225, 0, 8, JOEYGARAGE, 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

856.04, -869.69, 21.13, 0, 2, 2, 8, 854.10, -862.73, 21.05, 45, 0, 8, JOEYGARAGE, 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

 

you set both enex of portal to the same interior right? does it fits here? so it will teleport you just a few meters into the same interior.

both enex are the same type which is unacceptable, it might be a bit complicated to explain in such a short notece: relatively speaking- one of enex has to be always master (bit 2 clear, ex. type=0) and the rest is slave (bit 2 set, ex type=4). you have to keep their name same and use "" around the name and use not as many letters as you used, better do not as there is limit you will probably cross the next time.

Well I changed my coords to this now:

 

854.71, -868.99, 21, 0, 1, 2, 8, 856.84, -871.16, 20.93, 225, 0, 0, "JOEYS", 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

856.04, -869.69, 21.13, 0, 2, 2, 8, 854.10, -862.73, 21.05, 45, 0, 4, "JOEYS", 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

 

And look at the results:

 

 

Now I just got another problem now when I enter the yellow arrow outside it just exits me to the XYZ coords I used to exit the interior.

[PLPynton]

follow this because i do not have possibility to test your coords:

intuitial structure of the functionality of portal looks like

EnterA -> ExitA :marker that teleports there

ExitB <- EnterB :marker that teleports back

it look simple however EnEx entry in IPL has a different structure, more logical if we consider multiple teleporting between interiors.

 

EnterA{X, Y, Z,} 0, 1, 2, 8, ExitB{X, Y, Z,} 0, 0, "JOEYS", 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFFEnterB{X, Y, Z,} 0, 2, 2, 8, ExitA{X, Y, Z,} 45, 0, 4, "JOEYS", 0, 8, Time ON, Time OFF

 

consider every line of same named EnEx entry not as yellow marker but as one side of portal (enterance plus exit).

there is also posibility to create single line one way teleports, they suit for same interior spawn. there was a discussion about it long time ago, look thru first post in IPL file structure topic, there are some links to it.

here is example of 2-way teleport in interior 0 between 2280.0 -1260.0 23.0 and 2290.0 -1260.0 23.0:

 

2280.0, -1260.0, 23.0, 0, 1, 2, 8, 2281.0, -1260.0, 23.0, 225, 0, 0, "JOEYS", 0, 8, 0, 242290.0, -1260.0, 23.0, 0, 2, 2, 8, 2289.0, -1260.0, 23.0,  45, 0, 4, "JOEYS", 0, 8, 0, 24

Well with those examples I finally got the Yellow Arrows to appear!

 

Thank you PLPynton for all of your help you were very very helpful to me with getting the Yellow Arrows ingame.
