Teleport command

Recommended Posts

As a developer, I sometimes have to get to a prescribed place immediately after the game starts.

Currently I do it by adding a hack into the code and recompiling, but having a console command would be nicer and more useful.

 

The idea is to have a command which teleports player to prescribed coordinates, e.g.:

teleport 11280 -5664 -6108

Perhaps someone have heard of any such command?

 

If there is no such command currently, then do you think adding such command is a good idea?

Are there any alternative versions of input which would be useful to mappers?

 

P.S. I can also add a command which will show current coordinates in console.

It can probably make it easier to beta-test maps (unless author moves rooms), because testers can send player coords when reporting an issue.

The coordinates display would help a lot when reporting bugs while betatesting. Would prefer a toggle as we already have for FPS.

To show your current position while playing:

 

g_showviewpos 1

con_noPrint 0

Have you tried "origin 11280 -5664 -6108"? I vaguely remember having problems teleporting some entities in a map and this could be solved by setting the origin to the desired coordinates. Not sure, if this can be applied here, though.

Ok, I looked into the code:

 

Command origin does not exist.

Command teleport surely works only with location name.

 

There are commands getviewpos and setviewpos, which do exactly what I want.

getviewpos (having a alias where) prints your coordinates and yaw.

setviewpos accepts coordinates and optionally yaw angle and puts you to that location.

 

This is enough for now, I think.

Maybe I'll change this a bit for testing system, if I ever get to it.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
