Connecting Cave dungeons to outside world?

[ICpuff]

Hi, could someone explain to me how i connect my cave "green" dungeon to the outside world?

I know they use autoload doors, i've read that much, but i can't find any videos or good explanation to how i find these or use these?

I've setup a RockCaveEntrance but don't know how to use it as a "door" to my dungeon, ty in advance. :smile:


Edit: i grew a brain and searched auto in the ALL, someone please have a laugh at my expense so i'm not the only one. :)

To use a door you need 2 (autoload or manual), one for the entrance and one in the cave cell and one in the other cell / worldspace (depending where you would like to emerge)

 

First make sure you have markers showing by pressing "M" hen either double left click or right click and press "edit" (both open the same menu) on one of the two doors to open the "REFERENCE" menu and look for the tab marked "TELEPORT" (it should be the first one)

 

tick the box marked "Teleport" and leave the menu open as you do the next part.

 

Find the second door, the one you wish the first to be linked to.

 

Now back on that menu you should have open select "Select Reference in Render Window" and your cursor should turn into a target. Move it over the door so it turns "white" and double click to select.

 

Press "OK" on the menu.

 

Now if you have markers turned on a yellow box should have appeared either next to the door or sometimes half in half out. That is where your character (or any NPC) will emerge, facing whatever way the arrow head is pointing. Position it where you think is best (exactly the same way you position any object)

 

Double clicking on that yellow marker will ask you if you want to go to the door it is linked to. Press ok / yes and you will find yourself at the other door. Again position the marker as you see fit.

 

There you go, a fully working door.

 

Of course to get followers and other NPCs to use it you have to make sure everything is navmeshed properly so that they can reach the door and use the marker.

thank you, was very helpful :)
How about spider webs and such? i've tried finding vids on it, but can't find any. When i have placed the spider webs, they don't seem to appear, i have no idea why, i even tried rotating them to see if i had just turned them the wrong way but that wasn't the problem, also the "destroyable web doors" are all completely black, is that something with the lighting to do?
If anyone knows, i would appreciate some help/clarification on the subject.
Thank you in advance. :)

I think they come under FX, so make sure you turn FX preview on, see if anything comes up. Also they might behave weirdly with lighting, so depending on whether you've set your ambient lights or others in the area. I *think* the black comes up transparent in game, so try going in game to have a look too.
