How do you make an npc teleport to you via triggerbox?

[zerther]

So I'm trying to make an npc teleport to me after I hit a triggerbox, so that the npc can appear and talk to another npc I see.\

 

Coming here after checking forums and various google searches.

 

Quest Property MyQuest Auto 
Int RunOnce
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto 
Alias Property MyNPC Auto  
 
Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
 If MyQuest.IsStageDone(10)
  If RunOnce == 0
  MyNPC.moveto(game.getplayer())
  RunOnce = 1
  EndIf
 EndIf
EndIf
EndEvent

if i try to compile this i get an error that moveto is not a valid function or does not exist.

how would i properly do this?

I think after MyNPC and Game.GetPlayer() you shoud call a GetRef() function. You are trying to call a MoveTo function an alias. But aliases don't move. Only References do.

 

MyNpc.GetRef().MoveTo(Game.GetPlayer().GetRef())

I think its the case but I'm not 100% sure.

I would put down a Xmarker (the red X's you see in the CK) and have the NPC port to the Xmarker.

 

A small script I use while editing to be able to jump to the part of my mod I'm working on ...

(sure it can be modified to do what you're looking for)

 

Scriptname _PortToMarker extends ObjectReference

ObjectReference Property PortMarker Auto ; this is set to an Xmarker in the cell.

Event OnInit()

GoToState("XPort")

EndEvent

;-----------------------

State XPort

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

Game.GetPlayer().MoveTo(PortMarker)

EndEvent

EndState

Quick and dirty to test if teleportation works: Assign the trigger box that has the script attached to the TeleSpot property.

If that works, place an Xmarker where you want the NPC to appear and assign it to the TeleSpot property.

 

Edited your posted code:

 

Quest Property MyQuest Auto 
Int RunOnce
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto 
Alias Property MyNPC Auto
ObjectReference Property TeleSpot Auto 
 
Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
 If MyQuest.IsStageDone(10)
  If RunOnce == 0
  MyNPC.GetRefence().MoveTo(TeleSpot)
  RunOnce = 1
  EndIf
 EndIf
EndIf
EndEvent

 

 

FYI - GetRef() may be shorter to write but GetReference() is faster to perform. Why? GetRef() calls GetReference()
