getting events to trigger while in airship

[habs11]

im tryin to get a teleport event to trigger while the character is in the airship, but what happens is that the airship just flies over it without triggering it. any ideas would be great, thanks.

Well, perhaps you should try ensureing the event is on the proper layer? Like Above, Below etc...Is it a parallell process? Action key? Is it being called properly? More info is needed

its a teleport event, with a touched by hero start condition. the event is that i want to be able to have the airship teleport to a floating castle, but the airship flies over everything, i have tried puting the event layer as above, doesnt work, that only works for the ship.

Intresting issue, I myself havn't experiemented with airships much yet due to them coming into the storyline in most games late. And I havn't really created a full length game yet (Data loss data loss data loss... *Sighs*)

Anyways my suggestion is to check and see if the event is properly created. It should be set on "Touched by hero", it may be different on airships though.

If all else fails move the terrain arround a bit, make an event where maybe the airship crashes and goes down on a plataue (sp?) where the floating castle hovers above, then make another event where you have to climb up the castle to get in or something. Idk I'm just throwing that option out there. This might actually be a better idea because it's somewhat original, unexpected and adds a small ammount of length to your game. As well as more oportunity to get to know your characters reaction to certain situations, you should always look for places to put things in like that, it'll give your player a better touch with the characters of the game to give a stronger connection.

thanks for the advice, but the whole point of building an airship in my game is to reach the castle, you spent some time gathering materials to build it, so its kinda like a big deal that you get to use the airship.

That would make sense, I was just throwing that option out there if you can't figure anything else out.

[habs11]

nevermind, i found out if you put it as collision with hero it works. sorry for wasting your time.

[Dele]

Lol no problem, now I know in case I have to make a simular event. =P

[Ben]

Dont be sorry.
Thats what the help forum is for man.

If you wanted to (and if you were familar w/ variables) you could make a parallel process and 4 variables each for the airships X and Y coordinates, and for the teleport event's X and Y coordinates.  Then make a conditional branch that checks to see if the airship's X and Y coordinates equal the teleport event's X and Y coordinates.  If they equal, teleport the airship to the desired place.  Hope this can be useful in some way.
