Castle Paradox

RedMaverickZero

Okay.... I'm in a tight spot and really need some help. See, I finished my game, but there was one fatal problem, it took too long to move from one point to the other. I was thinking of using like vehicles or what not. But the problem is, I don't know how a vehicle could go from one map to the other. Does anyone know how to implement this? If they do I would be very very very appreciative. Thanks.

You'd have to make a vehicle NPC on the second map and make a plotscript to make a door (since i'm pretty sure inter-map doors can't be accessed ina vehicle; go ahead and test that) to the next map and put the hero in the vehicle NPC on the second map.

Make the map settings to accept vehicles enterring doors.
make the next have a auto-run script, to check if the hero is in the vehicle, and if it is, mount the hero.

....umm.... that's all I remember about vehicles, I haven't actually bothered using vehicles in the OHR before.

Or wait, would it be easier to just make an item in the inventory, and have that item alter the hero's picture to look like he/she was in a vehicle and then change their speed? The only problem I see with this is that they will be able to go inside houses and saving will mess up the speed upon reloading.... But I'll give yals a shot.

The automap thing worked. But there was one problem. See, I used the following script for it.

script,mopedtonextmap,begin
if (checktag(33)==ON) then
(
use NPC (35)
wait (1)
)
end

and when the player enters a new map, they go to where the moped is and board it. However, I want to be able to make the moped go to where the hero is. Anyone got any ideas? Because I am lost...

Can't you just set the NPCs position next to the hero in the script before "use NPC"?

Where V is the vehicles NPC ID number (or a reference)
