As far as I can tell, those functions just send you to '0' if you try to use a variable float value. Supposedly the expansions made them work, but they really don't seem to.

---

Doesnt the Spriggan script place the 'sprigganup' effect using float variables?

Position/PositionCell can take float variables, but they must be LOCAL variables! (info by Indigo Rage)

All scripts compile, all scripts run without error, but sadly all scripts bring you to the Ashlands at 0,0 instead of Seyda Neen:

Code:

---

begin Testscript_global_1



float x

float y

float z



set x to -16384

set y to -81920

set z to 200



Messagebox "%.0f / %.0f / %.0f " x,y,z

player->positioncell x,y,z,0,"Balmora"

stopscript Testscript_global_1



end

---

Code:

---

begin Testscript_global_2



set Global_x to -16384

set Global_y to -81920

set Global_z to 200



Messagebox "%.0f / %.0f / %.0f " G_x,G_y,G_z

player->positioncell Global_x,Global_y,Global_z,0,"Balmora"

stopscript Testscript_global_2



end

---

Code:

---

begin Testscript_local_1



float x

float y

float z

float zr



if ( Onactivate == 1 )

  set x to -16384

  set y to -81920

  set z to 200

  Messagebox "%.0f / %.0f / %.0f " x,y,z

  player->positioncell x,y,z,0,"Balmora"

Endif



end

---

Code:

---

begin Testscript_local_2



if ( Onactivate == 1 )

  set Global_x to -16384

  set Global_y to -81920

  set Global_z to 200

  Messagebox "%.0f / %.0f / %.0f " G_x,G_y,G_z

  player->positioncell Global_x,Global_y,Global_z,0,"Balmora"

Endif



end

They don't work with variables. Use Setpos instead.

---

The problem with Setpos is that I can't set the player's angle (setangle doesn't turn the player. Position/PositionCell is the only way I've been able to face the player a certain way). Unless someone has a way to get setangle working on the player...

I take it noone has any ideas for setting the player's angle then

---

Ive got a script that works perfectly to effectively allow me to setangle on any npc, by setting a globol variable then useing npc->startscript myscript
It works by useing the face command (which also wont take varables) and huge if statements defineing points in a huge circle 10 times the size of morrowind.
Code:

---

	if ( zangle > 90 )

		if ( zangle > 177.5 )				; average 180

			face 0 -10000000

			set tempfloat to 180		

		elseif ( zangle > 172.5 )			; average 175

			face 871557 -9961947

			set tempfloat to 175

		elseif ( zangle > 167.5 )			; avarage 170

			face 1736482 -9848078

			set tempfloat to 170

		elseif ( zangle > 162.5 )			; average 165

			face 2588190 -9659258

			set tempfloat to 165

		elseif ( zangle > 157.5 )			; average 160

			face 3420201 -9396926

			set tempfloat to 160

		elseif ( zangle > 152.5 )			; average 155

			face 4226183 -9063078

			set tempfloat to 155

		elseif ( zangle > 147.5 )			; average 150

			face 5000000 -8660254

			set tempfloat to 150

		elseif ( zangle > 142.5 )			; average 145

etc

If ( Getinterior == 1 )
coe 0,0
endif
Player->setpos x new_x
Player->setpos y new_y
Player->setpos z new_z
fixme
Player->setpos x new_x
Player->setpos y new_y
Player->setpos z new_z

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone actually gotten this code (or something like it) to work in game? I always found that it'd put me at the right location but would not load the cell (even with the "fixme" and double SetPos). My understanding of the "Fixme" command was that it only moved you 128 units (for when you were trapped inside an object and cannot move out of it).

The only way I was able to get the concept to work was write a bunch-o-scripts that used COE* to every 3rd cell and then SetPos. This way it'd move you to within 1 cell of your destination and then fine tune you to the actual position. As a result, you'd be guaranteed that the cell would be loaded when you get there.

* COE does load the cells adjacent to the one you call with it.

No way to determine the name of an interior cell. We've tried it for two years now. No way. this is why the multi-mark mod has to be so large...

---

Actually, Morrowind Enhanced could probably do it. I asked them if they could do String variables a while back but couldn't remember any examples of what you'd need them for when they asked.

That is kind of funny. I can think of 20 reasons why we would want to use string variables. Multimark is only one of them. But I guess string variables isn't any use without the ability to access other portions of the data, the save file, or do LIKE commands or functions that use the string variables. Without adding a bunch of other things to the scripting language, string variables aren't that useful.


Look at the multimark code. That will show a working example of how to use variables to move a player or NCP. I believe like others have said, you must use local variables. You can store the location in a global but then must load those values into local variables in your script before using them.
