Fledgling Fyora poincarecon Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 How can I force my party to remain in a certain town until a special encounter happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Stop them from doing whatever is necessary to exit until this special encounter happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall demonslay3r Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 There are tons of ways you can achieve this. Make walls where the exits are, make invisible walls where the exits are, make some needlessly complex script to prevent them from going where the exits are... The possibilities are endless.

Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Stop them from doing whatever is necessary to leave the town. All reduced, there are only 2 ways to leave a town. You can either walk out of it, or use the character editor. Preventing them from walking out is a simple matter. Walls or block_entry() will work. Put something in the START_STATE of the outdoor section that the party would end up in if they left the town through the editor to check to see if the event has occurred in the town. If it hasn't, politely tell them not to use the editor and force them to go back in the town. You can't put them into the town yourself; they have to move their party into the space. But I'm sure, as the designer, you can encourage to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Well. If they cheat, they cheat. You also left out leaving the town through a stairway script. It should be obvious how to stop one of those from being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Don't include a call like that in your town script, please. I'd also like to hear what event you have planned for in this town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
