Action [TFS 1.X] Town Portals like in Diablo

[oen432]

Town Portals
More Diablo style additions. This time Town Portals. Scrolls that can be used to create a portal that will teleport us back to our town. If we use special portal in a town, we can get back to where we created our portal (which then will be removed). Can be customized to allow only portal creator to use it or anyone. Also when portal should be removed, when creator goes back or anyone goes back. Duration can be set too, after passed time, teleport will be removed.​

I didn't think about that Good point. I'll block using scroll if player is close to the city.

Or u can make a default portal in city that checks if u have a portal active, and if you do ,it teleports you to your scroll location.

Hi @oen432 is there any chance to dont allow to enter players who attacked other players (with white skull/ yellow skull), and players that has fighting condition? (those who are being attacked or are attacking a monster)...

Thanks in advance!

Well, you can just add Protection Zone on the Waypoint tiles in map editor. For those who attacked/been attacked by a monster that would require editing the script itself.

Found a bug (or more like missed feature?)

If you put the scroll on the ground it becomes infinite. I just added a failsafe with player:getItemcount()

Change player:removeItem(item:getId(), 1) to item:remove(1).
