# target_name = (Optional) Target text. If omitted, will use map name
# sw_id = (Optional) Switch ID to turn ON after teleport
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To remove a teleport target, from event call

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To show the teleport target windows, from event call $skew_tele.show

# If no teleport targets have been added, $skew_tele.show does nothing
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To enable teleportation, call the $skew_tele.enable

Author's Notes:
Made a beginner scripter error when I forgot to put the code to include set targets in save files Won't happen again. Also, I decided to redo this post to make it more professional looking.

Very very nice script, I like it, I like it a lot =], I may use it in my game (with ur creds and permission of course)

[storymasterq]

Oh, definitely! Free to use for any project, free or otherwise. A credit in the project is all I need. Any form of credit.

Even Republic Credits will do fine!

Sorry for bumping such an old topic but I have a problem.

When trying to use $skew_escape.disable ingame, I get an error message saying "NoMethodError occurred while running script. undefined method 'disable' for nil:NilClass"

How do I fix this?

So, how DO I fix this?

There seems to be a small problem with this script, once you've found a spot, its there forever, thus if you start a new game you have access to all spots. This HOWEVER doesn't happen if you shut the game down completely and open it up again to play a new game.

Just pointing this out.

[Guest_From_Ariel_*]

So basically this lets you escape from a dungeon using escape.....

Also I can teleport from city to city that you've been to previously?


if lockhearts right this script would be perfect so long as it can be modified
like upon entering a city for the first time can you make an event call to add that city to the list?

if so how?

[Dann Woolf]

Y'know, I still have a problem...

[storymasterq]

Oh, geez, sorry guys, I haven't looked at it yet. Um, I promised I'll get right into it as soon as I have time. Work's been piling up lately and with another (yes, that's another one) team member resigning, stuff will fall on me more than it used to.

If anyone would like to cut in and investigate the problems, I'll be glad to share credit for the script. But for the moment, I'm booked.

Bumped.

ERROR!
"
Scrip 'Skew's Teleport System' line 318: EOFError occurred.
End of file reached.
"
Line 318:
$skew_tele = Marshal.load(file)

What's the problem?

[Dann Woolf]

Me and Mech-Ah need help, y'know.

I think it's time to Beat Up Mary Poppins again.

If he got time,he'll answer, if you continue bumping this thread, I'm gonna close this topic & you will be warned. Right now you're just being selfish.

First of all: storymasterq may not have much time, but neither do I. I'd like to get the help I need ASAP, whether it's from storymasterq or someone else.

Until I GET that help I'll be making sure this stays on the front page.

Second: I'm selfish because I need help? What the fuck, man?

[demosthenes2k8]

Maybe "selfish" is a bad way to put it.
How about...you're being a complete idiot on .org AND R3, and you're bumping things excessively.

[/oftopic]

Is this in XP, too?

[Dann Woolf]

I thought I was allowed to bump it every couple of days.

And if I didn't bump it it would fall off the front page, severely hurting my chances of actually getting the help I've been waiting for.

I will keep bumping until this problem has been solved, either by storymasterq himself or someone else.
