Teleprt between servers

by Corey Punches · in Torque Game Engine · 05/21/2004 (9:02 am) · 4 replies

I know it's possible to "teleport" to any area of an active mission. Is there any way to teleport to another mission/server?
Here's the scenario, I have multiple servers running, each responsible for a specific mission. My goal is to allow players in mission area to teleport to other active missions which will leave their current mission available for other players (I hope that made sense:)), so is there any existing functionality in the engine to accomplishh this or would I need to add this?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything.

I don't have the URL's off the top of my head, but there's functionality for "server portal" triggers, as well as for changing missions. You can do a search on those snippets and you'll find plenty of info. HTH.

It's really just setting up a new connection with the other server using a triggered script, then setting the transform of the playerobject to whatever XYZ you want.

The tutorials Ted mentions to this in detail though so you might want to search the resource section.
