Hey all,

I seem to have a problem. I have a script that has me teleport to a certain spot, along with a bsp switch, along with a few other commands. This would appear to run smoothly, but whenever I get to the trigger, the screen rotates as if I had died, and nothing happens.

I'll post the script section here. Please bear with the long section of destroy commands.

Could you show us a video of what happens?

Sure thing. Give me a second to get it...

The trigger volume is right outside the hangar.

That's odd... it must have something to do with the BSP switch. You are teleporting the player inside the BSP you're switching to right? If so, then try moving the "object_teleport" command after the "switch_bsp". It might be because you are teleporting right before the BSP switch, which for some reason causes the glitch during the BSP switch. Just a guess, but I don't see any other reason.

It seems like the player dies for some reason. That explains why the camera turned around like that. Try this: Switch BSP BEFORE you teleport the player. And I'm not sure what happens if you teleport a player while he's inside a vehicle.

Maybe the same thing that happens in Coldsnap?

Anyway, yeah, put the teleport code after the BSP code. A computer can't put you in a place that doesn't exist. like Life, after you die, it won't send you to purgatory, because Purgatory doesn't exist.

Maybe I don't play on Coldsnap, but I'm assuming that you meant that the vehicle teleports with the player. In that case, I learned something new today.

Yeah, there are special vehicle teleporters, they use a code to teleport both the player and the vehicle at the same time.

Actually a teleport command executed while a player is in a vehicle will only teleport the player. It does that with another BSP switch I have.

I'll try putting the teleport command after the switch. Thanks for the help.
