How to create a "TOWN PORTAL"-type item?

[docteurjon]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying, as much as can, to find an answer to my question, but can't seem to find it anywhere, so here I go!

I'm trying to create an item that can teleport my party to a set location, then, by using a specific event on this set location, return them to the EXACT place (same X and Y coordinates, same map) they were before using it. You know, kind of like a Town Portal in the DIABLO series...

Is there any possible way to make that happen?

Any help would be welcome!

Oh, and I'm using RPGmaker VX Ace...

Thanks!

Here's a quick and dirty mini tutorial for doing this. I think the images should explain it clear enough; if not, give a reply and I'll explain them in more detail

I was going to come here to post something similar, but you beat me to it. Pretty much the exact same workflow.

What I did for mine was make it a Key Item, Don't Consume. In the Common Event, I added a Show Choice to ask if the player really wanted to return, in the event that it was mis-selected.

Thanks for the idea though! I learned a bit looking up how to make it all work.

  You could also use XS - Teleport Version 1.0a http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/4711-xs-teleport/?hl=teleport. Then all you have to do after setting up 

the map ID info in the script, is have an item that calls the teleport scene. In this case SceneManager.call(Scene_Teleport)

  I know I would use this. Just head over and check it out. If you do use it, one idea you could use is when your hero gets to a new town they could

either talk with an innkeeper or priest/nun in a church ( or something I have used, inspecting the Maidens Statue in the center of town) and that calls

the function of adding a new portal to the system.

Wow, Galenmereth (and the others)!!

Thanks for the quick help!

I can't try it now, because I'm at work, but I'll do it as soon as I get home tonight.

If there is any problem... I'll let you know!

A big thanks for the tips!
