Record the levelnum of previous map?

[Jaxxoon R]

I'm trying to store the levelnum of the map the player warped from so I can return to it at a later date. I've put this down so far in an acs library:

Code: Select all

int thepreviousmapyouwarpedfrom;

int thepreviousmapxpos;
int thepreviousmapypos;
int thepreviousmapzpos;

Script "RingWarp" (VOID)
{
	Delay(8);
	FadeRange(255,230,200,0.0,255,255,255,1.0,35.0);
	thepreviousmapyouwarpedfrom = GetLevelInfo(LEVELINFO_LEVELNUM);
	Delay(35);
	Teleport_NewMap(100,0,0);
}

Script "ReturntoPreviousMap" (VOID)
{
	Teleport_NewMap(thepreviousmapyouwarpedfrom,0,0);
}

The issue is that the levelnum isn't properly stored, so the player is instead warped to The Earth Base every time.

Try giving the variable world scope:

Code: Select all

world int thepreviousmapyouwarpedfrom;

It needs to be global scope. World scope is per hub and will get lost as well.

Thanks for the help! It's reassuring to know this can be done. Unfortunately, I've never set up this kind of variable before. The compiler is telling me I'm missing an "index in world variable declaration", does this mean I have to create an array for it to work?

Huh, I spent about an hour searching the wiki yesterday and somehow didn't find that. Thanks for the help!

You would have found that page with both 'world variables' or 'global variables'.

I wouldn't be surprised if I was just dumb and didn't notice it then. Should stop modding late at night since it leads to silly mistakes like this.
