Warping back to departure point

[Adam]

Hello people,

Once again, need you expert advise on this case:

We created a PvP room which people can access from almost any town using a custom warper.

To get out of this room they simply use a warp

At the moment this warp only warps back to prontera, regardless where people came from at the first place.

QUESTION :

Is there a way to make sure people when they use the warp out are warped back where they first came from ?

Thanks you in advance, all suggestions are welcome !

You could use this for example:

xxxx,xxx,xxx,0 script Out#Portal 45,4,2,{
OnTouch:
mes "[Portal]";
mes "Where would you like to go?";
next;
switch(select("prontera.:morocc.:geffen.:payon.:alberta.:Cancel.")) {
case 1: warp "prontera",107,60; end;
case 2: warp "morocc",157,96; end;
case 3: warp "geffen",120,36; end;
case 4: warp "payon",96,100; end;
case 5: warp "alberta",41,243; end;
case 6: close;
}
}

If you wanna do it your way, you're gonna have to get the warper who sent players into that map to save their last position by using:

*getmapxy("<variable for map name>",<variable for x>,<variable for y>,<type>{,"<search string>"})
This function will locate a character object, NPC object or pet's coordinates
and place their coordinates into the variables specified when calling it. It
will return 0 if the search was successful, and -1 if the parameters given were
not variables or the search was not successful.
Type is the type of object to search for:
 0 - Character object
 1 - NPC object
 2 - Pet object
 3 - Monster object
 4 - Homunculus object
 5 - Mercenary object
 6 - Elemental object

While 3 is meant to look for a monster object, no searching will be done if you
specify type 3, and the function will always return -1.
The search string is optional. If it is not specified, the location of the
invoking character will always be returned for types 0 and 2, the location of
the NPC running this function for type 1.
If a search string is specified, for types 0 and 1, the character or NPC with
the specified name will be located. If type is 3, the search will locate the
current pet of the character who's name is given in the search string, it will
NOT locate a pet by name.

In a variable and then get the NPC to warp back those players using their saved map in the variable.

When players warp to the map, add temporary variables for map location:

getmapxy(@tmap$,@tx,@ty,0);

Then use a scripted warp instead of a warp portal:

<header> 45,2,2,{
   warp @tmap$,@tx,@ty;
   end;
}

@Mysterious: That isn't quite what he wants. xP

You guyz are just awesome, thanks a lot for the golden help

[Emistry]

just some precaution...

make sure you add in a nosave mapflag into the map when using euphy script.

why ?

because the variable / data stored inside the character..will be removed upon player logout..

so, if you didnt have the mapflag ..your charcter will probably stuck inside..and ur map server will spam error also.

this is because the warper warp you based on the saved variable.

Thanks a lot for warning me, really appreciate it Emistry !

Once again thanks all for helping me out.
