Teleportation magic not working

eldrichgeld · Post by **eldrichgeld** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 8:44 pm

After i completed the quest to get back the fiancee from the Daedric ruin on the island in the north (can't remember the exact names), i noticed that teleportation magic no longer worked, anywhere. After i left the shrine it wouldn't let me use any teleportation magic. Please help!

To solve the problem temporarily, use the EnableTeleporting command in the console.

To solve the problem for everyone, I'd need to be able to pinpoint the reasons why you encountered this problem. Unfortunately there's not really enough information to do that, nor I suspect would it be easy to replicate, otherwise there'd have been more reports...

I believe there is a deadric ruin near port Telvannis where you can't teleport when inside the ruin. It's scripted that you cannot leave the ruin with magic, just like clockwork city and Dagoth ur.

I did the quest. Teleportation should be reenabled with the same script that disables the forcefield blocking the exit from Yashazmus during the rescue action. I wonder what went wrong... I tested it dozen times and it worked

I can also confirm this happening in Yashazmus during that rescue quest.

I tried to Recall home while is in there, perhaps that's what caused it to break the script.
Teleportation didn't work again until I fixed it with the console.

Did the forcewall disappear after killing Ilwen? I guess so as you got outside, so there should be no other problem then missing command in that script. I apologize for inconvinience hopefuly this will be fixed in the next release.

In the script TR_m1_GS_MQ_5_Fence(the one on the gate)
change:
EnableTeleporting
SET Phase TO 3
to:
SET Phase TO 3
EnableTeleporting

That should fix the persisting Disable.

^^ Whoa, I replied as Guest. oops.
Anyways, that should work, in the original script Teleportation Disable was being called in PHASE 2 but also being Enabled before PHASE 3 is set.
Enabling after PHASE 3 is set should fix it.

Uh!!! O_o I see not how fliping order of those commands should make any difference, provided they are in the same if-clause, but morrowind scripting differs from the regular programming in many hideous aspects so I will believe you.

yeah, Morrowind scripting is funny.
But I had a similar problem in one of my mods, and I am pretty sure that's how I fixed it. Unless my memory is malfunctioning.

lol

Unless Pluto has actually implemented and tested this fix, based on the little information given I have to disagree. If they're in the same if-block both commands will process in the same frame regardless of order. In fact, if that "set" command makes the controlling if-statement untrue, moving other commands after it would if anything make them more likely to fail, though they will still operate as normal barring any unusual hiccups in processing. Far more likely is that there is something preventing the entire script or that section of it from running at all.
