MSFD Scripted teleporting

Teleporting to variable positions in interior, and especially exterior locations is not trivial, there are issues with surrounding cells not loading properly (meaning part of the landscape may not be rendered) or crashes. One solution was suggested by Aftershock_81:

 

 

 

where FixMe is meant to reload the destination cell to avoid the problem where SetPos does not force the cell to load correctly.

 

I only ever managed to get Aftershock's method to work via a local script, when I tried using a global script, everything worked, but I got an “Function greater than index count” error. A good example of using setpos and fixme can be found in Dongle's Ranger Tent mod, available on Planet Elder Scrolls.

 

If you use FixMe, you may also want to use SetPos again, as fixMe will move the player. It depends on how accurately you want to place the player.

Note: This script must be a local script. Attach it to an activator or door: It will not work as a global script!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it is not possible to simply attach the script to an activate-able item, one alternative is to have another script (global or local) place an item in the player's inventory temporarily, with a teleport script attached to the inventory item (thanks to Kaos_nyrb and Nigedo).
