If I understand what you're saying, then it's a very interesting concept!

It would be possible to create a teleport menu, but would you use it for edit mode, or in-game?

i i would for in game, because the map is size 15.. so if you walk from south to north it's a very long time walk now.

I'm gonna give you a couple of options:
1. Use city maps instead of whole "world" maps. Meaning, you just teleport to each "city" map from a menu (which would be extremely easy). Alternately you could use "world maps" which are smaller and you could teleport from them to "city maps" or to other "world maps."

2. Use strategically placed teleports in each city or in the world itself that allow quick transportation.

I'd personally use number 1.

you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

level_trigger_1 = [showgui TELEPORT-BOT]
newgui TELEPORT-BOT [
guitext "Where would you like to go?"
guibar
guibutton "place1" [sp MAPNAME] //or code that can activate a in-map teleport/teledest
guibutton "place2" 
guibutton "place3"
]
