Subspaces can also be used in scripting by making them persistent and named references. Although they do not react to enable/disable functions, they can be moved into and out of place using setpos type functions. This can allow you to move a subspace over an area you want to enclose for the purposes of preventing NPC movement or reaction, and then move it back to allow normal NPC movement through that area. | Subspaces can also be used in scripting by making them persistent and named references.

A subspace can be used to make a map marker in the current worldspace act as though it was in a separate one. This is especially useful when making your open city behave properly with respect to horse stabling. To achieve this: | A subspace can be used to make a [[map marker]] in the current [[World space|worldspace]] act as though it was in a separate one.

# Create a new door using any small static mesh (e.g. brick) and check the Hidden and Minimal Use flags. Place the door inside of the subspace, but below the ground, so that no part of it is visible or able to be interacted with in-game. Place another such door similarly below ground, anywhere in the same cell as your horse marker, then link the two doors. | # Create a new [[door]] using any small static mesh (e.g. brick) and check the Hidden and Minimal Use flags.

When you next travel on horse to your map marker inside your open city, you will be transported there dismounted, while your horse will be waiting for you at the stables. You can repeat this process as many times as you like, even using different stables for different markers if you so wish. | When you next travel on horse to your map marker inside your open city, you will be transported there dismounted, while your horse will be waiting for you at the stables.
