Difference between revisions of "SubSpace"

:*Subspaces can also be used as a means of making actors ignore behavior that would normally occur, such as detection, combat pathing, or reacting to attacks. An actor placed in normal space will ignore anything that happens within a subspace. An actor that is within a subspace will ignore everything outside that subspace. Actors may however cross subspace boundaries if they are currently in combat and the target lies within the same space.  

Once you place the blue subspace box in the render window you will not be able to move it or rotate it until you "solidify" it. Do this by going to the select view menu and then selecting "Solid Subspaces".  

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.  

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. This is especially useful when making your open city behave properly with respect to horse stabling. To achieve this:  

# Put a map marker inside your city and a horse marker in the stables outside the gates (or inside, or pretty much anywhere, it does not matter).  

# Create a small subspace (e.g. 50x50x100) and put it exactly below the map marker, making sure only a small portion of it sticks above ground, so that the map marker pivot point (i.e. its crosshair) is contained in it.  

# 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. Make sure the door's pivot point is contained within the subspace. Place another such door similarly below ground, anywhere in the same [[Exterior cells|exterior cell]] as your horse marker, then link the two doors.  

# Turn on [[Edit Cell Path Grid|pathgrids]] to make sure that no gridpoint is contained within your mini-subspace. If any is, move either it or the entire map marker-subspace-door-teleport marker assemblage. Otherwise such gridpoints would be unusable for pathing.  

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.
