To go between areas, the easiest technique is to use a script to call the StartNewModule function. You can attach the script to a door (.utd) or trigger (.utt) template.

 

void main () { 
StartNewModule("152HAR") // .are Tag field goes here
}

what does it mean by tag field the name of the place like 001ebo or something along those lines.

You dont, you have to copy and paste Tk's script, onto a notepad, and save it as what ever you want, but make it have an .nss extention (Example: Say you named it StartNewModule, you would have to put a .nss extention on it so it would look like this StartNewModule.nss), then close the notepad and locate the script, and compile it, and stick it in your Override.

 

Hope this helps!

Yes... it's the module name essentially, like 001ebo.

Name the script something unique, for example: dartrai_newmod1.nss. Compile it. Now you have dartrai_newmod1.ncs. Now put "dartrai_newmod1" in the .utt's OnEnter script field. (For doors you can use OnClick or OnOpen fields.)
