Teleport Randomly between object???

Trying to teleport to another instance of my vent system with a collision but it keeps sending me back to the same one.

okay awesome, how would I go about locking out my current vent so I don't get randomly sent back to it after colliding with it?

ooooh okay so for each vent I should specifically make a variable being open or closed so I don't go back to it immediately?

I don't know how your game works but in general you can toggle a variable on the vent so it is different from the others and won't be picked when you a picking a random instance.

okay thank you so much I'll play around with the variables and see how that works.

Hey I am sorry, I can't figure this out for the life of me. Do you happen to have a method to prevent teleporting to the same vent you collide with? Maybe something with UIDs perhaps?

Well technically you can use vent UID is not the one collided with, but that's not the problem, if you can't get it to work with a variable then it's the event structure so please share a screenshot.

yessir! I am currently using a setup where he teleports to a outside "hub" vent for a moment then it sends him back to another random vent. it looks nice but I think the quick random selection of a vent will be a lot easier if I can figure it out.

So the idea is when you collide with ventreturn you want to pick a random vent but not the one you collided with to get to ventreturn? There's a lot of inbetween events here.

Basically I wanted it to be simple like in one vent and out another but not the original one (which was the main issue). I switched it to this "fix" for now but can put it back so you can see the original idea. Sorry just got off work so I'll throw it together now.

here you go, also I would like to set a timer so after I leave the vents they will be closed for a bit so he doesn't keep walking back into them. At the moment I attached 2 variables so when the killer is not alerted and the vents are open he can collide with them and they cannot be entered again. I am not quite sure how to connect a 10 second timer to reset the variable. Also thank you so much for the input on the timer for my chase alert, it worked perfectly.

Ya so as mentioned above you must add a variable condition with the 'pick random instance' condition that excludes the vent so you can say ventopen=1.

You can add a timer behaviour to the vent, when you collide start the timer for 10 seconds. Then another event 'on timer finished' set it back to 1.

Dude you are my hero for real! Finally figured it out thanks to you. I completely forgot that Instance variables affect only individual objects unless set up otherwise with pick all. Thanks again, f I have more annoying questions I'll ring ya! :D /
