savair Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Ok lets say your fighting some villians ok and you found this place because it has high level villians that you want to find so it builds up xp. You die which of course sends you to the hospital which of course sends you across town. Is there a way to place a marker for where you are at on the map so when you wind up in the hospital you can go back to that exact spot again? Like a marker for a place you want to save on the map if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiro Ito Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Sure, open the mini map and right click at a spot, and it'll drop a thumbtack on it. You can also type /loc and it will tell you the coordinates your are currently at, and you can type /thumbtack followed by the coordinates (/thumbtack 000, 000, 000) and it will create the waypoint for you. 1 Play my AE Adventures, listed under @Jiro Ito, including award winners: "The Headless Huntsman of Salamanca" #43870 **Scrapbot AE Contest Winner May 2022** "On the Claw-Tipped Wings of Betrayal" #43524 **November 2021 Dev's Choice** "The Defenders of Talos" #44578 **Mission Architect Competition Winner for October 2021: REBIRTH** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 And, if you have a base hospital, if you zone back via the entry portal (not the zone portal) you should appear back at the same spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, that would be a rare situation, and nothing different if it is only a location being sought, but if the zone is maxed and they leave (which is essentially the base hospital), "returning" might mean entering the alternate zone. Would specific characters/items that they were hoping to interact with (say, an ambush) still appear in the duplicate zone?

biostem Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I never understood why most games don't allow you to doodle and put notes on your own world map, beyond the thumbtack we have now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having trouble remembering right now but I swear I played a game once that let me do it, like multiple notes and points on a map. It's just . . . eluding me right now. and it shouldn't because I haven't played a lot of games in my life (outside of the arcade) overall and only on PC.

You could write anything you wanted on your game map. That game was way ahead of its time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
