MoveToSavedLocationn(S:GLOBAL*,S:Area*), Moving between areas Options

[jastey]

Hi,
what I want to do is:

-teleport the PC and one NPC into another area
-play a cutscene and some dialogue
-move PC and NPC back to where they were

Problem: I do not know in which area they were when the teleporting took place.

I guess the actions "SaveObjectLocation" and "MoveToSavedLocationn(S:GLOBAL*,S:Area*)" are the ones to use here?

My code for the teleporting is

CODE

IF
     True()
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
    CutSceneId("ajantis")
    ClearAllActions()
    SaveObjectLocation("GLOBAL","LOCX#AjRomAjantis","ajantis")
    SaveObjectLocation("GLOBAL","LOCX#AjRomPlayer1",Player1)
    FadeToColor([20.0],0)
    Wait(1)
    LeaveAreaLUA("AR1402","",[900.700],0)
    ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA("AR1402","",[1024.1072],9))
    MoveViewPoint([1070.905],INSTANT)
    Wait(1)
    FadeFromColor([20.0],0)
    EndCutSceneMode()
    Dialog(Myself)
END

And for moving back I used

CODE

IF
     True()
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
    CutSceneId("ajantis")
    ClearAllActions()
    FadeToColor([20.0],0)
    Wait(1)
ActionOverride(Player1,MoveToSavedLocationn("LOCX#AjRomPlayer1","GLOBAL")
    MoveToSavedLocationn("LOCX#AjRomAjantis","GLOBAL")
    Wait(1)
    FadeFromColor([20.0],0)
    EndCutSceneMode()
END

but it is not working, PC and NPC remain in the other area and do *not* move back to the starting area.

The variables "LOCX#AjRomPlayer1" and "LOCX#AjRomAjantis" are set (checked with Shadowkeeper).

I'm not sure whether it is a syntax error (WeiDU installer does not complain) or whether I am using the wrong action codes for this purpose.

Thank you for any help.

That did it!! Thank you, dragon lord!

Just in case someone is interested in the correct code, this is the one that worked (EDIT: Yes, it is for Ajantis in the party):

CODE

IF
     True()
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
    CutSceneId("ajantis")
    ClearAllActions()
    StorePartyLocations()
    FadeToColor([20.0],0)
    Wait(1)
    LeaveAreaLUA("AR1402","",[900.700],0)
    ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA("AR1402","",[1024.1072],9))
    MoveViewPoint([1070.905],INSTANT)
    Wait(1)
    FadeFromColor([20.0],0)
    EndCutSceneMode()
    Dialog(Myself)
END

CODE

IF
     True()
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
    CutSceneId("ajantis")
    ClearAllActions()
    FadeToColor([20.0],0)
    Wait(1)
    RestorePartyLocations()
    Wait(1)
    FadeFromColor([20.0],0)
    EndCutSceneMode()
END

IESDP: Either I'm blind, or "StorePartyLocations()" and "RestorePartyLocations()" are not listed in BGII:ToB Action triggers in the IESDP online version.
