Why I need lua for setting up portal?

[gred_force]

Hello!
I have a question. Many information, so its to hard to find what i need.

All db's for ArcEmu has gameobject_teleports, gameobject_names and gameobject_spawns. Seems to be 2-3 tables are needed for configuring portal, there are x,y,z coordinates, map number, where to spawn info in this tables.

Why I need lua script for this? And what is lower, portal or npc teleporter?

Thank you!

You don't,
Its just to make it more stable.
Well and idk what lower is but a npc teleporter will be a npc that let you port to anywhere.
and a portal is a portal lol

You can make as many gameobjects as you want, and if you put type 22 and spellfocus as a teleporter_locations table id then it will use that, but the problem is you can not make a custom teleporter_location id in the table, it simple wont work. You have to edit one that is already in there. So people use npc's or portals through Lua or C++ since you can have as many as you want without having to delete other ones.

The Head Developer on the server I play on have figured out, how to make Portals entirely in the DB. No Lua required. :b

But ok he is plain awesome with SQL/Databases so.. :3
