Telvanni tower - discussion

Well, my idea for telvanni towers are small pads that "lift" the player(change y value) using a levitation like force. Maybe we could script it so that it starts when the player enters its area then once the reach a second object with another script (small node at the top of each shaft?) a second script would execute that moves the player onto the ground, a sort of "psuedo levitation".

I liked the idea tossed around earlier of teleportation amulets going with each Telvanni tower. Since the NPCs all have RAI, they can move in and out of areas, meaning that they can make use of that teleportation. The only downside I can see is that it would make breaking into a Telvanni tower much more difficult because you would need to steal one of the amulets from someone.

The other possibility that occurs to me is to again make the upper levels of the tower a seperate "interior," but make the way in through a floor area or something that acts in the same way as an Oblivion portal (i.e. - you go up to it and either activate it or step through in order to appear on the other side).

Which I think is very good idea as it will be a challenge to be a thief in a telvanni tower

I thought we had already discussed the use of Sigal Stones and "key" amulets as the way to move around Telvanni towers. I still think that that is the best way to go.

I was feeling a slight sense of deja vu as well, though I wasn't sure where that earlier thread was.

well, custom making all the 3d models of the Telvanni structures is tough... but the concept isn't... a spore grows and then it all turns into a huge town

You know, I dont think it would be to hard to fine a thick vine model somewhere that we could use ?(

they are more complex that that.... and also, the walls are more complex that others.... simplest is Hlaalu, then Redoran then Telvanni..... they are woody and fungus and gnarly and organic looking
that reminds me... I have some Dres concept art... :lol:

Maybe we can coerce Cryonaut or Caligula after all the animals and other architectures are done.
