Travel Totems

Totems are platforms that allow teleporting to any other unlocked Totem. They can be added to worlds through random locations or by players building them. Once a Totem is created it can only be destroyed though cheats! Place your Totems wisely. Totems can NOT connect to regular portals (vanilla or modded versions).

Totems spawned from locations will use one of three prefabs: `VV_TravelTotem, VV_TravelTotemMistlands, VV_TravelTotemAshlands`. This document will refer to these as public Totems in some places.

Totems that can be built by players will use one of three prefabs: `VV_TravelTotemPiece, VV_TravelTotemPieceMistlands, VV_TravelTotemPieceAshlands`. These each have configurable build costs.

Totem Teleporting Basics

Once unlocked Totems can be used by walking into them such as walking into a vanilla portal. This will bring up a map that will display all unlocked Totem teleport points. Click on the desired icon to perform the teleport.

• When the `AllowSelectDefaultSpawn` configuration is true the spawn stones can be selected as a valid teleport location.
• When the `AllowSelectBed` configuration is true the Player's bed can be selected as a valid teleport location.
• When the `AllowSelectTraders` configuration is true the Trader icons can be selected as a valid teleport locations. (Compatible with Multiplayer Tweaks trader pins)

Totem Map Pins

Totems when unlocked will appear as a new red map pin type. Discoverable Totems not yet unlocked will appear as a new white map pin type (when enabled). The pins will display on the map with the name assigned to them.

The `ShowMapPins` client configuration can show all Totem map pins at all times, not just when using a Totem.

The `ShowDiscoverableMapPins` server configuration can show all spawned Totem map pins that are not yet unlocked for the player.

Totem Types

New Totems will automatically have the type of `ServerDefault. The default is set by changing the TotemAccessDefault` configuration.

Change individual Totem types by hovering over them and using the `Hold E (for half a second) action to cycle the type. Perform this action until it displays the one you desire. Players can change any Totem they place, and admins will have access to change any Totem when the AdminBypass` configuration is true.

| Type
_______________| Description
_____________| |--- |--- | | ServerDefault | Use the value set in the server configuration file. | | AlwaysUnlock | Always allow ALL players to access this Totem once it is found by anyone. | | FindUnlock | Players must each find and touch the Totem and pay any configured cost to unlock it. | | AlwaysLock | No players will be able to use the Totem unless they own it or have previously unlocked it. |

Totem Claiming

When the `AllowTotemClaiming configuration when set to true will allow unclaimed public Totems of type FindUnlock` to be claimed by the first Player that unlocks it. All subsequent visiting players will NOT have to pay a cost to unlock the Totem. Totems claimed by players can have their type and name changed by that Player.

When admins are using the bypass feature they will not be able to claim Totems in this manner until the bypass is turned off.

Note: Totems built by players are automatically claimed by the player regardless of the above setting.
