Papyrus: Howto detect doors with teleporter

[zaira]

I need a way to detect doors that have teleporters - a way out of the current building. The reftype HouseMainDoorRefType is not set everywhere.

 

The use case:

I want to send a NPC from one house to another house.

The problem:

He often does not find the path and stays.

 

For towns and cities I found a workaround - I capture the parent location and locate a RefType marker (MapMarker, CenterMarker) - then I let the NPC walk to this marker until he leaves the current cell and from outside he always find the path.

 

But if I could detect the house door I could lead him to the door and let him activate the door - this would work everywhere.

Could you do something like run a cloak spell to detect nearby load doors, then pathToReference the closest one? Assuming the house has only one door.

 

Or maybe detect the closest door teleport marker instead - they're usually put close enough to the door that any reasonable AI should be able to find it once there.

 

I dunno, I've never tried something like that. Just a guess.

This does not help : most houses have doors inside. I didn't find any criteria to differentiate between doors with and without teleporter.

 

The teleport marker seems to be invisible for modders - I found no way to query it from papyrus - I enumerated all objects from a cell and there was never such thing like a teleport marker.

Found the solution with SKSE:

bool HasTeleport(StaticFunctionTag *base, TESObjectREFR *theDoor)
{
    return theDoor->extraData.HasType(kExtraData_Teleport);
}
