Abort Exit?

So, I am having difficulty placing an Abort Exit.

Rather, I am having difficulty making it obvious what it is and putting Dialogue option so players know not to just interact with it.

I have seen it done in other Foundry content, so know it can be done, but I can't figure it out.

I have tried adding a dialogue box to it, with a warning, but then can't make it work as an Abort / Exit. It just becomes an item with a dialogue box.

Now, I know I must be missing something very obvious, but can't figure it out.

Anyone care to share the secret?

Many thanks.

    Set what part of what to disappear?

    If it disappears how will anyone use it?

    No idea what others do, but what I suggest is placing a fake exit (door basically) slightly infront of the abort exit. In the fake exit detail's properties check off the contact box to start a dialogue with the fake door. Inform people in that dialogue that this is the abort exit, if they want to continue have a response that leads to the fake door disappearing so they can access the real abort exit. (you should also probably tell them to click the door again to exit. You could also tell them they can abort any Foundry mission at anytime from the Door Icon in the bottom left of the mini-map)

    A good way to do it would be=

    put an invisible intractable on your map (on this item, put your dialogue explaining this is an abort exit 'WDtHU3x.jpg)

    set the 'invisible intractable' to disappear when ('dialogue prompt reached' select the Orange highlighted response)

    Then add whatever item/ thing you want the Exit to be, set Exit to appear when ('dialogue prompt reached' select the Orange highlighted response)

    Boom! all done :D
    this is just one way I thought of to solve your problem, Hope it helps

    Thanks for the responses.

    Will give it a go and see if I can get it sorted.

    People can leave at any time through the minimap now, there is no reason to bother with an abort exit.
    Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

    Yeah, I may take that option and just use some cosmetic stuff to make something look like and entrance / exit. Stick an invisi-clicky on it and inform of the exit option.

    Feels a bit "wrong" though, I'm a big fan of "realism" (insofar as it exists in a computer game) in things like this.

    Anyway, thanks all for all the advice, even the bits I didn't understand. I'm learning new stuff about the Foundry every day.

    This. Abort exit is a leftover from before it was built into the UI. Authors used to have to have an abort exit in every map, so if you see one the quest is probably a leftover from beta that wasn't cleaned up to remove the exit.

    Yeah, don't confuse 'abort exit' with an exit back to Protector's Enclave. Abort exits caused more problems than you can imagine. To this day I am sure many of us still read every single shiney clicky before we interact to make sure it isn't an abort exit.
