Trigger teleport

Entity description

It is a trigger that teleports entities that touch its volume. Entities are teleported to the Remote Destination, and have their angles set to that of the Remote Destination's angles. If a Local Destination Landmark is specified, teleported entities are offset from the target by their initial offset from the landmark, and their angles are left alone.

In code, it is represented by theCTriggerTeleportclass, defined in thetriggers.cppfile.

Keyvalues

Remote Destination ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

The entity specifying the point to which entities should be teleported. Usually either a info_teleport_destination or info_target.

Note:Any entity can be used as the teleport destination, including players.

Warning: Teleport to a killed teleport destination entity will crash your client/server.

Local Destination Landmark ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

If specified, then teleported entities are offset from the target by their initial offset from the landmark.

Tip:You can use !self to use the origin of this entity as the landmark.

Local Destination Landmark Usage - Player position relative to the green circle (when teleported) is transferred to the destination. The green X's represent the Offset Position.

BaseTrigger

Filter Name (filtername) <filter> A filter entity to test potential activators against. Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean> Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Flags

BaseTrigger

Everything (not including physics debris) : [64] Clients (Survivors, Special Infected, Tanks ) : [1] Only clients in vehicles : [32] Only clients *not* in vehicles : [512] Disallow Bots (removed since ) : [4096] NPCs (Common Infected, Witches ) : [2] Only player ally NPCs : [16] Only NPCs in vehicles (respects player ally flag) : [2048] Physics Objects (not including physics debris) : [8] Physics debris (include also physics debris) : [1024] Pushables (Passes entities with classname func_pushable) : [4]  Deprecated. Equivalent to using Everything + filter_activator_class that filters func_pushable.

Note:Some SDK versions list trigger_teleport flag 32 as "Preserve angles even when a local landmark is not specified" but may actually behave according the newer flags above. To achieve the angle-preserving behavior, you can instead specify !activator for the landmark property.

Inputs

BaseTrigger

Toggle Toggles this trigger between enabled and disabled states. Enable Enable trigger Disable Disable trigger TouchTest  (in all games since ) Triggers either the OnTouching or OnNotTouching outputs for whether anything is touching this entity. Bug:Sleeping prop_physics will never fire "OnTouching". Also applies to entities using prop_physics as base.  (tested in: ) StartTouch  (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if the !caller entity had just entered the trigger volume. Accepts non-physical entities. EndTouch  (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if !caller had just exited the trigger volume. DisableAndEndTouch  (only in ) Disables this trigger and calls EndTouch on all currently-touching entities.

Outputs

BaseTrigger

OnStartTouch !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger. OnStartTouchAll !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger, and no other entities are touching it. If there are any other entities touching the trigger when a new one begins to touch, only OnStartTouch will fire. OnEndTouch !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity stops touching this trigger. Note:Will also fire for entities touching it when trigger is disabled via Disable input Warning:This includes entities which are deleted while inside the trigger. In this case !activator will be invalid. Warning:OnEndTouch can fire before OnStartTouch under certain circumstances[How?] where both are fired on the same tick and each have the same delay. Fix:Add a slight delay to OnEndTouch. OnEndTouchAll !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when all valid entities stop touching this trigger. OnTouching  (in all games since ) !activator = !caller = this entity Fired if something is currently touching this trigger when TouchTest is fired. OnNotTouching  (in all games since ) !activator = !caller = this entity Fired if nothing is currently touching this trigger when TouchTest is fired.
