One-way teleporter

An example teleportation room.
Start by creating a trigger_teleport as a brush_entity and placing it where you want the teleport entry zone to be. This will be the area in which a player must enter to be teleported (see picture on the right).
- Set the 'Remote Destination' to an arbitrary name (destination1, for example).
- Change to the 'Flags' tab and check the 'Clients' flag.
Next, create an info_teleport_destination as an entity where you want the teleport exit zone. This will be the area where the player is teleported to.
- Set the 'Name' attribute to the arbitrary name that was used in the previous step (destination1).
