Teleporters can be created using standard Source entities.

One-way teleporter

File:Rustiznotch teleportation.jpg

An example teleportation room.

Start by creating a brush and texturing it with tools/toolstrigger. Now select the brush and click toEntity (or Ctrl+T), select trigger_teleport and click Apply. 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 appropriate name (teleport_destination_1, for example).
• Change to the 'Flags' tab and check the 'Clients' flag to allow players to teleport.

Note:(For a full list of Keyvalues and Flags see the Trigger teleport entity).

Note:The tools/toolstrigger texture will be invisible in game, so remember to build a visible wall behind it, or some other way of showing where the teleport entrance is.

Next, create an info_teleport_destination from the entity list where you want the teleport exit to be. This will be the point where the player is teleported to.

• Set the 'Name' attribute to the appropriate name that was used in the previous step (teleport_destination_1).

Now in game, when you touch the trigger_teleport, you come out at the info_teleport_destination.

Making Teleporters Team-Specific

If you have teleporters in your map that are out in the open, and you want to make them team-specific, add 1 filter_activator_tfteam per teleporter that you are making team-specific.

• In the filter_activator_tfteam properties, name your activator, and set the 'Team' to RED/BLU based on which team you want the teleporter to be used by.
• Open your trigger_teleport properties, and set 'Filter Name' to the name of the corresponding filter_activator_tfteam.
