pointteleport.cpp

point_teleport is a point entity available in all Source games. It teleports a target entity to this position and angles. If the "Teleport Home" spawn flag is set, teleports the target entity to its spawn position instead. If object is physically simulated, simulation is turned off when teleported. To teleport the player, use a "Target" keyvalue of !player. To teleport an entity (including a player) that begins an I/O sequence, use a "Target" keyvalue of !activator.

Note:The entity does not update its origin or angles, even after it has moved. Use TeleportToCurrentPos instead or trigger_teleport in older games as an alternative.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Inputs

Teleport

Teleport the target entity.

TeleportEntity <targetnameRedirectInput/string> (in all games since ) (also in )

Teleport the entity specified by the parameter override. Use this to teleport an entity other than the one specified in the "Entity To Teleport" field.

TeleportToCurrentPos  (in all games since ) (also in )

Teleport the target entity to wherever the point_teleport entity is currently. The Teleport input teleports to the initial position of the point_teleport, so this input was added to avoid breaking old content.}}
