obj_teleporter

obj_teleporter is a point entity available in Team Fortress 2. An entrance teleporter is used in tandem with an exit teleporter in order to teleport a player instanteously. Both teleporters can be upgraded by an engineer up to level 2 and 3, and in doing so, will significantly reduce the time to recharge on the entrance teleporter.

Flags

BaseObject:

Invulnerable : [2]

Bug:Invulnerable buildings can still be stunned with the Sapper or completely destroyed with the Red-Tape Recorder.  [todo tested in?]

Inputs

Parentname:

SetParent <string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

TFObject:

SetHealth <integer>

Sets the current and maximum health. If the object is upgraded, the health will scale according to the new value.

Bug:Crashes if set to 0.  [todo tested in?]

AddHealth <integer>

Increase the current health of the object. Does not surpass maximum health. Does not destroy the building if set at 0.

RemoveHealth <integer>

Decrease current health of the object. Destroys the object if the health hits 0.

SetSolidToPlayer <boolean>

Sets the object to be solid or non-solid to players. 0 - non-solid, 1 - solid. !FGD

Note:The builder of the building will always be solid to the object.

SetTeam <integer>

Ses the team the object is allied to. Does not change skin.

Skin <integer>

Sets the skin the object uses. Useful in conjunction with SetTeam.

SetBuilder

Sets the builder of the object to the !activator.

Show

Makes the building visible and re-enables it.

Bug:Does not hide the obj_dispenser screen. A workaround is to fire the SetInactive (or SetActive) on the vgui_screen entity, although it will apply to all buildings.  [todo tested in?]

Enable

Enable the object.

Note:Using Enable after using the Hide input will enable the building and keep it invisible.

Bug:Enable will reset the upgrade level on the object. Use the Show input instead, which properly re-enables the object.  [todo tested in?]
