I need help how to make teleport on map? On Annas Polyworks

I've never made one but apperently it's a whole lot of poly's on top of eachother(Or something of the sort)?

All i know is, it's kind of complicated.

[Horve]

you think of and make one poly that you want to be a polygon that bounces you high up/far away as soon as you walk on it.
you copy it and paste it and put onto the first one. Now you have two. copy the two and put them up onto eachother- now you have 4. continue until you have 128 polys in one place.
2x2=4
4x2=8
8x2=16
16x2=32
32x2=64
64x2=128

the more you put, the faster you get blasted. If you have craploads of poly's in one place, then it will blast you so fast, that polygons will not be obstacles.

Will that make teleports?

[spkka]

yes it will move you up
Just script a teleporter with moveplayer its not that hard..

[Cookiegangsta]

wow didn't know that.

[Laser Guy]

Actually there was one map with teleports made out of pollies...

How is this done?

Here is a nice map with teleports. Just please don't post in that thread, unless necessary.

It uses the soldat script core. To learn more, go to the Scripting discussions and help board.

I wish there were more activity of making teleporters. it's awsum

To create the most stable and smooth teleport for a soldat map,
Download the Ctf_Warp map by Mat-Na at the below link and then
use polyworks and snap the parts with the teleports and save them
as prefabs or whatever that was so you could get them pasted on
your map and then just adjust them as needed.

This map features 2 extremely smooth and precise teleports.

Wow, so many good comments on that link, but the download in that thread doesn't work, if you have it would you mind re-uploading

Oh bugger.

But no worries, I still have a copy of it. Have fun.

I just checked how to make a Teleport which throws u away, how can I make one into the other direction like in ctf_Warp? (nearby: needs better waypoints )

[numgun]

Just copy the obvious part that is the teleport on ctf_Warp and save it as a prefab or whatever that was called (I havent mapped for AGES) and then just load that prefab on your map and paste it.

From there, you can do what ever you want. To increase/decrease the range of the teleport,
just add/remove the thin lines that are stacked (that thin polygon bunch is the very teleport)
Then you can use polyworks to rotate, flip and mirror the teleport and build the map around it.

I've used these teleports on 3 maps. 2 of them are in my Eradication wars map pack and the other one was an experimental gamemode which I never released.


But do note, when you flip these teleports from ctf_Warp, results may vary.
Sometimes the teleport will suddenly work in the opposite direction. So watch out for that.

Thank u very much for ur explaination, but till I am good with Poly itĀ“s a long way, am training my skills at poly, but all maps IĀ“ve uploaded are with normal Mapmaker

A demo with what teleports dooooo

Attached... below...

[As de Espada]

I had prefabed it, I took it from a mario map
TP Down
TP Up

[chutem]

If you want to control which way the teleport works easily, this is how I do it:

Take the middle point, with grid turned off, and move it up or down (Down to teleport the player down, vice versa for up) 1 pixel (the shortest possible distance) at max zoom.
Compile.
Turn on grid then select the point and move it so it snaps back to grid.
Compile.
Voila.

[Edit] You can also control how far away it move you to by adding polygons. this type of teleport actuall moves you, e.g., it doesn't fire you through the polygons.
