How can I create a Teleporter that Moves someone around the map ( like the ones in UnlimitedParty2 ) . I need this because i want to create a network of teleporters for the admin so he can look at ppl at diffent places on the map but without having to go across the map ( I DONT mean like just moving the camera - i mean moving the whole person)

So how do I create teleporters?

Thanks

( By the way - it might be good if someone also wrote a tutorial on teleporters - i cant find one anywhere! )

Ok I'll whip on up now :)

I'll just cover the basic from point a to poiont b.

ok:

First thing you need to do is get two pads (Can be anything you want, for this porpuse I have made small disc teles.)
Next find the navagation point actor "Teleporter".

Place one on each pad.

Next go into a tele properties and call it "Tele1" or something like that and then do the same for the second one but this time 2 (yay! we can count)

Last bit is the url setting in the properties which can be found under teleporter. Enter tele2 in the tele 1 props and vice versa. You can now tele :D (See pic if that made no snce ;) )

Thats good.

Someone should really post that to a deus ex tutorial site because there is no good tutorial for teleporting in Deus Ex.

Thanks

when i did put a teleporter in DxBlade_SecretArea i found how to in a tutorial... but cant remember which...have u tried tack's?

darkknight, i think there are already A LOT of tutorials out there... but if you make either a very simple tutorial or a very advanced one it will be good :P

i've decided to put a tutorial section on my site too, but i do it because there is NOT any tutorial translated into italian and that's just what i want to do 8)
