Teleport Help Topic

This is a topic to help with installing your Teleport Item:

There are 2 Categories that you can fit into.

How to tell what category you are in:

1. When you enter a Telport Trigger in the game you get a promt that says Teleport Activated Stay Still in a green box at the bottom. When you go into the ingame editor and you try to make a trigger one of the options is Teleport Trigger. If this is what happens to you read the Solve Section 1.

2. When you enter a Teleport Trigger in the game you don't get a promt that says Teleport Activated Stay Still or fade. Or the Demo Level dosn't open and you get red text in the Console. If this is what happens to you read the Solve Section 2.

Solve:

1. Open console and The Teleport on The Demo Level you should get this script:
Teleport Client: 2844
goscoty called!
Transforming from (Coordinates 1) to (Coordinates 2)

If you don't see this you should take the origanal triggers.cs file from my download and put it in marble/server/scripts press replace when promted. Open the origanal Triggers.cs file and add the Teleport script at the bottom of the page to the bottom of the file.

2. 1) Check you Polyhedrons 2. re-install.

Not in any of the 2 categories, lol.

serverCmdTeleportPlayer : Unknown Command

Same coding for me! RB, you must have some file that you forgot to add with the zip.

Heck, I even created an electricity.wav without success.
There's something missing in here. I don't know what is. Perhaps go to the MBG folder and go to every single folder in there and click on the "last modified" tab above and then look @ the dates so that you can pick up all the files that were modified.. shall we say... for the last week?

I think I know whats wrong Matan Can you post the triggers.cs script for microsoft. The only one who got the green box was perishingflames so I think that the microsoft game is coded differently. he script should work, but Your putting it in the wrong place. Try to find a file with scripts like the one I made, but of the help and out of bounds triggers in it that is where you should put the script I made
