Black: /* Code */

A [[Teleporter]] is a [[BZW]] map structure that defines a object which transports the user to another teleporter in a different part of the world/map.
To be used effectively, one or more teleporters must be combined with [[link|links]].

==Code==
[[Image:Teleporter.jpg|frame|right|Teleporter with the default textures]]
The code for a teleporter object is as follows
{|
|
teleporter
name example_teleporter_name
position 0.0 0.0 0.0
size 5 0.125 20
rotation 0.0
border 1.12
end
|}

OR

{|
|
teleporter example_teleporter_name
position 0.0 0.0 0.0
size 5 0.125 20
rotation 0.0
border 1.12
end
|}

Valid parameters for a teleporter are
<properties>
name=defines a name for the teleport (2.0+ only). although rarely used, it proves helpful to use these for linking teleports by [[link]] object.
position=defines the center of the teleporter in X and Y and the bottom of the teleporter in Z.
rotation=defines a rotation around the Z axis for the teleporter, in degrees.
size=defines the distance from the center to the side of the teleporter in X and Y, and the total height of the teleporter in Z.
border=defines the yellow caution border around the teleporter entry point.
</properties>

Note: Teleporters are entered through Y. As such, it is recommended to keep Y fairly small (.125 works well). However, if Y is zero, it will cause BZFlag bugs. If you need to enter a teleport from X, rotating it 90 degrees is the suggested solution. Teleports are 2-sided, not 4.

==Appearance==
Teleporters appear with a yellow/black caution texture on the outer border of the object and with a pulsing texture in the middle.

==History==
The teleporters first appeared in BZFlag 1.0.0. In [[BZFlag 2.0.0]], they were redesigned, introducing the name field, making link creation easier for designers.

==Editor Support==
Supported by all known editors.
